The global laboratory disposables market size was USD 14720 million in 2021 and the market is projected to touch USD 26064 million by 2032 at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period.

They are equipment used in the lab that does not have a limited use capacity. The equipment typically is limited in its number of uses before it is disposed of. They include items such as pipettes, syringes, gloves, masks, filter paper, test tubes, plates, cuvettes, and more.

They are used for various purposes, such as sample collection, preparation, analysis, storage, and disposal. They help to prevent contamination, cross-infection, and human error that may affect the quality and validity of the test results. They also help to comply with the regulatory standards and guidelines for laboratory practices

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Increased the Market Demand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the Laboratory disposables market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the laboratory disposables market share. One of the ways that the pandemic has increased the demand for disposable items such as gloves, masks, and other personal protective equipment (PPE), as well as laboratory disposables for COVID-19 testing and diagnosis, is by creating a global shortage of these items. The unprecedented surge in the demand for these items has exceeded the supply capacity of many manufacturers and distributors, leading to a scarcity and a price hike of these items in many countries and regions. This has also resulted in a black market and a counterfeit market for these items, where some unscrupulous sellers and buyers exploit the situation and sell or buy low-quality or fake products that may pose health risks to the users. Moreover, the pandemic has also increased the demand for these items by creating a new customer segment for these items. Apart from the healthcare workers and patients, who are the primary users of these items, many other people, such as general public, travellers, students, workers, and researchers, have also started to use these items for personal protection and prevention. This has expanded the market size and scope of these items.

Latest Trends

"Adoption of Biodegradable and Eco-Friendly Materials to Fuel the Growth in the Market"

One of the recent trends in the market is the adoption of biodegradable and eco-friendly materials for manufacturing them. This trend is driven by the growing environmental awareness and the need to reduce waste generation and disposal costs. Some examples of biodegradable laboratory disposables are paper-based pipette tips, cellulose-based filter papers, and corn starch-based centrifuge tubes. These items are designed to decompose naturally after use, without causing any harm to the environment. They also help to save resources and energy that would otherwise be used for producing and disposing of plastic-based laboratory disposables.
