Industrial Market Opportunities for Analytical Instrumentation

Industrial Market Opportunities for Analytical Instrumentation

The industrial sector represents a large portion of the worldwide analytical instrumentation marketplace. This sector is composed of key manufacturing areas, resource extraction industries, and cutting-edge research in materials science. Since the global pandemic, a number of shifts in this market have taken place, ranging from changes in manufacturing locations, increasing importance of renewable energy technologies, escalating international tensions over intellectual properties, domestic security, and macroeconomic challenges both old and new. This report analyzes this sector’s demand for analytical instrumentation, and how its responses to these challenges will shape the future of these industries and technologies.

The use of analytical instruments in the industrial sector starts with resource extraction. Oil & gas, metals & mining, and energy surveying all rely on measurements of economic feasibility and size of resource deposits at extraction sites, quality of materials being extracted, regulatory compliance, and quality assurance throughout the process. The quality of these materials are monitored as they are transported to other industries. Next, industries such as chemicals, polymers and semiconductors & nanotechnology create materials and components through the combination of raw and refined materials. Here, analytical instruments are used in a host of ways, like electron microscopes to analyze semiconductor surfaces, gas chromatography instruments that monitor separation of key chemical components, or devices like inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers (ICP-MS) to measure metal contaminants. Other industries take components, raw, and refined materials to make complex technologies such as the aerospace and automotive industries or the electronic industries. Even here, analytical technologies are used heavily, such as physical testing for measuring safety of car frames or simple microscopes for examining circuit boards. In so many ways, understanding the market dynamics of the industries using these technologies will provide a high level of insight into future trends, areas of interest, and what is next in industry.
