The pipette market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The pipette market has grown steadily in recent years. It will rise from $1.67 billion in 2024 to $1.75 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%.
This growth is due to the rising demand for high-precision liquid handling in research labs, increased focus on drug development and pharmaceutical research, and the adoption of automated liquid handling systems.
The pipette market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The pipette market is expected to grow to $2.07 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 4.4%.
The market growth is due to technological advancements in pipette design, the expanding biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, growing research and development investments, and increasing focus on precision medicine. Key trends include smart and digital pipette systems, eco-friendly materials, ergonomic designs, multi-channel pipette use in genomics, and outsourcing pipette calibration.
The expansion of the pipette market is anticipated due to the escalating number of clinical trials. Clinical trials, which evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and best application of novel medical treatments or interventions on humans, are undergoing a surge. This rise can be attributed to the increased budget allocated toward pharmaceutical research and development, as well as the growing demand for new therapies and treatments. Pipettes, owing to their capability of providing exact and accurate measurement and transfer of liquids, are vital for clinical trials in order to yield reliable experimental results. For example, the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry reported in November 2023 that the UK witnessed a slight 4.3% increase in the initiation of clinical trials from 394 in 2021 to 411 in 2022. Consequently, the burgeoning numbers of clinical trials contribute to the growth of the pipette market.
