Market Dynamics

Market Drivers

Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Disorders to Fuel Market Growth

The growing prevalence of chronic conditions, such as infectious disorders, is resulting in a rising number of diagnostic procedures among the patient population, subsequently boosting the demand for biosafety cabinets among research professionals.

• For instance, according to data published by the Global TB Report, it was reported that about 28 lakh people were estimated to have been newly affected with TB in the year 2023 in India.

In addition, the growing focus of governmental organizations on early diagnosis and population-based screening, is further augmenting the adoption rate of these cabinets in the market. Therefore, the factors above, along with the increasing emphasis of key players on research and development activities to introduce innovative products, are expected to fuel the adoption rate of these devices, thereby supporting the India biosafety cabinets market growth.

Other Prominent Drivers

• Expansion of diagnostic infrastructure and public health surveillance.
• Stricter biosafety regulations and accreditation requirements.

Market Restraints

High Cost of These Devices to Hamper the Market Growth

There is a growing demand for technologically advanced biosafety cabinets in the market. However, the high cost associated with these advanced devices hampers the adoption rate for these products.

The total ownership cost, including the upfront costs, maintenance costs, and other additional costs, which includes the cost for room airflow discipline, integration of exhaust/ducting, makes it challenging for smaller hospitals and laboratories to adopt these advanced devices. These ongoing costs increases the total ownership cost, which pushes smaller labs toward deferred replacement, purchasing lower cost imports or refurbished equipment, extending product life beyond ideal replacement cycles, thereby hampering the market growth.

• For instance, according to the 2024 data published by Excedr, Labconco’s BSCs range from USD 6,000 to USD 15,000.

Market Opportunities

Expansion of Healthcare Infrastructure to Create Market Growth Opportunity

There is a rapid expansion in the healthcare sectors in India. The increasing prevalence of chronic conditions, improvement in safety regulations, rising R&D investment in biopharma and vaccines, and rising number of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are consequently increasing the adoption of biosafety cabinets in healthcare facilities.

This expansion is also leading to the addition of new labs, which is further driving the capacity augmentation, standardization, workflow upgrades, and introduction of new instruments in the market. Therefore, expansion of the healthcare network is creating a lucrative opportunity among the key players to introduce novel products in the market.

• According to 2025 statistics published by the India Brand Equity Foundation, there are over 3,000 drug companies in India.

Market Challenges

Regulatory Barriers to Limit the Market Growth

There are growing benefits of technologically advanced biological safety cabinets, resulting in a growing adoption rate for these products in the market. However, the strict regulatory guidelines for these products is one prominent factor hampering the penetration rate of these products in the market. The biosafety cabinets are subjected to various standards, including NABL’s criteria ISO 15189:2022, which drives expectations around controlled facilities/equipment management and other further demands for continuous update of the design of their biosafety cabinets among manufacturers, which adds to additional cost and development time.

• The ISO/IEC 17025 (testing labs) is used for containment guidance and is commonly applied where labs seek competence accreditation in India.
