Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
One of the key factors driving the dropper market growth is the increasing prominence of private-label brands. There is an increasing focus on private-label droppers by retailers across the world. Several market players are selling various types of droppers under their private-label brands in order to increase their profitability. In addition, several market players across the world are introducing their own brands of droppers.
Moreover, some of the main types of droppers launched by market players include plastic and glass droppers catering to various consumer demands. There is an increasing adoption of private-label products among consumers as they are priced lower than branded products. Hence, such factors are expected to positively impact the market which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the dropper market growth is the growing prominence of online shopping. There is an increase in sales of homecare products including droppers due to the emergence of the online distribution of products. The main advantage of the online channels is that they offer a wide variety of dropper products from different brands catering to a broad range of customer segments.
Moreover, there is an increasing adoption of online channels for purchasing droppers as these platforms provide personalized shopping assistance and suggestions on products based on the application. In addition, the e-commerce platforms enable consumers to collect information and compare different droppers online. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Increasing waste generation and emissions is one of the key challenges hindering the dropper market growth. There is an increasing preference for healthcare, pharmaceutical, and medical labs and facilities to change their equipment at frequent intervals to prevent cross-contamination. In addition, droppers are preferred to be used once and are disposed of by some end-users.
Moreover, there is a limit to the reuse of droppers by consumers in the cosmetics and home care industries. As a result, the waste generated by the disposal of droppers is in huge volumes and improper disposal can result in contamination. Hence, such factors can negatively impact the market which in turn will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
The healthcare segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. One of the main factors that are significantly fuelling the growth of the healthcare segment is the growth in drug development activity and the consequent demand for accurate and precise dispensing equipment. The droppers that are extensively used for medical labs are generally known as medical droppers and are manufactured of plastic or glass with a rubber handle that helps in the suction of liquids out of the container.

The healthcare segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 130.91 million in 2017. Some of the commonly used droppers have a capacity of 1-2 ml. As a result, they are widely adopted for administering vaccinations and other medicines to infants, small children, and newborns who do not require large doses. Another significant application of droppers includes adding medicine drops to the eyes and ears which enable control over the amount of liquid that is released at a time. Furthermore, there is an increasing adoption of droppers by scientists in laboratories to transfer liquids from one container to another and to mix liquids into solutions or onto surfaces in small quantities. Hence, such applications are expected to fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Based on material, the segment is classified into glass, plastic, rubber, polystyrene, and others. There is an increasing adoption of droppers which are manufactured using glass by several end-users due to their unique properties. Some of the key end-users where there is increasing demand for glass packaging include F&B, luxury cosmetic products, pharmaceutical, healthcare, and personal care products industries. In addition, there is a growing acceptance of glass across various industries as it has the US FDA status of Generally Recognized as Safe. As a result, there is a significant demand for glass droppers. Furthermore, there is a growing inclination towards environmentally friendly materials across various industries which is significantly contributing to the growth of this segment. Therefore such factors will fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
