Biobank automation systems refer to advanced automated technologies, robotics, and digital tools developed to streamline the collection, processing, tracking, storage, and retrieval of biological samples with superior accuracy, efficiency, and security. These systems reduce manual involvement, limit errors, improve sample traceability, and enable large-scale biorepository operations through integrated software, automated storage, and high-throughput workflows.
The primary product categories that make up biobank automation systems include automated storage systems, automated sample preparation systems, automated liquid handling systems, and others. Automated storage systems refer to highly engineered, temperature-controlled robotic platforms designed to store, preserve, track, and retrieve biological samples with precision and minimal manual interaction, ensuring consistent sample integrity across extensive collections. These systems are applied in key areas such as drug discovery, regenerative medicine, biobanking, and others, and are utilized by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic and research institutions, hospitals, and other organizations.
Tariffs are impacting the biobank automation systems market by increasing costs of robotic systems, automated storage units, and control electronics. These impacts are strongest in Asia-Pacific-manufactured systems deployed in North America and Europe. While tariffs have raised capital investment costs, they have also encouraged local manufacturing, system modularization, and innovation in cost-efficient automation platforms.

The biobank automation systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.03 billion in 2025 to $2.22 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in biomedical research, increasing biobank sample volumes, need for error reduction, expansion of genomics studies, laboratory automation adoption.
The biobank automation systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.19 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to precision medicine expansion, ai-driven sample management, global biobank collaborations, regulatory compliance requirements, demand for scalable storage solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include automated sample storage, robotic sample handling, high-throughput biobanking, digital sample traceability, integrated biobank software systems.
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to propel the growth of the biobank automation systems market moving forward. Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and chronic respiratory disorders, are long-lasting conditions that generally progress slowly and require ongoing medical management. The increasing incidence of chronic diseases is largely attributed to population aging, with a growing number of people living into older age groups where conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer are more common. Biobank automation systems help manage the growing burden of chronic diseases by enabling the reliable, large-scale storage and rapid retrieval of patient biospecimens for research, biomarker discovery, and the development of targeted therapies. For example, in February 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) projected that global cancer incidence would exceed 35 million new cases by 2050, a 77% increase over the 20 million new cases reported in 2022. As a result, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is driving the biobank automation systems market.
Leading companies in the biobank automation systems market are focusing on advanced innovations, such as eco-friendly cooling systems, to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon footprints, and optimize large-scale sample storage. Eco-friendly cooling systems utilize advanced refrigeration technologies that use natural air or non-ozone-depleting refrigerants to minimize energy consumption, lower environmental impact, and support sustainable ultracold storage operations. For example, in February 2024, Azenta, Inc., a US-based life sciences company, launched the BioArc Ultra, a groundbreaking automated solution for high-density and eco-friendly ultracold sample management. BioArc Ultra enables automated, high-density ultracold sample storage and retrieval, helping biobanks maximize freezer capacity while maintaining sample integrity. The system also supports more sustainable biobanking operations through its energy-efficient design and eco-friendly refrigerants, reducing the environmental footprint of large-scale sample management. It is designed to streamline complex biorepository workflows, minimize manual handling risks, and offer secure, traceable management of critical biological samples for research and clinical applications.
In February 2023, Azenta Inc., a US-based life sciences company specializing in automated sample management and cold-chain solutions, acquired Ziath Ltd for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Azenta aims to strengthen its end-to-end sample lifecycle solutions by integrating advanced two-dimensional barcode scanning technologies that enhance accuracy, traceability, and high-throughput automation across sample registration, storage, and processing workflows for global life sciences clients. Ziath Ltd is a UK-based company specializing in advanced two-dimensional barcode readers and sample tracking technologies that support laboratory automation and biobank automation systems.
