The global automated sample storage systems market size is expected to reach USD 4.11 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 12.07% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. In recent years, the application of advanced sample storage devices has increased significantly in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and chemical industries, which is fueling market growth. In addition, growing research activities for novel therapeutics development, coupled with several benefits associated with automation, are further driving industry growth.
The growing demand for biobanks for the storage of specimens is projected to support industry growth. Biobanks play a crucial role in medical research and drug discovery by storing large quantities of biological samples. Thus, automated sample storage devices have higher demand in biobanks as they ensure proper sample preservation, retrieval, and tracking, which is necessary for maintaining sample quality and integrity. As per the journal of Biopreservation and Biobanking, the UK had more than 143 active biobanks in 2022. Thus, the rising number of biobanks is likely to fuel global market growth.
Moreover, the rising demand for novel therapeutics owing to the increasing burden of chronic disorders such as cancer and autoimmune diseases is anticipated to create significant demand for automation-based liquid handlers. According to the CDC, the U.S. reported over 1.6 million new cancer cases with 602,347 deaths in 2020. Thus, the higher disease burden has created an extensive need for research activities and given significant growth momentum to the market.
Furthermore, the growing trend of automation is pushing manufacturers to introduce novel and efficient solutions into the market. In addition, the presence of a large number of market participants and various developments by them is another potential factor accelerating market uptake. For instance, in February 2023, Biosero, Inc. and AltemisLab collaborated to streamline automated sample management workflows. In addition, in February 2021, Hamilton Company announced that its Hamilton BiOS, an automated sample storage system, had been selected for the new Health Sciences Research Building-II at Emory University.
