Laboratory Shaker Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year and the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Laboratory Shaker Market Drivers
The increased use of laboratory shakers in various applications is notably driving the laboratory shaker market growth. These are increasingly used in applications like chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, environmental and food sciences, clinical diagnostics, and eukaryotic cell culture. The use of shakers ranges from basic research to bioproduction. They are increasingly adopted in drug solubility studies. These studies observe the interactions between a solid solute and a solvent. Laboratory shakers, like orbital shakers, help researchers achieve equilibrium of the solid solute and the solubility medium through agitation. The agitation rate is important as it prevents particle agglomeration and ensures particle contact. Such orbital shakers help develop more effective drugs by determining the formulation and compatibility of solutions.
Large-scale applications in biotechnology use shaker technology for the cultivation of mammalian cells. Mammalian cells are used to produce vaccines and are the sources of therapeutic proteins required for patients suffering from diseases like Gaucher's disease, a congenital disorder characterized by the buildup of fatty acids in certain organs, particularly the liver and the spleen. Mammalian cells are grown in glass spinner flasks based on orbital shaker technology. These shakers are increasingly used in research studies like cosmetics for testing the effectiveness of cosmetic formulations. Therefore, the growing applications of shakers are contributing to the growth of the laboratory mixer market.
Significant Laboratory Shaker Market Trends
The digital interface of laboratory shakers is the key market trend driving the laboratory shaker market growth. These shakers were available as equipment with an analog interface, but with technological advances, shakers with digital interfaces are becoming an emerging trend. The digital interface helps set the timer and the shaking speed. Orbit Digital Shakers like the M60, P2, and P4 Microtube and Microplate Shakers of Labnet International enable setting the shaker speed and operation time digitally with digital displays of speed and time values on the large three-digit light-emitting diode (LED). The parameters required for the analysis are selected with the help of a knob, which makes the instrument ideal for incubator use.
Digital shakers track time runs, continuity of usage, and revolutions per minute (RPM) settings for improved test procedure repeatability. The non-stop optical motor, due to the digital interface, provides instantaneous speed adjustment and instantly adjusts to weight load changes and unbalanced loads for reproducible results. Stuart Orbital Shakers by Bibby Scientific can be used in incubators and environmental chambers. The instrument possesses a digital display. Such lab shakers enabling the digital timer for functionalities like a countdown function will drive the laboratory mixer market during the forecast period.
Major Laboratory Shaker Market Challenges
The major challenge to laboratory shaker market growth is the high cost of shakers. The price of the shaker depends on the type of shaker, as each shaker offers varied features. The Thermo Fisher Scientific MaxQ 3000 Benchtop Shaker featuring a triple-eccentric drive for uniform agitation at speeds up to 500 rpm, costs around $5,000-$7,000 and is used in applications like diagnostic testing, cell cultures, solubility studies, and general mixing.
Moreover, Eppendorf's New Brunswick Innova 44/44R incubator shaker with optional refrigeration costs around $15,000-$20,000. This product offers temperature capabilities for culturing a variety of organisms in flasks up to 5 L. The high cost of such devices is hindering the growth of the laboratory mixer market, as laboratories with low capital investments find it hard to invest heavily in such products.

What is the Fastest-Growing Segment in the Laboratory Shaker Market?
The laboratory mixer market share growth by the orbital shakers segment will be significant during the forecast period. The orbital shaker segment dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period. The smooth and continuous motion of orbital shakers for uniform mixing makes them popular for use in different applications like microbiology. The orbital shaker possesses a circular shaking motion at a relatively low speed without vibrations and produces low heat compared with other kinds of shakers. It is suitable for culturing microbes, washing blots, and general mixing applications.

The orbital shakers segment was valued at USD 274.83 million in 2017 and continue to grow by 2021. Orbital shakers are increasingly used in laboratories, as they can handle multiple flasks and accommodate two tiers. They also provide the benefit of placing the shaker inside a standard or cell culture incubator, thereby effectively converting the incubator into a shaking incubator. These shakers do not heat up the sample and help to optimize the temperature. These shakers are mainly used in applications like tissue culture to prevent damage to the tissue due to high temperatures. The shakers use asynchronous motors, enabling silent operation and constant shaking speed independent of the load or power supply functions. The shakers also serve as a mixer, as the samples are mixed in tubes, vials, and microplates by shaking the sample during operation, thereby increasing the demand for products for general mixing applications. Such factors will increase the market growth during the forecast period.
