Centrifuge Market Size & Industry Analysis
Nice — here’s a compact, citation-backed market reference for the Centrifuge Market, organized exactly to your headings and including a company table with conservative value ranges and the assumptions behind them. I treat the market in two natural segments (1) Laboratory / clinical centrifuges (benchtop, refrigerated, high-speed, ultracentrifuges, clinical blood separators) and (2) Industrial / process centrifuges (decanters, separators, disk-stack centrifuges). Where I use estimates I state the assumptions so you can reuse or change them.
Quick summary (pick a baseline): many publishers report the laboratory centrifuge market in the ~USD 1.5–1.8B (2024–2025) range, while industrial/decanter/ separator markets are larger (reports put industrial centrifuges across several billion USD — e.g., decanter market ≈ USD 2.1B (2024) and the wider industrial centrifuge space often cited in the USD 8–9B (2024–2025) neighbourhood). See sources cited below for each number.

Recent Development
-
Automation & integration into lab workflows — centrifuges increasingly sold as integrated modules in automated sample-prep lines (robotics, plate handlers) and with LIMS connectivity for high-throughput labs.
-
Growth in molecular testing / bioprocessing — expansion of R&D, cell & gene therapy manufacturing and viral-vector processing drives demand for high-capacity refrigerated and ultracentrifuges.
-
Sustainability & energy efficiency — manufacturers advertise energy-efficient refrigerated units and quieter motors as purchasing considerations.
-
Industrial demand for decanters & separators — water & wastewater, oil & gas, food & beverage and biofuel/bioprocessing growth is lifting industrial centrifuge investment.
Drivers
-
Rising diagnostic & research testing volumes (hospitals, clinical labs, biopharma R&D & manufacturing).
-
Industrial process needs — efficient solid/liquid separation in wastewater, oil & gas, food processing and chemicals.
-
Technological improvements (robust rotors, higher G, automation, IoT connectivity) increasing the utility in advanced workflows.
Restraints
-
High capital cost for high-speed and industrial units — adoption in price-sensitive settings can be slow.
-
Maintenance & skilled service requirement — rotors, bearings and seals require specialist service (esp. industrial decanters), increasing TCO.
-
Fragmentation of reporting definitions — “centrifuge market” figures vary greatly depending on whether bench, clinical, ultracentrifuge, decanter or separators are included. (That’s why published baselines vary.)
Regional segmentation analysis
-
North America — large installed base in hospitals, biopharma and research institutions; strong demand for premium lab centrifuges.
-
Europe — mature market for both lab and industrial centrifuges; strong adoption of high-specification, regulated equipment.
-
Asia-Pacific — fastest growth (China, India, Japan, South Korea) driven by expanding healthcare, diagnostics infrastructure and industrial processing capacity.
-
Latin America / MEA — patchy but growing demand tied to localized industrial projects and diagnostic capacity expansion.
Emerging Trends
-
Benchtop → connected smart units (apps, predictive maintenance) for lab workflows.
-
Single-use / disposable rotor accessories and contamination-reduction features for clinical/IVD workflows.
-
Scale-up for bioprocessing — larger refrigerated and floorstanding centrifuges used in viral-vector and biologics pipelines.
Top Use Cases
-
Clinical diagnostics & blood separation (hospitals, blood banks).
-
R&D & biotech (sample prep, cell harvest, clarification).
-
Industrial processing (dewatering, clarification, solvent recovery) — decanter centrifuges & separators.

Bundles for bioprocessing (centrifuge + analytics / process control) targeting gene-therapy & vaccine manufacturers.
-
Local manufacturing & service hubs in APAC to reduce lead time/cost and serve fast-growing markets.
-
Retrofit & upgrade services (smart sensors, energy efficiency retrofits) for aging installed bases.
Key factors of market expansion
-
Growth of diagnostics, biopharma R&D & industrial separation needs.
-
Technology (automation, connectivity) that reduces manual handling and speeds workflows.
-
Regional investments (APAC) increasing installed base and replacement cycles.
Company reference table — players with conservative value ranges (2024 baseline)
How I built these ranges: most manufacturers do not publish “centrifuge-only” revenue. I therefore (a) separated Laboratory and Industrial suppliers, (b) used public company revenue/segment data where available, (c) allocated a conservative % of relevant segment revenue to centrifuge products based on product mix as reported in vendor profiles and market reports, and (d) show the rationale so you can change assumptions. All estimates are labelled as such.
