Automated compounding devices are specialized pieces of equipment designed to automate the preparation of medications, including intravenous (IV) solutions, in healthcare settings. These devices ensure precise and efficient compounding, thereby enhancing patient safety and minimizing the risk of human error in medication preparation.
The main components of automated compounding devices include equipment and software. The equipment encompasses the physical parts of the devices used for automated medication preparation, such as robotic arms, dispensing units, and mixing chambers, which are crucial for the mechanical and physical operations that automate the compounding process, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. Product types are categorized into intravenous compounding systems, oral compounding systems, and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) compounding systems. The mode of operation includes fully automated and semi-automated compounding systems. End-users of these devices include hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and other healthcare facilities.
Tariffs are influencing the automated compounding devices market by increasing the cost of precision pumps, electromechanical dispensing units, stainless-steel components, and electronic control modules sourced across international supply chains, leading to higher capital and maintenance costs for hospitals and ambulatory centers. The most affected segments include fully automated and tpn compounding systems in regions dependent on imported hardware assemblies, particularly in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia-Pacific. However, tariffs are also encouraging localized manufacturing, supplier diversification, and regional software-hardware integration initiatives, which may help reduce long-term dependency on foreign component sourcing.
The automated compounding devices market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides automated compounding devices market statistics, including automated compounding devices industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a automated compounding devices market share, detailed automated compounding devices market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the automated compounding devices industry. This automated compounding devices 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 automated compounding devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.51 billion in 2025 to $2.69 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing hospital pharmacy workload, rising demand for sterile iv preparation, early adoption of tpn compounding automation, hospital initiatives to reduce compounding errors, expansion of inpatient medication therapy volumes.
The automated compounding devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.53 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing emphasis on medication safety compliance, rising investments in automated pharmacy technology, increasing outsourcing of sterile compounding services, expansion of oncology and critical care drug compounding, growing integration of digital workflow and reporting systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of automated compounding devices to reduce manual medication preparation errors in hospital and pharmacy settings, rising demand for high-precision compounding of iv formulations, oncology drugs, and tpn solutions, growing shift toward centralized and large-volume sterile compounding facilities in healthcare systems, expanding use of automated workflow validation and barcode-based verification in compounding processes, increasing preference for compact, modular, and upgradeable automated compounding platforms for pharmacy operations.
The growing prevalence of personalized medicines is expected to drive the expansion of the automated compounding devices market in the future. Personalized medicine involves tailoring healthcare decisions, practices, interventions, and treatments to the unique characteristics of each patient. This increase in personalized medicines is attributed to advances in genetics, patient-specific data, and regulatory support. Automated compounding devices (ACDs) are vital in personalized medicine, as they enable the precise and accurate preparation of custom medication formulations tailored to individual patient needs. These devices automate the process of mixing various pharmaceutical ingredients in exact proportions, which is essential for creating personalized treatments. For example, in February 2024, according to the Personalized Medicine Coalition, a US-based non-profit organization, reported that the FDA approved 16 new personalized therapies for rare diseases in 2023, up from six in 2022. Thus, the rise in personalized medicines is fueling the growth of the automated compounding devices market.
Major companies operating in the automated compounding devices market are emphasizing technological advancement through AI-powered robotic compounding solutions, including AI-enabled IV compounding platform systems that leverage artificial intelligence, gravimetric verification, and cloud-based monitoring to automate sterile admixture preparation with high accuracy, real-time quality validation, and continuous supervision. For example, in August 2025, Omnicell, a U.S.-based health technology company, introduced an AI-driven upgrade to its IV compounding system aimed at enhancing safety and precision in medication preparation. The enhanced system incorporates sophisticated AI-based quality assurance capabilities that continuously oversee compounding processes and automatically identify and flag deviations from standard procedures. Through this advanced level of automated monitoring, Omnicell seeks to minimize human error, optimize workflow efficiency, and uphold elevated standards of medication quality within pharmacy operations.
In October 2024, Biovalley Investments & Partners S.p.A. (BIP), an Italy-based healthcare-focused industrial investment and pharma-automation company, entered into a partnership with Engmotion d.o.o. to jointly develop and industrialize the ChemoMaker automated IV chemotherapy compounding system. Through this collaboration, Biovalley and Engmotion seek to introduce a compact, hospital-ready hazardous IV compounding solution that automates the preparation of patient-specific chemotherapy doses within existing laminar flow hoods, enhancing accuracy, sterility, operator safety, and drug utilization while providing a more accessible alternative to large, high-cost IV robotic compounding systems. Engmotion d.o.o. is a Slovenia-based company specializing in high-precision automated filling and compounding systems for syringes, vials, cytostatics, and antibiotics used in medical and pharmaceutical applications.
