The type II segment was the largest and was valued at USD 558.65 million in 2018. Type II water purifiers are also widely used for pathology, cytology, and histology work; buffer preparation; photometry and spectrophotometry; electrophoresis; general chemistry; and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR has witnessed significant use in the healthcare industry. PCR technologies are used in the diagnosis of diseases such as middle ear infections, tuberculosis, and Lyme disease. In disease detection, PCR is used in identifying and culturing microorganisms that cause diseases. PCR solutions make significant use of laboratory water purifiers to handle microbiological media and for buffer preparation. Type II systems also offer convenience to end-users when compared with ordering bottled HPLC-grade water for laboratory purposes. Therefore, the growing use of PCR solutions will have a direct impact on the demand for Type II water purifiers, leading to increased volume production and the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The healthcare segment comprises hospitals, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and diagnostics centers. There has been an increase in the number of hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, and pharmaceutical companies due to the rise in healthcare expenditure. In hospitals, laboratory water purifiers are used in renal dialysis, in high-volume systems in multi-bed wards, for clinical analyzer feed, and in decontamination and sterile services departments. A significant amount of demand during the forecast period is likely to originate from emerging economies, such as the Philippines and Malaysia. These countries enjoy favorable economic conditions and relatively inexpensive labor. Thus, with the growth of hospitals and the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, the need for filtration systems such as laboratory water purifiers is also increasing. Therefore, the hospital segment is expected to grow and propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The rise in the demand for personalized medicines has resulted in increased research activities in drug development and discovery. Research organizations and institute end-users utilize laboratory water purifiers for research purposes only; hence, their use for these products is much lower than industrial users. This is mainly because of the premium pricing of these systems. Owing to their limited budgets, research organizations and institutes show low adoption of these systems, and the most common application of laboratory water purifiers is the generation of high-purity water. In the coming years, the use of laboratory water purifiers is expected to increase in research organizations and institutes, primarily due to the growing number of collaborations. Therefore, such factors are expected to drive the growth of research organizations and institutions in the laboratory water purifier market in Southeast Asia during the forecast period.

Implementation of innovative technologies and new product launches of laboratory water purifiers is notably driving market growth. The expansion in the field of laboratory experimentation has contributed to developments in laboratory equipment, including laboratory water purifiers. With rapid advances in technology and new product launches, global vendors are upgrading their existing product portfolios to meet the increased demand for laboratory water purifiers. Merck KGaA offers the Milli-Q IQ 7000 system, the seventh-generation Milli-Q water purification system.
Moreover, this Milli-Q IQ 7000 system features a high-definition digital touchscreen for simple operation, purification cartridges that are 33% smaller than the previous versions, a hibernation mode to maintain system water quality with reduced energy consumption, easy connection to lab networks through an integrated data management system, and ech2o mercury-free UV lamps for the photo-oxidation of organic contaminants. Technological upgrades and new product launches by market players will positively impact the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Product recalls in the food and beverage industry generating lab water purifier demand is an emerging trend shaping market development. The global increase in food product recalls due to safety issues, as exemplified by instances like the Singapore Food Authority recalling Eat Real Quinoa Puff products containing undeclared milk allergens and the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore recalling peanut puffs with metal fragments, underscores the crucial need for robust food safety systems. To mitigate the adverse impacts of recalls on revenue and brand reputation, food and beverage companies are increasingly investing in proper food safety measures.
However, this includes employing High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) tests for end-product quality, necessitating ultrapure water from Type I water purification systems to ensure effective test results. As the demand for food safety testing systems rises with increasing recalls, the laboratory water purifier market in Southeast Asia is expected to witness growth. Such factors are expected to drive the market growth during the forecast p[period.
Infrastructure and accessibility issues in remote or rural areas a significant challenges hindering market growth. Infrastructure and accessibility issues in the laboratory water purifier market in Southeast Asia majorly refer to challenges related to the availability and reach of water purification systems, especially in certain regions or areas within Southeast Asia. Remote or rural areas lack the proper infrastructure, such as access to utilities, including clean water. Laboratories in these regions face issues in acquiring and maintaining high-quality water purification systems owing to the logistical challenges in transportation, installation, and servicing. The supply chain for laboratory water purifiers is efficient in certain areas.
However, delays in procurement, lack of availability of spare parts, or dependency on imports can reduce the accessibility of these systems, especially in regions with logistical challenges. Laboratories in rural settings struggle to obtain the same level of water quality owing to the limited access to sophisticated purifiers and experience higher costs due to transportation and maintenance issues. Therefore, the infrastructure and accessibility issues will decline the market growth and trends during the forecast period.

Customer Landscape
The Southeast Asia Laboratory Water Purifier Market is witnessing a surge in demand for advanced water purification devices, especially in laboratory or diagnostic settings where research and development, laboratory experiments, and case studies require ultrapure water. These laboratory water purification systems play a pivotal role in ensuring research integrity across various industries, including pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sectors, addressing specific needs through type and application segmentation. The applications extend to patients with various medical conditions, emphasizing the quality care provided by drug and medical therapy developers. Environmental conditions, pollution levels, and life-threatening medical conditions like cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, allergies, infectious diseases, diabetes, AIDS, Alzheimer's, and genetic disorders are all considered in these systems.
However, challenges persist, including the lack of standardization in new-age water purifiers, regional guidelines, and environmental factors, leading to potential revenue loss for manufacturers. Stringent guidelines from regional governments and international healthcare bodies, along with policies focusing on harmful products and health concerns, drive the need for inspection through DNA-based molecular processes and digital sensory analysis to ensure food and beverages (F&B) safety.
