Global Pipette Calibrators Market Dynamics

DRIVER: Expansion of pharmaceutical & biotechnology industries

Globally, the pharmaceutical & biotechnology industries are growing at a substantial rate. These industries are responsible for the research, development, production, and distribution of medications. According to World Pharma Today (2023), by 2023 it is anticipated that the pharmaceutical sector is expected to reach USD 1.5 trillion and has grown quickly in past years. Research and development and innovative treatments for patients will be the key driving factors.

In pharmaceutical & biotechnology industries pipettes are extensively used to perform numerous research activities, such as high-throughput screening, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) screening, sample distribution, and target validation due to which there will be time to time requirement for the calibration of pipettes. A growth in these industries will augment the growth of the market.

RESTRAINT: High pricing of pipette calibration systems

The capital investment is growing significantly due to the premium pricing of pipette calibration systems. For instance, liquid handling pipetting robots may cost USD 1,000 to USD 1,500. Moreover, budget availability and significant investment are required for pipette calibration systems as the prices of these systems vary between USD 20,000 and USD 150,000. For example, Automatic Device for Multichannel Pipette Calibration by RADWAG costs USD 52,130 and the SpeedCal (12 Channels) pipette calibration system by Sartorius costs USD 131,930. Due to budgetary limitations many hospitals and laboratories may not be able to afford these systems.

OPPORTUNITY: Growing genomics and proteomics research

Ranging from disease diagnosis to biomarker discovery, genomics and proteomics processes find applications in various areas. As the laboratories are considering liquid handling automation to make sequencing workflows more efficient and cost-effective, the rising focus on NGS has prompted its adoption in genomics research due to which many government agencies and companies are focusing on meeting end-user needs in the area.

CHALLENGE: Rise in pipette calibration services

Typically the pipette requires calibration service on an average of at least once a year and most biotech companies do semi-annual calibration. It is strongly recommended and, in many cases, required that each pipette be serviced by an ISO 17025:2005 accredited laboratory. As pipette manufacturers continued their pursuit of pipette sales revenues, they also offered calibration services, but again with lengthy turnaround times due to which there is a rise in independent traveling pipette service providers, offering the ultra-convenience of onsite measurement and maintenance services.
