The servicing of analytical and life science instrumentation is vital to maintaining instrument performance capabilities and maximize the life of costly lab assets.  Whether provided by the original instrument manufacturer or by a third0party service provider, the service market includes all service contracts and any replacement parts installed during servicing. Other services like software support and validation service are also included. However, the value of in-house service is excluded from our analysis. In the course of the global COVID-19 pandemic, on-site repair and maintenance visits have been limited by lab closures, social distancing, and other safety protocols that have restricted access to many lab sites. In response, remote support has become more available to accommodate some service needs during the pandemic. Fortunately, as the world recovers from the pandemic, rebounding analytical instrument sales have also pushed the need for instrument services, training, warranty, and installation. With the increasing vaccine implementation in many regions, pandemic-related safety protocols are easing up in laboratories, paving a way to more demand for on-site services and support in the near future. In addition, the increasing popularity of remote assistance has made this form of service a part of the “new normal.”

The 2021 Analytical & Life Science Instrumentation Service Market provides valuable market information and insights for the service market within ten technology segments of the analytical instrument industry. This brief is organized to provide a snapshot of current and future service demand, which is segmented by technology, service type, sector, function, and region. It also explores the competitive landscape of the service market or each technology, including a list of the top vendors and their market share positions. To supplement this data, this publication also analyzes the results of an end-user survey of 248 laboratory personnel, located across regional end markets, who are involved in instrument service spending and allocation. The survey results also provides insights into how instrument usage, service coverage and frequency, budgets, other macroeconomic factors come into play and form service market trends.
