From Agilent to ZEISS: SDi's 2025 Report Dissects Market Share and Growth Across 21 Lab Instrument Leaders

ARLINGTON, Va., June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Strategic Directions International (SDi), a leading provider of business intelligence for the analytical and life science instruments industry, has released its much-anticipated report, Company Market Shares: Competitive Profiles of Leading Instrument Suppliers, 2025. This data-driven analysis provides a supplier-centric view of the global laboratory instrumentation market, offering a detailed examination of 21 of the top instrument vendors, from Agilent and Sartorius to Thermo Fisher and ZEISS.

The report serves as a companion to SDi's flagship 2025 Global Assessment Report: The Analytical and Life Science Instrumentation Industry, which forecasts demand across more than 80 lab technologies. While the Global Assessment Report breaks down growth by instrumentation type, the new Company Market Shares report focuses on the companies behind the tools—analyzing market share evolution, technology-specific revenues, M&A activity, and positioning trends from 2019 to 2024, including changes before and after the pandemic.

"Companies that were once highly exposed to pandemic-driven revenue streams have had to adapt to new market dynamics," said Alice Kan, Market Analytics Manager at SDi. "As a result, vendors increasing share are those leaning into growth areas like oncology, cell and gene therapy, sustainable materials, and AI-enabled lab automation—while others face stagnation or retreat."
