The global Microplates market size is predicted to grow from US$ 646 million in 2025 to US$ 754 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% from 2025 to 2031.
Microplates are a detection laboratory consumable that has become a standard tool in analytical research and clinical diagnostic testing laboratories. One common use is enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which is the basis of most modern medical diagnostic tests in humans and animals. Microplates typically have 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 384, or 1536 sample well arranged in a 2:3 rectangular matrix. Each well of a microplate typically holds tens of nanoliters to a few milliliters of liquid. Today, microplates are used for nearly all applications in life science research, including filtration, separation, optical detection, storage, reaction mixing, cell culture, and detection of antimicrobial activity. The earliest microplates were created by Hungarian Dr. Gyula Takatsy in 1951, and general use began in the late 1980s when Jhnliner introduced molded versions. By 1990, there were more than 15 companies producing a variety of microplates with different functions.In 1996, the Society for Biomolecular Screening (SBS) set out to create a standard definition of microplates. A series of standards was proposed in 2003 and published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) on behalf of SBS. The standard governs various characteristics of microplates, including well size as well as microplate characteristics, allowing interoperability between microplates, instruments and devices from different suppliers, especially important in laboratory automation, 2010, The Association for Biomolecular Sciences and the Association for Laboratory Automation (ALA) have merged to form a new organization, the Association for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS). Hereafter, the microplate standard is known as the ANSI/SLAS standard. The production and manufacturing of microplates in China started relatively late and is still in the initial stage of development. Most enterprises have small production scales, slightly rough production processes, poor independent research and development capabilities, and uneven product quality. Under the characteristics of this industry, leading enterprises have become industry standard setters through technological innovation, production process innovation, and marketing model innovation. Leading enterprises have always been in an active position in terms of product performance, cost control, and market development through their first-mover advantages in R&D technology, large-scale production, marketing channels, and financial strength, thus leading the development direction of the industry.
In China, the key players of microplates include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Corning, Eppendorf, VWR, Qiagen, etc. The top five players hold a share about 65% of China market. In terms of product type, 96-well is the largest segment, occupied for a share of 76%, and in terms of application, pharmaceutical companies has a share about 48 percent.
