The three product segments include: laboratory instruments and equipment; laboratory chemicals, reagents, and kits; and laboratory consumables which are further broken down. The end-user market segments covered are: biopharmaceutical; academic; industrial; government; and patient care.
According to the report, the global laboratory products market totaled $36.2 billion in 2010. Approximately 43% of revenues were generated in the United States and 57% outside the U.S. The sales of chemicals, reagents, & life science kits, continues to be the leading contributor to global market growth.
