Laboratory Furnaces Market Outlook (2022 to 2032)

[225 Pages Report] The global laboratory furnaces market is set to surpass USD 545.1 million in 2032 from a valuation of USD 327.0 Million in 2022. The market is anticipated to exhibit steady growth at a CAGR of 5.2% in the forecast period from 2022 to 2032.

Laboratory furnaces are heating devices that are commonly used in industrial laboratories for different applications such as sterilizing, annealing, polymer treatment, evaporation, and solvent removal. Advancements in the features of laboratory furnaces are expected to boost the market across multiple industries. Increasing demand for laboratories in various industries such as oil & gas, chemical, and pharma is set to create high demand in the laboratory furnaces market during the forecast period.

Besides, the rising need for laboratory furnaces in research laboratories, quality assurance labs, diagnostic testing labs, medical labs, Research and Development laboratories, and manufacturing facilities are set to push the market. As per FMI, the global laboratory furnaces market currently holds around ~1% to 3% of its parent market, i.e. the global laboratory equipment market.

Furthermore, the laboratory furnaces market is expected to grow steadily in the next ten years as educational establishments and industrialization continue to rise. Growth will also be driven by the need for more accurate and precise measurements in research & development centers, as well as the increasing demand for higher-quality products from industries.

The new versions of furnaces have liners that shield the interior from damage when exposed to harsh elements. The thermal insulation of bricks ensures that the heat is kept inside the furnace, which makes it more efficient. These exclusive apparatuses, along with the hybrid heat performance, are easier to use than other furnaces. The grime accumulation is minimized in such devices, which conserves the appliance's longevity.

Careful usage of laboratory furnaces requires qualified operators and a well-ventilated room or lab design. Given that furnaces work at extremely high temperatures, special care must be taken for handling chemical or material samples as it results in fumes, as well as is dangerous for operators. This contributes to their selective usage and installation in schools or companies. Such safety concerns are viewed as minor restrictions on market growth. Owing to the aforementioned factors, the laboratory furnaces market is anticipated to grow by 1.6x from 2022 to 2032.

Regionally, North America is expected to dominate the global laboratory furnaces market in terms of revenue in 2022. The US is projected to hold nearly 78.3% of the share in the North American market throughout the forecast period.
