Clinical Laboratory Incubators Market Dynamics

Rise in the Prevalence of Infectious Diseases

The rise in the prevalence of infectious diseases is one of the key factors which aids the market to grow during the forecast period. As laboratory incubators are important tools for studying infectious diseases which indeed help to provide a controlled environment for the growth of viruses, bacteria, and fungi.

For instance, The rising frequency of infectious illnesses has resulted in an increase in the number of sample testing and cell-based research performed in laboratory incubators Diseases such as SARS, Zika, Ebola, and COVID-19 have contributed to a rise in the global illness burden. Zoonotic infectious agents, which are animal illnesses that develop to infect human hosts, accounted for around 60% of known human pathogens and up to 75% of new infections.

 Climate change is projected to impact the epidemiology of infectious illnesses by shifting the geographic ranges of microbes and vectors. Microbes can adapt to warmer temperatures, potentially bringing new infectious illnesses and modifying the epidemiology of existing ones. 

Technological Advancements in Clinical Laboratory Incubators 

Technological advancements are one of the key factors which play an important role in the laboratory incubators market development during the forecast period. For instance, in July 2023 Amerigo Scientific, a distributor focused on providing critical products and services to biomedical and life science communities, has recently updated its line of laboratory incubators with more advanced features. 

One of those advancements was the Auto water refilling system. Some incubators come with an auto water refilling system that eliminates the need for manual water filling. This feature is designed to make the laboratories more efficient, allowing scientists to focus on their research rather than worrying about maintaining the incubators. 

Rise in Government Investments

The rise in government investments is one of the key factors that drive the clinical laboratory incubators market to grow during the forecast period. For instance, in February 2023, The Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS), a flagship scheme under the Startup India initiative has been implemented with effect from 1st April 2021. Under the Scheme, Rs. 477.25 crore has been approved for 133 incubators of which Rs. 211.63 crore has been disbursed as on 31st December 2022.

Risk of Contamination

It is crucial to emphasize the importance of proper incubator care to prevent corrosion and material loss. Cleanliness is critical for preventing contamination in cell cultures. Dust and dirt can be carried by air currents created by movement in the lab. Normal indoor room air contains 100–1000 microorganisms per cubic meter, all circulating at any given moment, most of which come from the trillions of normal flora that live in and on the skin. 

This means that contaminants can enter each time the incubator door is opened. The lab should be cleaned at least once a month, including cleaning and disinfecting the biological safety cabinet, water bath, centrifuge, microscope and all corners of the lab and around equipment. Cardboard storage in or around refrigerators and freezers should be eliminated as cardboard can get wet and breed fungi. Items should not be stored on top of the incubator because dust and dirt could be swept inside the chamber via air currents created during door opening.

Clinical Laboratory Incubators Market Segment Analysis

The global clinical laboratory incubators market is segmented based on product type, application, end user and region.

The Benchtop Incubator From The Product Type Segment Accounted for Approximately 43.1% of the Clinical Laboratory Incubators Market  Share

The benchtop incubator from the product type segment accounted for 43.1% and it is expected to be dominated during the forecast period. Benchtop incubators are a convenient and space-efficient option for laboratories and other research facilities that need to maintain a controlled environment for growing or culturing cells, microorganisms, or plants.

For instance, in May 2022 Cook Medical launched MINC Benchtop Incubator for IVF clinics in the US and Canada. This incubator is available to clinical embryologists and IVF clinics in the US and Canada. This next-generation incubator incorporates updated features and user feedback, making it a significant improvement for embryologists. The DishTrace platform offers dish-data management tools.

Also, Based on end-user, the hospitals and diagnostic laboratories segment is contributing the largest share of revenues to the laboratory incubators market and is likely to overgrow during the forecast period owing to the factors such as increasing healthcare expenditure and investments in developing countries, growing population of the countries like China, India, Brazil and rise in need of advanced healthcare systems.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Covid impact had numerous impacts on the global clinical laboratory incubator market where As new COVID-19 variants emerged, however, the incubation period changed. Research shows that the incubation time decreased as the virus mutated. Compared with the original “wild type” COVID-19 virus, which had an average incubation period of 6.65 days, the incubation period for subsequent variants shortened. The Alpha variant's incubation period was 5.0 days. The Beta variants were 4.50 days. The Delta variants were 4.41 days. And Omicron's has been 3.42 days.8 Taken all together, the average incubation period of COVID between December 1, 2019, and February 10, 2022, was 6.57 days.

Even though the incubation period is shorter, COVID-19 still has a longer incubation period than other respiratory infections. The incubation period for influenza can be as short as 1.43 days and it can be just 1.4 days for rhinovirus.
