Sample Preparation Global Market Report 2025

Sample preparation is a technique employed to convert biological and chemical products into a format suitable for direct analysis in analytical instruments.

Various types of products are utilized in sample preparation, including sample preparation instruments, consumables, and sample preparation kits. The sample preparation instrument market encompasses extraction systems, workstations, automated evaporation systems, liquid handling instruments, and other devices designed for sample preparation. This technique finds applications in proteomics, genomics, epigenomics, and other analytical fields. Sample preparation is widely implemented across diverse sectors such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and other related industries.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.

This sample preparation market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The sample preparation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.13 billion in 2024 to $9.64 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to life sciences research and diagnostics, drug discovery and development, clinical and molecular diagnostics, academic and government funding, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry growth.

The sample preparation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.71 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to high-throughput sample preparation automation, sample preparation for single-cell analysis, liquid biopsy sample preparation, point-of-care and at-home testing, emerging markets and research initiatives, ai-driven sample preparation protocols. Major trends in the forecast period include miniaturized and portable sample preparation devices, sample preparation for crispr-based gene editing, sample preparation for metagenomics and microbiome studies, sustainable and green sample preparation materials, 3D-printed sample preparation devices, digital sample tracking and data management.

The forecast of 9.2% growth over the next five years indicates a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through increased tariffs on automated liquid handling workstations and nucleic acid extraction kits, predominantly supplied by France and Canada, raising costs for laboratory testing workflows.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The anticipated increase in research and development (R&D) spending in the pharmaceutical sector is poised to propel the growth of the sample preparation market in the foreseeable future. Despite the use of highly efficient analytical instruments in pharmaceutical analyses, the majority of procedures require sample preparation to extract and isolate the analytes of interest from complex matrices. This is essential because many analytical instruments cannot directly handle these matrices. Advancements in sample preparation are crucial in pharmaceutical analysis, aiming to isolate and purify analytes from intricate matrices. According to the National Centre for Biotechnology Information, pharmaceutical spending in the US increased by 7.7% in 2021, reaching $576.9 billion. Projections for 2022 forecast a 4.0% to 6.0% increase in overall prescription drug spending, 7.0% to 9.0% in clinics, and 3.0% to 5.0% in hospitals. Consequently, the upsurge in R&D spending in pharmaceuticals is a driving force behind the growth of the sample preparation market.

The rising healthcare expenditure is expected to drive the growth of the sample preparation market in the future. Increased healthcare spending enhances medical research, clinical diagnostics, biomedical studies, drug discovery, and innovations in medical devices. This growing expenditure supports the need for high-quality samples in areas such as disease monitoring, regulatory compliance, and public health initiatives, leading to a higher demand for efficient sample preparation solutions. For instance, in 2022, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based national statistics organization, reported that UK healthcare expenditure reached approximately $354.88 billion (£283 billion), reflecting a nominal 0.7% increase compared to 2021. Thus, the rising healthcare expenditure is fueling the growth of the sample preparation market.

Companies in the sample preparation industry are increasingly introducing automated sample preparation systems. These systems leverage robotics to handle liquids such as reagents and specimen samples, streamlining the preparation of samples for analysis and testing. Integrated with software and spectrometric instruments, these automated systems enhance efficiency, accuracy, and reliability in sample preparation. For example, Tecan Group Ltd. launched Resolvex Prep in October 2023, a benchtop automation solution designed for chromatography sample preparation. Tailored for chromatography workflows, particularly LC-MS sample prep, Resolvex Prep enhances efficiency and flexibility for medium-throughput laboratories, utilizing direct displacement pipetting to mitigate solvent hazards and processing sealed sample tubes to prevent evaporation.

Major companies operating in the sample preparation market are focusing on the development of new fusion sample preparation systems to gain a competitive advantage. These advanced laboratory tools automate and optimize the process of combining and preparing samples for analytical or scientific purposes, ensuring streamlined workflows and accuracy. Malvern Panalytical launched FORJ in April 2023, a fusion sample preparation system for elemental analysis. FORJ stands out with reduced thermal stress, stable heating, enhanced operator accessibility, flexibility with options like a mold sensor and sample reloading, and a substantial productivity boost of up to 25%. Designed for seamless integration into labs, FORJ(TM) offers remote control capabilities, setting a new standard in elemental analysis.
