Pipette Tips Global Market Report 2025

Pipette tips serve as disposable, autoclavable attachments utilized alongside pipettes to facilitate the precise aspiration and dispensing of liquids. Typically crafted from plastic, they come in diverse sizes and designs, catering to different pipette models and purposes.

These tips are available in several primary types standard, filtered, low-retention, among others. Standard tips are versatile, molded with precision from pure polypropylene, and designed to securely fit various laboratory needs. They encompass both robotic and non-robotic technologies and find application across diagnostics, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, academic and educational settings, and other related fields.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.

The pipette tips market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides pipette tips market statistics, including pipette tips industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a pipette tips market share, detailed pipette tips market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the pipette tips industry. This pipette tips market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The pipette tips market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.28 billion in 2024 to $2.44 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in life sciences research, increased diagnostic testing demand, quality assurance in laboratories, advancements in biotechnology, drug discovery and development activities.

The pipette tips market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.38 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to continued expansion of life sciences, rise in point-of-care testing, increased molecular diagnostics, global response to health pandemics, stringent regulatory standards. Major trends in the forecast period include online sales and e-commerce platforms, stringent quality standards and regulations, global impact of pandemics, collaborations and partnerships, and market consolidation.

The forecast of 8.5% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through increased tariffs on ultra-pure polypropylene resins and sterile packaging materials, mainly imported from Sweden and Singapore, raising costs for laboratory consumables.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growing proliferation of healthcare settings is anticipated to drive the expansion of the pipette tips market. These settings encompass diverse healthcare facilities and services, such as hospitals, urgent care centers, rehabilitation facilities, and long-term care homes. Pipettes, crucial equipment in hospitals, enable precise transfer of liquid volumes within the microliter range, playing integral roles in various medical procedures such as DNA amplification, molecular screening, ELISA tests, and kinetic studies. As reported by The American Hospital Association in May 2023, the US witnessed a notable increase in hospital numbers from 6,093 in 2022 to 60,129 in 2023. Community hospital admissions also rose from 31,393,318 in 2022 to 31,967,073 in 2023, indicating a surge in healthcare facilities and driving demand within the pipette tips market.

The rise in healthcare expenditure is expected to drive the growth of the pipette tip market in the future. Healthcare expenditure refers to the total funds allocated for healthcare goods and services over a specific period, typically expressed as a monetary amount or a percentage of a country's gross domestic product (GDP). Increased healthcare spending leads to greater funding for medical research and development. Pipette tips are essential tools in laboratories, particularly in life sciences research, where precise and reproducible liquid handling is crucial. For example, in December 2023, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a U.S. federal agency, reported that healthcare spending in the U.S. grew by 4.1% in 2022, reaching $4.5 trillion, outpacing the 3.2% increase seen in 2021. Thus, the growth in healthcare expenditure is contributing to the expansion of the pipette tip market.

Major companies in the pipette tips market are focusing on introducing advanced products, such as large-volume pipette tips, to cater to the increasing demand for efficient and precise laboratory tools. Large-volume pipette tips are specialized tips designed to hold and transfer larger quantities of liquid, commonly used in laboratory settings for applications that require precise measurement and dispensing of larger solutions. For example, in July 2024, GenFollower Biotech CO. LTD., a China-based manufacturing firm, launched two types of 5mL large-volume pipette tips. These new tips offer exceptional compatibility with pipettes from GILSON, Rainin UNV, Eppendorf, DragonLab, LABSERV, and Sartorius. Made from medical-grade polypropylene, the tips provide high transparency for easy liquid observation. Additionally, the clear and precise graduations on the tips ensure accurate sample measurements, significantly enhancing laboratory efficiency.

Major companies in the pipette tips market are strategically investing to bolster their market positions. These strategic investments involve deliberate allocation of financial resources to achieve long-term objectives within business or organizational strategies. For instance, in February 2022, Hamilton Co secured a $128,162,524 firm-fixed-price contract to expand its pipette tip manufacturing capabilities. The aim was to establish a domestic source for pipette tips, crucial components for SARS-COV2 diagnostic testing, thereby enhancing domestic testing capacity.

In January 2023, Haier Biomedical International, a China-based company specializing in smart laboratory solutions, acquired Suzhou Kangsheng Biotechnology Co. Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables Haier Biomedical to incorporate disposable laboratory plastic consumables into its product portfolio, thereby enhancing its capabilities in smart laboratory applications. The move is anticipated to bolster Haier Biomedical's technical expertise and expand its global footprint in the life sciences sector, addressing the growing demand for innovative laboratory solutions. Suzhou Kangsheng is a China-based manufacturer that focuses on providing pipette tips and molecular consumables.
