FTIR INSTRUMENTS MARKET OVERVIEW

The FTIR Instruments Market size was valued at approximately USD 0.36 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 0.61 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period.

A Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) instrument measures the concentration of a particular material in gas or liquid phase samples using the method of infrared absorption. By measuring the wavelengths of gases and liquids, it analyzes them and divides them into several categories. In order to increase accuracy, security, and safety when investigating unknown materials, FTIR spectrometers now offer simultaneous observations at two separate frequencies.

One major reason propelling the growth of the (FTIR) instruments market is the rise in applications for FTIR spectroscopy. FRIR spectroscopy has several applications in life science, research, food and packaging, gas analysis, environmental analysis, medicines, and forensics. The FTIR Instruments Market growth  is mostly being driven by the expansion of applications for FTIR spectroscopy.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Growth Obstructed by Pandemic due to Lockdown

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

COVID-19 was the duration where the whole world faced extreme situations a drastic disruption in the health issues and economical issues. This fall faced by the people during pandemic caused a lot of disruptions especially in the machinery sector but the most affected sector was the equipment sector as complete halt on the activities related to this sector was imposed due the newly founded rules of social distancing, curfew and lockdowns for the betterment of people. These factors brought a lot of challenges in front of the (FTIR) instrument market share but past pandemic these challenges have been faced and put to rest since then.
