The global laboratory glassware and plasticware market size reached USD 6.8 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 8.8 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.8% during 2025-2033.
Laboratory glassware and plasticware are used for scientific research purposes and include instruments such as beakers, burettes, funnels, condensers, pipettes, bottles, etc. Laboratory glassware is made of borosilicate glass, while plasticware refers to a set of equipment made from different types of plastic materials. Plasticware is flexible and easier to handle, whereas, glassware is best suited for conducting vigorous reactions and heating chemicals despite its brittle nature.
The increasing applications of glassware and plasticware for clinical use in hospitals and forensic laboratories, and for research in the field of pharmaceutical and drug discovery, veterinary science and agriculture are anticipated to be the major driver for the market growth. In addition, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases have led to the development of new drugs, in turn, spurring the global laboratory glassware and plasticware market. Moreover, a surge in biology and biotechnology research, including vaccine development, disease research and stem cell research is anticipated to propel the laboratory glassware and plasticware market across the globe.
