Raman Spectroscopy Market by Type (Benchtop, Portable), Instrument (Microscopy, FT, Handheld & Portable), Sampling Technique (Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering, Tip-enhanced Raman Scattering), Application and Region- Global Forecast to 2028

Raman Spectroscopy Market by Type (Benchtop, Portable), Instrument (Microscopy, FT, Handheld & Portable), Sampling Technique (Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering, Tip-enhanced Raman Scattering), Application and Region- Global Forecast to 2028

The Raman spectroscopy market is projected to reach USD 1.1 billion by 2028 from USD 0.8 billion in 2023, at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2023 to 2028.

In 2022, the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) segment held the largest share of the Raman spectroscopy market, and a similar trend is likely to be observed during the forecast period. Continuous technological development of nanotechnology and extensive theoretical and experimental research has significantly broadened the scope of surface-enhanced Raman scattering and increased its demand in pharmaceutical, life science, and materials science research. Also, the SERS sampling technique can be used to amplify weak Raman signals, especially when signals using visible light excitation and a low number of scattered photons are available for detection. Hence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering finds its application in drug delivery, detection of trace amounts of chemical and biological threat agents, Point-of-care (POC) medical diagnostic devices, and forensic field testing.

Handheld & Portable Raman instrument is expected to account for the largest market share in Raman spectroscopy hardware market during the forecast period

The handheld & portable Raman segment is projected to record the largest share of the market during the forecast period. Handheld & portable Raman spectroscopy has the ability to offer a simple point-and-shoot format and fully portable testing with an ergonomic design. So, it enables rapid responses for unknown characterization against integrated digital libraries and pre-existing method data. In addition, low-skilled personnel can easily carry out these spectroscopies to acquire the molecular fingerprint of raw materials for pharmaceutical, life science, and materials science applications.

The major advantages of handheld and portable Raman instruments include the ability to perform in-field measurements of robust design as well as usual sample handling. However, the spectra of handheld and portable Raman devices are sometimes less reproducible, less accurate, and are affected by noise, which can be considered as a significant drawback, especially in pharmaceutical applications. Handheld and portable Raman instruments are used for the analysis of pharmaceutical, life science, agriculture, drugs, explosives, and mineral samples.

North America is accounted for the second highest market share in 2022

The region is an early adopter of new and advanced technologies. The market growth in this region can be attributed to the presence of many Raman spectroscopy manufacturers in the US. Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Agilent Technologies, Inc., Bruker, and Mettler Toledo are among the few leading manufacturers offering Raman spectroscopy in the US. These players spend extensively on research and development (R&D) activities to provide innovative offerings in this market. For instance, in 2021, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. invested nearly USD 1.4 billion in R&D, whereas in the same year, Agilent Technologies, Inc. introduced the new Agilent Vaya Raman raw material identity verification system. This handheld instrument accelerates quality control testing in the pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceutical industries.
