High-Throughput Sample Preparation and Reagents Market Report 2026

The high-throughput sample preparation and reagents market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.06 billion in 2025 to $1.19 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of genomic research and molecular biology studies, increasing demand for clinical diagnostics and disease screening, expansion of pharmaceutical r&d and drug discovery activities, rising adoption of automated laboratory instruments, increasing need for efficient sample processing in academic research institutes.

The high-throughput sample preparation and reagents market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.89 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of precision medicine and personalized healthcare applications, increasing adoption of high-throughput screening in drug development, growth of biotechnology and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, rising integration of robotics and automation in laboratory workflows, increasing demand for faster diagnostic turnaround times in clinical laboratories. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of fully automated liquid handling and robotic sample processing systems in laboratories, rising demand for scalable high-throughput genomics and proteomics workflows in precision medicine, expansion of microfluidic-based sample preparation technologies for faster diagnostics, growing preference for integrated reagent kits to reduce manual intervention and improve reproducibility, increasing use of standardized consumables for automated high-volume laboratory testing workflows.

The rising prevalence of infectious diseases is expected to propel the growth of the high-throughput sample prep and reagents market going forward. Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that can spread directly or indirectly between individuals. The rising prevalence of infectious diseases is primarily driven by climate change, as increasing temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns are contributing to expanded habitats and breeding cycles of disease-carrying vectors such as mosquitoes, resulting in wider geographic transmission and longer outbreak seasons. The growing incidence of infectious diseases is supporting and propelling demand for high-throughput sample preparation and reagents, as large-scale outbreaks generate substantial diagnostic testing volumes, requiring rapid, automated processing of thousands of biological samples to ensure timely and accurate pathogen detection. For instance, in December 2025, according to the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based specialized agency, dengue reached historically high transmission levels globally in 2024, with the WHO reporting 14,434,584 total cases across all six regions, including 7,718,585 laboratory-confirmed cases, 52,738 severe cases, and 11,201 deaths. Therefore, the rising prevalence of infectious diseases is driving the growth of the high-throughput sample prep and reagents market.

Leading companies operating in the high-throughput sample prep and reagents market are focusing on advancements in automation technologies, such as flexible and integrated liquid handling platforms, to meet the rising demand for increasing laboratory efficiency. Flexible and integrated liquid handling platforms are automated systems that combine robotics, multi-channel pipetting, magnetic bead-based purification, and software-guided workflow management to perform complex sample preparation tasks with minimal manual intervention. These platforms offer higher throughput, enhanced precision, and reduced variability compared to traditional manual methods that rely on human pipetting and longer processing times. For example, in May 2025, MGI Tech Co. Ltd., a China-based life sciences and biotechnology company, launched the PrepALL Flexible Liquid Handling Platform, an innovative high-throughput sample preparation automation solution. It is designed for nucleic acid extraction, plasmid construction, library preparation, and other high-throughput tasks, enabling laboratories to scale research efficiently while reducing hands-on time and errors. Additionally, the platform supports modular expansion for both entry-level and high-throughput laboratories, enhancing flexibility across diverse life science applications.

In December 2023, PerkinElmer Incorporated, a US-based life sciences and diagnostics company, acquired Covaris for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, PerkinElmer expanded its portfolio in high-throughput sample preparation tools and reagents, strengthening its capabilities in automated laboratory workflows and precision research applications. This acquisition supports PerkinElmer’s growth in laboratory automation and high-throughput sample processing solutions. Covaris is a US-based company specializing in instruments, consumables, and reagents for sample preparation, and develops advanced sample preparation systems.
