The global disposable specimen container market is expected to increase at a growth rate of around 5.5% to 6.5% during the forecast period. Improving technologies and innovations by emphasizing research & development activities are acting as a boon towards the growth of the disposable specimen container market.
A disposable specimen container is a type of cup or a vial that is used to hold the biological specimen while the process of collection of the biological sample during the lab testing.
These containers are made up of High-density polyethylene (HDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), or co-polymer of polypropylene (COPP), and related materials which provide product with a good impact strength and resistance to the higher temperature range.
These physical properties of the disposable specimen container prevent the biological sample or specimen from changing their biological properties and also from preventing the loss by avoiding the spilling or dissipation of the biological specimen.
They are inert and their excellent physical properties prevent the container from the attack of formaldehyde or weak acids or bases. These containers are also resistant to freezing and boiling and easy to store.
When compared with the traditional specimen container, disposable specimen container offers many advantages in terms of, increased shelf life owing to the enhanced properties of the raw material, sturdiness and re-usability, and resistance to freezing, etc.
The plastics used while the manufacturing of the disposable specimen container is very light-weight in nature, easy to carry, and easy to dispose of which leads to less pollution and thereby decrease in the carbon footprint. The enhanced container properties along with the sustainability factor are setting a trend for the growth of the disposable specimen container market.
Increasing consumer shift towards sustainable and recyclable products owing to the increasing environmental concerns like pollution, landfills, etc. is pushing manufacturers to manufacture disposable or recyclable products. Disposable specimen containers eliminate the reprocessing process of the container which ultimately results in a reduction in waste generation and pollution.
Also, the materials such as polypropylene, etc. which are used in the manufacturing of the disposable specimen container can easily disposable and recyclable. Also, the raw materials in the manufacturing of the disposable specimen container offer high flexural strength and excellent chemical resistance over the wide range of acids and alkalis.
Sourcing disposable and recycled plastics can be a challenging task for the manufacturer. Also, the production of the disposable specimen container market requires technical knowledge about the product and up-to-date technological facilities with the updated manufacturing equipment.
The high price of the disposable specimen container can be a challenging factor that can restrict the market growth.
The following global key players such as
Key Asian players manufacturing disposable specimen containers are
