The worldwide market for aftermarket products and service for laboratory molecular spectroscopy was worth more than three-quarters of a billion dollars in 2005, representing quite a significant market in its own right. The aftermarket, which accounts for the majority of this market, consists largely of similar products across the varying molecular spectroscopy techniques. Demand for service is for the most part dependent upon the complexity and cost of the initial systems.
