Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique used to measure known materials, to identify unknown compounds within a sample, and to evaluate the structure and chemical properties of different molecules. The technique ionizes chemical species and sorts the ions, based on their Mass-to-charge ratio. Because of the high sensitivity of these techniques, mass spectroscopy has become a powerful analytical tool for testing in various industries.
The key factors which include the growth of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry and technological advancements in mass spectrometry are driving the growth of the global Mass Spectrometry Market during the forecast period. The growing use of mass spectrometry in emerging markets and the rising potential for the application of high-resolution mass spectrometry in healthcare are the key areas of opportunity in this market.
The mass spectrometry market is expected to reach USD 5.27 Billion by 2022 from an estimated USD 3.68 Billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 7.4%.
The pharmaceutical application industry held the largest market share:
Based on application, the mass spectrometry market is further segmented into pharmaceutical application, biotech application, environmental testing, food and beverage testing, petrochemical applications, and other applications.
