The global Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) market is undergoing a digital evolution, transforming how research data is managed, recorded, and analyzed across laboratories worldwide. In 2024, the market is valued at USD 568.0 million and is projected to witness steady and promising growth. According to forecasts, the market will expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% from 2024 to 2034, eventually reaching an impressive valuation of USD 1,066.2 million by the end of the forecast period.
This growth is underpinned by increasing demand for digitization in research and development (R&D) environments, especially within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and chemical industries. ELNs offer secure, searchable, and shareable platforms for researchers, replacing traditional paper-based lab notebooks. The need for efficient data management, regulatory compliance, and remote accessibility has further accelerated the shift to ELNs, particularly post-COVID, where digital infrastructure has become essential in laboratory operations.
