Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) Market: Academic End User Segment Projected to Increase at the Highest Growth Rate: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment, 2016-2026

LONDON, Jan. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) is a software solution developed as a substitute to conventional paper lab notebooks. Electronic lab notebook software encourages digitalization of laboratory data, offering benefits such as making data search easier, enabling efficient organization of data, collaboration, protection and centralization of data, among others. It also enables scientists and researchers to search, access, as well as share results of their experiments. In addition, it is essential for an ELN software to adhere to regulations such as FDA 21 CFR 11, and others according to each region, to assure effective security of data. Electronic laboratory notebooks are rapidly gaining popularity and replacing paper notebooks in laboratory practices in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, academics, food & beverages, consumer goods and others.

Revenue generated by global electronic lab notebook market is estimated to reach US$ 235.4 Mn by 2016, witnessing an increase of 6.3% over 2015. FMI forecasts the global electronic lab notebook (ELN) market to grow at 10.1% CAGR during the forecast period 2016-2026, and is forecasted to hold a market value of US$ 615.2 Mn by 2026.

Adoption of Electronic Lab Notebook in life sciences industry and academics is significantly boosting the market
