Atrium Research Publishes Results of 2008 ELN Survey
Wilton, Connecticut USA (August 1, 2008) – Atrium Research, the only independent market research organization dedicated to scientific informatics, announced today the availability of the 2008 Electronic Laboratory Notebook Survey. This study contains the results and analysis of a survey of information technology, management, and scientific personnel in the life sciences, chemical, academic, government and food markets. Comprehensive data and analysis are reported on dozens of questions answered by 527 professionals from over twenty countries. This 140 page report containing 130 charts and tables highlights user and prospective user opinions on data management challenges, technology interest, motivations, project goals, purchase timing, integration needs, and supplier product and brand perception. Comparisons are made with Atrium Research’s 2006 ELN survey to highlight market trends.
The market for ELN is exploding with over thirty suppliers offering commercial solutions. One of the fastest growing informatics markets with a growth rate of nearly 20% per year, ELN is radically improving the effectiveness of laboratory operations. ELN enables new approaches to knowledge management, collaboration, and data integration.
“We project sustained double-digit growth for ELN for at least the next three years” said Michael H Elliott, founder and CEO of Atrium Research. “Our study shows the use of the technology is
expanding beyond early adopters in research synthetic chemistry into domains such as biology and analytical chemistry. Commercial life sciences continue to lead adoption; over 30% of biopharmaceutical companies have installed ELN in at least one department.”
