Carbon-13 Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Purity (98%-99% and ＞99%), Application, End User, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America) – Market Forecast, 2024 - 2032

The global carbon-13 market size is expected to reach USD 125.72 million by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Carbon-13 Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Purity (98%-99% and ＞99%); Application; End-user; and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America) – Market Forecast, 2024 - 2032.” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The primary driver of the carbon-13 market is the expanding use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, where Carbon-13 is essential for the detailed analysis of molecular structures. NMR spectroscopy relies on the magnetic properties of nuclei, and Carbon-13, with its nuclear spin properties, is particularly useful for providing detailed information about the structure, dynamics, reaction state, and chemical environment of molecules.

In addition to NMR spectroscopy, the healthcare sector is a major growth area for carbon-13. The isotope is increasingly used in non-invasive diagnostic procedures, such as breath tests, which are employed to diagnose various gastrointestinal disorders, including infections by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which is linked to peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer.

Technological advancements in production processes are expected to reduce costs over time, making carbon-13 more accessible to a broader range of users. Innovations in isotope separation techniques, as well as scaling up production capacities, may help alleviate some of the supply chain constraints and reduce the overall cost of carbon-13, thus expanding its market potential. Additionally, the expanding middle class and increasing healthcare spending are likely to boost the demand for advanced diagnostic tools, including those utilizing Carbon-13.
