Segments - Global FTIR Spectrometer Market by Type (Portable Type and Laboratory Type), By Application (Petrochemical Engineering, Pharmaceutical Industry, Food Analysis, and Others), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 - 2031
The global FTIR spectrometer market size was valued at USD 1.49 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 2.23 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. An FTIR spectroscopy is a technique used to determine the structure of individual molecules and the composition of molecular mixtures. Infrared spectroscopy is a technique that evaluates energy absorption in gas, liquid, or solid pharmaceutical samples.
Spectroscopy is widely utilized in the pharmaceutical industry to comprehend chemical processes, analyze complicated mixture components, and detect unstable compounds during the development of new drugs (NDDD). An FTIR spectroscopy is used in the polymer and plastic industry to quickly and precisely identify substances such as blends, fillers, paints, rubbers, coatings, resins, and adhesives.
Increasing Technological Advancements in FTIR Spectrometer
A Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer, or FTIR spectrometer, is a key instrument used for determining the functional groups present in samples using infrared absorbance spectra. It is a subset of the molecular spectrometer.
Rapid technological advancements in infrared (IR) spectrometer and widespread applications of FTIR spectrometer techniques in various industries are expected to drive the global market in the coming years.
Rising Demand for FTIR Spectrometer from Pharmaceutical Industry
The growth of the global FTIR spectrometer market is attributed to the increase in applications of FTIR spectrometer in the pharmaceutical and life science industries during the forecast period.
The FTIR spectrometer technology is frequently used in the medication development process to assure regulatory compliance by screening raw materials and intermediates rapidly, analyzing product formulations and validation, quality control processes, and packaging. These, in turn, are projected to propel the global FTIR Spectrometer market in the coming years.
High Cost of FTIR Spectrometer
Higher cost of FTIR spectrometer products than other alternatives has hampered their widespread use. NIR spectrometer cameras are costlier than NIR, Raman, and SWIR cameras. Indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) sensors are used in most NIR spectrometer products.
As InGaAs is a costly semiconductor material, it accounts for a significant portion of the entire cost of a SWIR camera. Glass lens supports the InGaAs sensors, which is more expensive than the lenses used in other IR goods. This raises the total cost of NIR spectrometer, making the FTIR spectrometer market highly competitive.
Availability of Used FTIR Spectrometer Devices
The average lifespan of FTIR spectrometer instruments is around 7 years. The ASP of these products has increased marginally during the last few years due to numerous technological developments. Furthermore, these devices are expensive and have been on the market for a long time. They are utilized in a variety of industries for various purposes.
Therefore, several used spectroscopic devices are currently on the market for resale, and some industry segments prefer used devices instead of new ones. This, in turn, is anticipated to hinder the market in the coming years.
