New zone

Lab & Analytical Equipment

Lab & analytical equipment suppliers already play a critical role in pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. Yet many still exhibit at general laboratory events, where pharma buyers compete for attention alongside academia, food testing and chemical industries. 

The new Lab & Analytical Equipment zone at CPHI Frankfurt 2027 creates a dedicated pharma-focused destination for chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, lab automation, LIMS and QC testing technologies. Designed for the R&D, QA/QC and process development teams driving laboratory investment, it brings laboratory innovation directly to the heart of pharma.

  • A $50–60B market underpinning the future of pharmaceutical laboratories

  • AI, automation and digital lab technologies are driving towards smarter, integrated labs

  • Pharma accounts for 20–30% of total lab-equipment demand

Is the Lab & Analytical Equipment zone for you?

Whether you develop analytical instruments, automation systems, informatics platforms or QC technologies, this zone connects the companies enabling the next generation of pharmaceutical laboratories.

Analytical instruments

Chromatography, mass spectrometry and spectroscopy for method development and QC release.

Lab automation & informatics

Why exhibit in the Lab & Analytical Equipment zone?

  • Pharma-only room

    Every buyer on the floor is pharma R&D, QC or process development, with no academics, food labs or chemicals to filter out.

  • Prime placement

    Positioned beside the Machinery zone, so operations and process-development buyers cross straight in while sourcing lines.

  • Founding position

    First edition lets you own the lab category at Europe's largest pharmaceutical event before any competitor claims it first.

  • Timely investment

    Tighter FDA and EMA data-integrity rules and the shift to automated, connected labs are pulling pharma lab budgets forward.

FAQs

A new, dedicated zone at CPHI Frankfurt 2027 for analytical instrument, lab automation, QC testing and lab consumables suppliers, in front of pharma R&D, QC and process-development buyers only, with no academics, food labs or chemicals in the room.

Chromatography, mass spectrometry and spectroscopy; lab automation and robotic sample handling; LIMS and data-integrity systems; QC and release testing; sample preparation; and core lab infrastructure such as balances, centrifuges and stability chambers, plus consumables.

The zone launches with roughly fifteen exhibitors in an approx. 250 sqm space. First-time exhibitors can book 9 sqm MSD stands; other exhibitors take a minimum of 12 sqm with dynamic pricing that rewards early booking.

Senior pharma lab buyers: R&D scientists, analytical chemists and method-development specialists, QC analysts through QC directors, lab and lab-operations managers, formulation and development scientists, CMC leads, CDMO analytical-development managers, and biotech founders and CSOs.

The Lab & Analytical Equipment zone will be located next to the Machinery zone, placing exhibitors close to pharma audiences already sourcing equipment, automation and process technologies. 

This position creates a natural connection between laboratory innovation, QA/QC, process development and manufacturing decision-makers.

Dedicated lab equipment events often attract a broad scientific audience across academia, food testing, chemicals and wider industrial markets. The Lab & Analytical Equipment zone at CPHI Frankfurt 2027 is different: it is built for suppliers looking to connect with pharma R&D, QA/QC, process development and manufacturing teams evaluating laboratory technologies for regulated pharmaceutical environments.

A speaking slot helps build visibility and credibility before buyers visit your stand. By presenting on topics such as lab automation, data integrity, QC modernization or analytical innovation, exhibitors can create awareness, start relevant conversations and turn session interest into stand engagement.
