Atrium Research Delivers the First Industry Report on the Emerging Market for Electronic Laboratory Notebooks
Atrium Research & Consulting, the only market research organization dedicated to scientific informatics, announced today the release of the first independent industry report on the emerging Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) market. This nearly 200 page report is the culmination of months of in-depth research and analysis on ELN best practices, customer requirements, key suppliers, legal issues, benefits, and industry trends. The ELN market size is analyzed along with growth rates and supplier market shares. Additionally, the use of ELN technology to enable an enterprise knowledge management strategy is investigated. Over 50 charts, tables and figures illustrate key points.
Paper laboratory notebooks have been used for hundreds of years. Despite billions of dollars of investment in computer technology and automated instrumentation, the paper notebook has remained as a final repository of experimental data and results. An ELN not only replaces the paper notebook, but also enables collaborative and electronic R&D. It is designed for intellectual property protection, support of patent and drug applications, streamlining operational processes, knowledge management, and compliance with government regulations. ELNs are utilized in drug discovery, food development, packaged goods R&D, medical device design, chemical manufacturing, and for many other applications. The potential market for ELN technology is large – over $1 billion – and sales of vendor solutions are growing over 30% per year.
With over 25 ELN suppliers offering a wide range of capabilities and features, prospective users can gain the knowledge and insight they need to make an informed vendor selection. Best practices and details on common needs will help them to streamline requirements and project planning. Informatics suppliers and developers can discover the keys to success in this fast growing market.
