Glass Droppers Market New Growth Opportunities By 2026

Glass droppers are a short size glass tube with a rubber or plastic cap at one end and small hole at another end, for taking measured liquid from containers. Glass droppers are used for medicinal, cosmetics, personal care, home care, and chemical products. Glass dropper has the dispenser for liquid with measuring parameters. Glass dropper contains a rubber bulb which is used as a vacuum source for filling the liquid. In the market, glass droppers are available along with the bottles or vials to the end consumer due to its standard cap size as per the neck of containers.

Plastic droppers made up from PP, PE & others are accepted as the alternative for glass droppers in the market. The glass droppers used in the research centers or scientific laboratories are also called a pipette. The stringent regulations for the packaging of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and the food is expected to affect the design and cost of glass droppers.

Global Glass Droppers Market: Dynamics

The glass droppers are highly prevalent in the pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industry as compared to the other end-user sector due to the expensive products and need of small quantity dosage. Due to the use in luxury cosmetics packaging, the development of highly designed glass droppers is on the peak among the manufacturers of glass droppers. Recently, the cosmetic dropper manufacturer, Virospack SL develops a new dispenser dropper with a curved design. Along with this, the company also awarded as Best Launch of 2018 Award by CosmoProf Asia in Hong Kong for its Magnetic Dropper Design.


The pharmaceutical industry highly prefers the child-resistant closures glass droppers due to the stringent regulations applied by the Food & Drug Authorities. In addition to medicine and cosmetics, glass droppers are used for expensive liquids. Due to the cost-effectiveness and high durability, the plastic droppers are restraining the market of glass droppers. Glass droppers are accepted to be the secured for packaging medicine as it does not permit chemical conduction into the content. GCC Packaging Company introduces two new glass droppers, bulb and push bottom dropper, for regular use in beauty products. The beauty dropper provides the desired barrier to oxygen, moisture, and chemical substances.

Context Rich Systems Market – North America and Europe to Remain Leading Market

Close to only 11% of the global automated fare collection market was taken up by regional players in 2014, indicating a highly consolidated market. The top three players – NXP Semiconductors, Atos, and Omron Corporation – collectively held a share of 56% in revenue in 2014. As stated by Transparency Market Research in a new report, all top automated fare collection services and technologies providers are constantly on the cutting edge of automated fare collection technologies through continuous innovation and system development. These innovations allow the vendors to tackle the rapid increase in demand while providing safe and secure transaction methods.

Other key strategies adopted by the automated fare collection vendors include a significant scale of acquisitions and mergers to maintain and grow market value. At the same time, the players also invest heavily in improvement techniques of their own products. This includes investing in advanced bug tracking, real-time data solutions, and integrated operations.

Transport Networks Improve, Add Greater Scope for Automated Fare Collection

“All parts of the world, whether developing or developed, hold transport at a high priority when it comes to development and expansion,” states a TMR analyst. “The latest development trend in transport is the implementation of smart transport systems, which can sync perfectly with the new automated fare collection systems available in the market.”

The use of automated fare collection in smart transport is expected to improve the overall flow of traffic and help government and other agencies cut down on operation costs.


Additionally, the implementation of automated fare collection systems directly in the existing transport systems can also help substantially in reducing road congestion, which is a key cause of high fuel consumption and carbon emissions.

Organization and Integration Challenges Hinder Automated Fare Collection Vendor Growth

The implementation of automated fare collection systems involves the installation of multiple hardware and software in a transportation system. It brings out a key challenge faced by all players: the complex nature of an automated fare collection system and its integration. The various components in an automated fare collection system may make it exceedingly difficult to integrate them with a current organization, especially when it comes to switching between automatic and manual fare collection.

Foam Protective Packaging Market Is Set For A Rapid Growth By 2026

Protective packaging has gained importance for its role in eliminating the incidences of physical damages to packaged goods during shipping process. Foam materials are being widely used for offering high-level protection to the packaged goods. Foam protective packaging solutions are being developed to meet the diverse packaging needs for a range of products. Companies providing foam protective packaging solutions are focused upon fabricating their products according to the container dimensions and package sizes. Moreover, several players in the global foam protective packaging market are offering prototypes and incorporating advanced design engineering technologies to facilitate utmost levels of corner protection, shock absorption, and edge protection.

Plastifoam Company, Sonoco Products Company, Sealed Air Corporation, Pregis Corporation, Volk Packaging Corporation, DRB Packaging, Rogers Foam Corporation, Wisconsin Foam Products, Armstrong Brands, Inc., and Tucson Container Corporation are observed as global leaders in offering foam protective packaging to multiple industries. Transparency Market Research’s recently published forecast study observes that these companies will play a key role in instrumenting the growth of the global foam protective packaging market. However, the report estimates that during the forecast period, 2017-2026, the global foam protective packaging market will expand at a sluggish CAGR of 3.2%, bringing in just over US$ 5.3 Bn in global revenues by the end of 2026. The report has addressed the key factors restraining the growth of the global foam protective packaging market.

Key Restraints for Adoption of Foam Protective Packaging

While the players in the global foam protective packaging market will be compelled to divest their capital in offering prototype sampling, part production and custom fabrication, there are several key restraints beyond their control that may curb their business growth to considerable extent.

  • The use of foam materials in packaging is gradually witnessing a growing ban across several parts of the world. Ban of foam materials will ultimately cause complexities in raw material procurement for foam protective packaging companies.
  • Environmental protection agencies are coercing market players to consider recycling and reusing of foam protective packaging products. This has spiked the operating costs of companies and lowered the profit margins.
  • Catering to the diverse specifications of product packaging is a resolvable challenge, yet, entails a considerable expenditure on recalibration of production machineries and replacement of traditional protective packaging methods.
