Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) Market Analysis
The Electronic Laboratory Notebook Market size is estimated at USD 480.44 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 665.69 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.74% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
An Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) is a digital platform that enables researchers, scientists, and laboratory professionals to efficiently capture, organize, and collaborate on experimental data, protocols, and other research-related information in a secure, centralized, and easily accessible manner.
Factors like the increasing need for automation in laboratories, and the growing number of benefits offered by electronic lab notebooks in terms of data entry, and optimization are expected to drive market growth over the study period. In addition, ongoing technological advancements and stringent regulatory requirements for data integrity and accuracy are further expected to accelerate industry growth over the study period.
Laboratory notebooks are essential in research labs to document protocols, experiments, and results. However, sharing and storing paper-based notebooks can often be challenging and time-consuming to search. Hence, research laboratories are now adopting ELN software to replace paper-based notebooks.
This leads major companies to develop ELN software that documents protocols, notes, hypotheses, observations, figures, tables, and pictures. In addition, ELNs offer more functionality by linking to data sets and repositories, sharing with multiple collaborators, versioning entries, and compliance with various standards. This further fuel the adoption of ELN and is expected to drive the market’s growth.
Moreover, several benefits and the growing adoption of electronic lab notebooks across laboratories and healthcare institutions are further projected to accelerate market growth. For instance, according to an article published by Nature Protocols in January 2022, the increased trend of digitalization led scientists to use electronic laboratory notebooks to record and access entries. In addition, these ELN platforms are in high demand amid benefits like less data complexity, easy accessibility, and greater data integrity.
In addition, according to March 2024 updated data from Lab Horizons, the electronic lab notebooks (ELN) facilitate seamless collaboration among scientists within the laboratory, across departments, and even between different institutions. Thus, such advantages associated with these systems are projected to augment their adoption, which in turn is projected to foster industry expansion over the forecast period.
Furthermore, several regulatory requirements that promote the use of electronic documentation systems to ensure data integrity and compliance is also expected to drive the market growth. For instance, in March 2023 the United States Food and Drug Administration released a draft on the use of electronic systems, records, and signatures in clinical investigations. Thus, such a mandate for the use of electronic systems for data recording in healthcare is further projected to boost market growth over the study period.
Thus, the above-mentioned factors like increased demand for electronic lab notebooks across healthcare sectors, several advantages associated with it, and regulatory requirements that facilitate the use of electronic systems are expected to foster market growth over the study period. Whereas, the data security concerns and slow adoption in developing economies are projected to hamper industry growth over the study period.
