The total market for NIR was measured at about $470 million in 2019 and is expected to reach over $570 million by 2024.

Nowadays, Raman spectroscopy can be applied to many fields where non-destructive chemical analysis and microscopic imaging needs to be provided rapidly. It can analyze many states of matter such as solid, liquid, gases, and even gels and slurries. It is used in a variety of applications such as pharmaceutical, cosmetic, material, semiconductor, and life science industries and research.

Industrial mass spectrometers are grouped into three product categories: leak detectors, residual gas analyzers (RGAs), and process mass spectrometers.

Mass spectrometry, molecular and atomic spectroscopy technologies combine to represent more than a fifth of the overall market for laboratory analytical instrumentation. These techniques are perhaps the most broadly used instruments, with utility in pharmaceuticals and other life sciences, chemicals, environmental, food, clinical/Dx and other applications.

The advancements of battery and computing technologies have enabled analytical instruments to have smaller form factors that take them beyond portableand into the realm of being handheld.

Metabolomics is one of the newer “omics” fields, and focuses on the characterization of the small molecule metabolites in biological systems. Metabolomics research has the potential to shed light on certain disease states, monitor patient response to treatment, and contribute to drug target discovery. Applications also span pharmaceutical development and neuroscience research.

Measuring moisture at high or trace amounts in is an important parameter of many manufacturing processes including commercial food production, pharmaceutical, and chemical manufacturing or other industrialized fabrication setting.

The market for elemental analyzers embodies three technology categories, consisting of inorganic analyzers, organic analyzers, and total organic carbon and total nitrogen (TOC–TN) instruments.

Nondispersive infrared photometers are relatively simple instruments used to detect gases.

Over the past decade, benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance instruments have been used in the petroleum and petrochemical industries for process control applications.

The use of photodiode-array (PDA) ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectrophotometers is mainly adopted in industrial applications such as pharmaceutical and chemical production, coatings, or food and agriculture processing.
