Automated Sample Storage Systems Market Summary
The global automated sample storage systems market size was estimated at USD 1.71 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 4.11 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 12.07% from 2026 to 2033. Increasing investments in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sectors are expected to drive the global market for automated sample storage systems.
Moreover, the rising demand for automation across industries to reduce labor costs and increase process efficiency further fuels industry uptake. The growing adoption of automated sample management systems is driven by the need for increased throughput, enhanced sample integrity, and reduced human error in laboratories. These systems streamline sample handling, enhance traceability, and enable efficient integration with LIMS and laboratory automation workflows. The increasing demand in biobanking, pharmaceutical R&D, and clinical diagnostics further accelerates their adoption, supporting faster decision-making and enhanced regulatory compliance.
Growth in Biobanking and Life Science
The rapid expansion of biobanking and life sciences research is a key driver fueling demand for automated sample storage systems worldwide. With the rise of high-throughput research in genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and cell biology, research institutions and pharmaceutical companies are generating and handling vast quantities of biological samples. For instance, in February 2025, the UK Biocentre launched Azenta's automated BioArc Ultra -80 °C storage system in the UK, enhancing sample preservation, sustainability, and operational efficiency across its biobanking operations. These samples, ranging from DNA and RNA to plasma, tissue and cell cultures, require long-term preservation under strictly controlled conditions to maintain their stability and research value. Manual storage methods are increasingly inadequate for managing such scale and complexity, especially in large biobanks that may house millions of samples. Automated storage systems provide the necessary infrastructure to store, organize, and retrieve specimens with speed, precision, and minimal human error, allowing researchers to focus more on scientific discovery and less on operational logistics.
Moreover, maintaining sample integrity and traceability is critical for scientific validity and regulatory compliance. Automated systems offer superior environmental control. This ensures full traceability and minimizes the risks of contamination, mislabeling, or degradation caused by manual handling. As life sciences increasingly converge with data-intensive technologies like AI and machine learning, accessing high-quality, well-preserved biological samples at scale becomes a competitive advantage. These factors are accelerating investment in automated sample storage infrastructure across academic research centers, pharmaceutical R&D pipelines, and commercial biobanks, making it a central enabler for the next generation of biomedical innovation.
