Automated sample storage systems are advanced laboratory equipment designed to store and manage biological, chemical, or other samples under precise environmental conditions. These systems use automation to handle, organize, and retrieve samples accurately, ensuring optimal preservation while minimizing contamination or degradation risks.
The primary types of automated sample storage systems include liquid nitrogen storage systems, mechanical freezers, and automated cryogenic storage. Liquid nitrogen storage systems maintain samples at extremely low temperatures, below -180°C, for long-term stability. These systems feature technologies such as robotics, liquid handling modules, temperature monitoring, and cloud-based storage management. They accommodate various samples, including blood, tissue, cellular, and DNA/RNA samples, and are widely used in applications such as biobanking, pharmaceuticals, clinical research, and genomics. Key end users include hospitals, neurological clinics, rehabilitation centers, sports medicine clinics, and other healthcare and research facilities.
Tariffs are impacting the automated sample storage systems market by increasing the cost of imported robotics, ultra-low temperature freezers, and liquid nitrogen storage equipment. Segments such as automated cryogenic storage and mechanical freezers are most impacted, particularly in Asia-Pacific regions including China and India, which serve as major manufacturing hubs. The tariffs have raised production costs and slowed equipment deployment, but they also encourage domestic manufacturing, localization of supply chains, and innovation in energy-efficient storage solutions.

This automated sample storage systems 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 sample storage systems market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.76 billion in 2025 to $1.95 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to reliance on manual sample storage systems, limited automation in sample management, growth of hospital and clinical research labs, increasing biological sample volumes, conventional temperature monitoring practices.
The automated sample storage systems market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.95 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in robotic sample retrieval, rising investment in cloud-based storage solutions, growing genomics and pharmaceutical research, adoption of integrated cryo-inventory management systems, development of energy-efficient and scalable storage units. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of automated cryogenic storage solutions, rising demand for ultra-low temperature freezers, integration of rfid and barcode sample tracking systems, expansion of biobanking and clinical research applications, focus on energy-efficient and high-capacity storage systems.
The growing focus on personalized medicine is expected to drive the expansion of the automated sample storage systems market in the coming years. Personalized medicine is a healthcare approach that customizes treatment and care based on individual patient characteristics, including genetic profile, lifestyle, and environmental factors, to enhance health outcomes. The adoption of personalized medicine is increasing due to advances in genetic testing, which allow for more accurate and customized therapies tailored to an individual's genetic makeup. Automated sample storage systems support personalized medicine by securely storing and managing biological samples, enabling efficient retrieval and analysis for patient-specific treatment planning. For example, in February 2024, the Personalized Medicine Coalition, a US-based non-profit organization, reported that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved 16 new personalized therapies for patients with rare diseases in 2023, up from six in 2022. Consequently, the increasing emphasis on personalized medicine is fueling the growth of the automated sample storage systems services market.
Key companies in the automated sample storage systems market are developing advanced ultracold technologies to improve biobanking efficiency, sample integrity, and sustainability. Ultracold automated technology maintains biological samples at ultra-low temperatures with high precision, reducing manual handling and ensuring long-term stability. For example, in July 2023, Azenta Life Sciences, a US-based biotechnology company, launched BioArc Ultra, an eco-friendly ultracold automated storage system capable of managing up to 10 million 2D-barcoded tubes at -80°C. The system features modular architecture for scalability, redundant cooling and power systems for reliability, and an energy-efficient design to minimize environmental impact while maximizing sample integrity.
In February 2023, Azenta Inc., a U.S.-based life sciences technology company, acquired Ziath Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Azenta seeks to enhance its high-throughput laboratory automation solutions by incorporating advanced 2D barcode scanning into its sample management processes. Ziath Ltd., a UK-based instrumentation and technology company, specializes in providing 2D barcode readers for life sciences applications, supporting workflows in pharmaceutical, biotech, and academic laboratories.
