Pipette Global Market Report 2026

A pipette is a laboratory tool used to transfer a specific volume of liquid, frequently serving as a media dispenser. Pipettes are available in different designs, such as manual and electronic, and are widely utilized in biology, chemistry, and medical labs for tasks that demand precise and accurate liquid handling.

The primary types of pipettes are air displacement pipettes and positive displacement pipettes. Air displacement pipettes are designed to measure and transfer liquids accurately by creating an air cushion between the liquid and the piston. These pipettes are widely used in research and clinical settings because of their precision. They are available in electronic and manual versions and come in various channel types, including single channel and multi-channel. They also offer adjustable or fixed volume options and are utilized in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food and beverage, forensic laboratories, and other 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.
