The report utilizes Porter’s five forces analysis and expert interviews to offer a well-rounded perspective on several industry opportunities.
An electronic lab notebook (ELN) is an electronic version of the paper lab notebooks used by scientists to record experiment findings. They are used in various fields such as molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, pharmacology, chemical, food and beverage, microbiology, and other sectors. Researchers and scientists use ELNs to record observations, manage experiment data, improve collaboration, and record experimental protocols. Thus, electronic lab notebooks have a crucial role in drug development and discovery to track drug formulations, manage compound libraries, record preclinical trials, and comply with regulations.
Rise in demand for lab information management systems in the healthcare sector drives the growth of the electronic lab notebook industry. There has been a rapid growth in scientific R&D activities in diseases, which has led to an exponential rise in the amount of data generated in laboratories. Thus, to efficiently manage and analyze this vast data, ELNs are being deployed. ELNs help standardize repetitive procedures and create detailed and structured experimental entries. They organize entries as per topic, project, sample, and other keywords, which facilitates researchers to easily search and locate the relevant data.
Technological advancements such as cloud based ELNs are expected to provide lucrative opportunities owing to their simplicity, scalability, and accessibility of use. They offer automatic updates, real time collaboration, remote access, and quick retrieval of data. ELNs provide role-based access and permissions to access, edit, or comment on experiments, thereby providing additional control over sharing and retrieval of experimental data. This enables better data security as it keeps track of every change with regular backup, thereby preventing accidental data loss or unauthorized edits. This leads to enhanced collaboration and increased research efficiency among researchers while reducing time and manual errors.
