The growth of the automated sample preparation market is anticipated to rise due to the increasing incidence of infectious diseases. These diseases, caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, can spread from person to person or through contaminated sources. Factors contributing to the surge in infectious diseases include poor sanitation, limited healthcare access, climate change, and the emergence of drug-resistant pathogens. Automated sample preparation improves the precision and efficiency of diagnosing infectious diseases by speeding up and standardizing the processing of biological samples, thus reducing human error and ensuring reliable results in large-scale testing. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported in March 2024 that tuberculosis cases increased from 8,320 in 2022 to 9,615 in 2023, an increase of 1,295 cases. The incidence rate per 100,000 people also rose from 2.5 in 2022 to 2.9 in 2023. This growing prevalence of infectious diseases is driving the demand for automated sample preparation.

Leading companies in the automated sample preparation market are focusing on developing sophisticated solutions such as fully automated sample preparation modules to improve efficiency, minimize manual errors, and enhance reproducibility in laboratory processes. These advanced systems are designed to manage all stages of sample processing with minimal human intervention. For instance, in July 2024, Shimadzu Corporation, a Japanese manufacturer of precision instruments and medical equipment, introduced the MUP-3100, a fully automated sample preparation module for glycan analysis. This system automates tasks such as reagent dispensing and sample processing using a 6-axis robot, which reduces labor, decreases procedural errors, and improves safety. The MUP-3100 can process up to 24 samples in six hours, significantly faster than traditional methods that may take over two days. This technology is especially beneficial for pharmaceutical companies and contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) working with biosimilars and antibody drugs.

In December 2023, PerkinElmer Inc., a US-based provider of analytical services and solutions, acquired Covaris for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to enhance Covaris' growth potential by leveraging PerkinElmer’s global presence and expanding its life sciences portfolio into the rapidly growing diagnostics sector, thereby boosting innovation in precision medicine and next-generation sequencing. Covaris LLC, a US-based biotechnology research company, specializes in automation sample preparation solutions.
