GRADUATED CYLINDER MARKET OVERVIEW

The global graduated cylinder market stood at approximately USD 0.6 billion in 2024 and is expected to rise to USD 0.65 billion in 2025, maintaining a strong growth trajectory to reach USD 1.1 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 8.92% from 2025 to 2033.

A graduated cylinder is a scientific laboratory instrument used to measure the volume of liquids. It is a small, cylinder-shaped container made of glass or plastic that has a pouring spout and a scale marked along the side to show how much liquid is inside. The cylinder is made to enable accurate measurement of liquid volumes, and the scale markings are commonly in milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cc). These cylinders are commonly used in chemistry, biology, and physics studies as well as in a variety of medical and commercial situations. They are available in a variety of diameters.

Opportunities in the graduated valve industry are being created by the trend of serving wine and other beverages in these cylinders as well as by the growing demand for graduates in the pharmaceutical and manufacturing sectors. Furthermore, due to ongoing advancements and discoveries in measuring cylinders, the research and development sector in the manufacturing business is growing. The cylinders have significant applications at institutions as well, assisting students in completing precise and accurate practicals.

COVID-19  IMPACT

Supply Chain Disruptions Caused Delays in the Availability of Laboratory Materials

Due to supply chain, manufacturing, and distribution disruptions brought on by the pandemic, there were shortages and delays in the availability of laboratory materials and equipment. The need for laboratory equipment decreased as a result of numerous research organizations and laboratories being forced to shut down or scale back their operations due to safety issues and lockdown procedures. In addition, budget cuts and decreased funding for research organizations and labs had been brought on by the pandemic's economic effects, which resulted in a decline in the demand for pricey laboratory supplies such as graduated cylinders.

LATEST TRENDS

Creation of Robotic Cylinders for Laboratory Usage to Boost Productivity

The market for cylinders has seen a number of recent advancements that aim to increase their accuracy, precision, and usability. Robotic graduated cylinders that measure liquids automatically have been created by some businesses. These instruments can carry out measurements with speed and accuracy, and they can be included into automation systems for laboratories to increase productivity.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increased Demand for Scientific Research and Development are Growing the Cylinder Industry

Gradually cylinders are becoming more and more in demand as the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) continue to develop. In a variety of scientific studies and research endeavors, these cylinders are crucial equipment. They are an essential piece of equipment in several disciplines, such as physics, biology, and chemistry, since they are used to precisely measure and dispense liquids. Graduated tubes and other laboratory supplies are in higher demand as there is a greater demand for scientific research and development.

Advancements in Materials and Design are Making Cylinders More Simple Adaptable to Use

Manufacturers of graduated cylinders are constantly looking for new ways to make their goods better. For instance, plastic graded cylinders are becoming more and more popular due to their lightweight, robustness, and affordability. Cylinders with particular designs, such as broad bases that offer more stability or narrow necks that permit more accurate measurements, have also been introduced by some manufacturers. Graduated tubes now have a wider variety of uses and are more adaptable and simple to use owing to these developments in materials and design. They have consequently contributed to increasing demand for graded cylinders in both developed and developing markets.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Growing Use of Automated Liquid Handling Systems is Limiting the Growth of the Cylinder Market

The growing use of automated liquid handling systems is one issue limiting the growth of the graduated cylinder market growth. Automated liquid handling systems are cutting-edge devices that automatically conduct operations involving liquid handling, such as dispensing and mixing liquids, using robots and software. Compared to manually handling liquids with cylinders, these systems are quicker, more accurate, and less prone to mistakes. On account of this, there is a decrease in the need for manual instruments such as the cylinders as many laboratories switch to automated liquid handling systems. The market for graduates is significantly constrained by the introduction of automated liquid handling systems since it reduces the size of the possible market and may result in lower sales.
