Sample Preparation Global Market Report 2026

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.

Tariffs are influencing the sample preparation market by increasing costs of imported automated workstations, extraction systems, reagents, plastic consumables, and precision liquid handling components. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported lab equipment, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on consumables sourcing. These tariffs are increasing operational costs and delaying laboratory upgrades. At the same time, they are supporting domestic consumable manufacturing, regional equipment assembly, and development of cost-optimized sample preparation solutions.

Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of automated sample preparation workflows, rising demand for high-purity sample processing, growing use of integrated extraction systems, expansion of standardized preparation kits, enhanced focus on sample integrity and reproducibility.

The rising level of healthcare expenditure is anticipated to accelerate the expansion of the sample preparation market in the coming years. Growth in healthcare spending supports increased activity in medical research, clinical diagnostics, biomedical investigations, drug development, and innovation in medical devices. This upward trend in expenditure is largely driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, as a growing patient population requires long-term therapies and ongoing medical management, steadily driving up overall costs. Sample preparation contributes to cost containment by enabling quicker and more precise diagnostic processes, reducing the need for repeat testing, lowering laboratory operating expenses, and facilitating timely clinical decision-making for patient care. For example, in June 2025, Centres for Medicare & Medicaid Services reported that total healthcare spending in 2023 increased by 7.5% to USD 4.9 trillion, or USD 14,570 per capita, representing 17.6% of the Gross Domestic Product. Therefore, rising healthcare expenditure continues to be a key factor driving growth in the sample preparation market.

Major companies operating in the sample preparation market are focusing on the development of advanced fusion sample preparation systems to strengthen their competitive positioning.