Baselines I referenced: Laboratory centrifuge market ~USD 1.5–1.8B (publisher range). Industrial/decanter/separator markets individually ~USD 2.1B (decanter) and wider industrial centrifuges often reported USD 8–9B (multiple reports). Use those when reconciling vendor shares.
Laboratory / Clinical centrifuge vendors
| Company | Estimated centrifuge-related revenue (lab/clinical) — 2024 (USD) | Basis / assumptions & source |
|---|---|---|
| Thermo Fisher Scientific | USD 120–220M (lab centrifuge & related sample prep products) (estimate) | Thermo Fisher is a large lab-equipment OEM; centrifuges are one product group within Sample Preparation & Lab Equipment. I allocate a conservative 2–4% of Thermo Fisher Life Sciences/Analytical revenues to centrifuges. See vendor lists. |
| Beckman Coulter (Danaher / Beckman brand) | USD 140–260M (estimate) | Beckman is a leading centrifuge brand (clinical & ultracentrifuge lines). Allocation: conservative 4–8% of Beckman/clinical diagnostics product revenues. |
| Eppendorf | USD 80–160M (estimate) | Eppendorf is a specialty lab centrifuge leader (benchtop and refrigerated). Allocation based on product focus and company revenue. |
| Andreas Hettich (Hettich Lab) | USD 40–90M (estimate) | Hettich is a dedicated centrifuge supplier (benchtop to high-speed), so a larger share of its lab revenue maps to centrifuges. |
| Hermle, Hitachi Koki, Kubota, NuAire, Sartorius (selected lab lines) | USD 20–120M each (ranges vary by firm) | These vendors appear repeatedly in market vendor lists for laboratory centrifuges; ranges reflect company size and product focus. |
Industrial / Process centrifuge vendors
| Company | Estimated centrifuge-related revenue (industrial) — 2024 (USD) | Basis / assumptions & source |
|---|---|---|
| Alfa Laval | USD 750M – 1.3B (centrifuge/separator & process equipment portion) | Alfa Laval is a leading global supplier of separators and decanters; its total group revenue is large and separators/decanters are a material product line — allocation 10–20% of process equipment revenue to centrifuges/separators (conservative). |
| GEA / Westfalia (GEA group brands) | USD 550M – 1.0B | GEA (which includes Westfalia separators) is a major industrial centrifuge supplier — estimate based on reported decanter/separator business share. |
| Flottweg / Pieralisi / ANDRITZ / Hiller | USD 120–420M (each band varies by firm) | These are specialist decanter and separator manufacturers; ranges reflect private status and market reports that list them as Tier-1 suppliers for specific industries. |
| Sartorius (bioprocess centrifugation offerings) | USD 40–140M (estimate) | Sartorius supplies bioprocess equipment where centrifuges/clarifiers form part of the process portfolio. Allocation is conservative. |
| Aggregate tail (regional OEMs & local converters) | USD 2.0–3.5B (aggregate) | The industrial centrifuge market is fragmented: many regional suppliers, OEMs and engineering houses serve wastewater, mining and food sectors; market reports show a significant long tail. |
Why these ranges? public filings seldom break out “centrifuge-only” sales. The table uses (a) company product positioning in vendor lists, (b) overall company/process-equipment revenue when available, and (c) conservative allocation percentages that you can adjust. If you want, I’ll run the exact math in a spreadsheet and show the formulas.
Key sources for company lists & market numbers: MarketsandMarkets, Grand View Research, Mordor, Strategic/Precedence reports and industry vendor lists (Thermo Fisher, Eppendorf, Beckman Coulter, Hettich, Alfa Laval, GEA, Flottweg, ANDRITZ, Pieralisi).
Short recommended next steps (I can do any immediately)
-
Produce a transparent vendor revenue model spreadsheet that: picks a market baseline you prefer (I can recommend a blended baseline), allocates share assumptions to each vendor, and produces low/medium/high ranges. You’ll get a downloadable table with formulas.
-
Produce a 1-page slide summarizing the market snapshot + company table with sources (good for stakeholder decks).
-
Create a competitor map separating lab vs industrial vendors and showing regional strengths (NAM / EMEA / APAC).
Which one should I build next? If you don’t pick, I’ll default to option (1) and build the vendor model using a lab baseline of USD 1.6B and industrial baseline of USD 9.0B (2024) and show all assumptions and formulas.
