Particle Counters Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The particle counters market is expected to register a CAGR of 9.5% over the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of comprehending respiratory virus transmission processes. The scientific community has demonstrated that short-range aerosol is an essential route of virus transmission. The challenge that particle counter manufacturers encountered was the characterization of the aerosol particles that carry the COVID-19 virus. The aerosol particles evaporate over time and, therefore, particle size changes. To avoid these challenges few companies have collaborated on particle counters. For instance, in November 2020, Particles Plus collaborated with AGS Consulting, LLC and NUMECA to develop an experimentally validated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of the flow field within a particle counter which might be helpful to face the challenges of a pandemic. Hence, with these types of collaborations the particle counter market has shown positive growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the market under study will eventually reach its full potential in industries because of vaccination campaigns and a decline in COVID-19 cases.

Manufacturing of pharmaceutical products may involve a lot of risk at contamination. One of the main types of contamination is fungus. The main cause is a lack of quality control, process management, and appropriate testing, which can result in diminished product integrity and shelf life. This can be present in the form of bioaerosols and hence requires monitoring of these facilities.

Furthermore, the technological advancements related to the product and increasing investments into research and development activities are expected to drive the market growth. For instance, in February 2020, Particle Measuring Systems developed a 20nm syringe sampler “SLS” which will be used in batch sampling with the particle counter “ Chem 20 Particle Counter”. Therefore, the above stated factors are expected to fuel the particle counter market growth during the study period.

However, the high cost of systems is expected to restrain growth in the particle counters market during the forecast period of the study.

Key Market TrendsPortable Segment is Expected to Exhibit a Significant Market Growth Over the Forecast Period

Portable particle counters provide real-time cleanroom particle counting in an easy-to-use, reliable instrument. With various advantages like spot checking, monitoring indoor air quality, and being very flexible in their usage makes the segment expects significant growth over other types.

The portable counter is expected to show a significant growth rate in the particle counter, owing to the new upcoming products and partnerships/collaborations between the companies. For instance, in May 2022, Validair formed a new company that has been appointed as a channel partner for Ireland by TSI Inc. a particle counter manufacturer and contamination control company that also deals with portable particle counters.

Furthermore, in September 2021, TSI introduced a new comprehensive solution to monitor the ultrafine particles that include the sampling of ultrafine particles as well as particle number (PN) concentration and particle size distribution (PSD) measurements.

Thus, the aforementioned factors are expected to impact positively on the portable segment which drives the market growth over the forecast period.

North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period

North America is expected to be a dominant region in the particle counters market owing to increasing investment in research and development activities related to pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals and new product approvals and launches.

According to the Pharmaceutical Researchers and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), the United States has the highest share of around 58% in terms of R&D expenditure. The entire United States biopharmaceutical invested an estimated 122 billion USD in research and development in 2020. It also stated that the biopharmaceutical industry invests on average six times more in R&D as a percentage of sales than all other manufacturing industries.

Furthermore, the new advancements under product launch help in the growth of the market. For instance, in February 2021, Phizzle launched its EDGMaker Digital Air Series, the first software solution on the market to remotely operate multi-vendor particle counters in scientific data applications such as pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Thus, in view of the aforementioned factors, the studied market is predicted to grow over the forecast period in North America.
