INTRODUCTION
STUDY OBJECTIVES
Spectroscopy is the science of measurement and interpretation of
electromagnetic spectra. Emissions and absorption of such spectra can be
measured and used in a number of different ways to identify and determine
physical characteristics of materials. Thus, this is an important commercial
as well as academic science, and the market for spectroscopic instruments is a
multibillion-dollar one in the United States, and an even larger market
worldwide.
This is an update of an October 2006 BCC Research report on the subject by the
same author. BCC Research' s goal in conducting this study is to provide an
overview of the science of spectroscopy and of the wide-ranging market for
spectroscopic instruments.
This market certainly is not new, but it is very enduring. One of the main
objectives is to examine present and future trends of the instruments
manufactured. The study was conducted to define the different spectroscopy
types and their instruments, and to determine, estimate, and forecast the
different market sizes, both by the various types of spectroscopy and by their
primary markets.
The report begins with some basic principles that underlie these technologies,
and then BCC Research estimates and forecasts their markets for instruments
over a 5-year period from 2009 to 2014. Our goal is to describe the products
and markets for instruments used in spectroscopy, the factors affecting these
markets, and how those markets are likely to change.
In addition, there is a discussion of the industry in general and the
companies that make and sell these products. A key objective of this study is
to present a comprehensive analysis of the current spectroscopic
instrumentation market and its future direction, with an emphasis on newer
techniques and products.
As previously noted, spectroscopy is highly technical, and its products and
markets are large and diverse. The industries and applications that are
covered are discussed below in the section "Scope of Report."
REASONS FOR DOING THIS STUDY
The U.S. analytical instrument market is changing constantly, primarily
through introduction of new products. Several factors contribute to changes in
the U.S. market; these include research and development (R&D) and quality
assurance and control (QA/QC) spending, increasing competition, new
technologies, the increasingly global marketplace, and a changing and diverse
customer base.
This study looks at these factors and a number of the analytical instrument
markets affected by them. This is a very complex market in which many
technologies often are combined to produce a better instrument. Many of them
are for niche markets with very specialized applications. This creates a very
diverse industry and one that is rather difficult to easily segment,
characterize, and categorize.
In addition to old standbys like infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV)
spectroscopy, newer and combined (often called "hyphenated") technologies are
adding to the market. The most used combinations, and the ones that BCC
Research and most others call hyphenated, are the combining of gas/liquid
chromatography with mass spectrometry (called GC-MS and LC-MS).
This report covers corporate strategies in these competitive markets,
strategies that strive to develop and market better instruments, and thus
obtain a better market position; this is often accomplished via mergers,
acquisitions, and collaborations. The study discusses strengths and weaknesses
of analytical instrument R&D in light of new technologies, growing
competition, and changing customer needs.
It examines the science and markets from the points of view of both
manufacturers and users, and presents the various types of spectroscopy and
technologies involved with their instrumentation. Also included are some
regulations governing use, technological descriptions and issues,
applications, a U.S. patent analysis, market factors, and potential and
estimated U.S. markets for 2009 and 2014. There is a compilation of
information on new products and new technologies in the spectroscopic
instrument industry.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
This report is intended to assist those involved in several different segments
of the U.S. industrial and commercial spectroscopy business. These
organizations and personnel include those involved in the development,
formulation, manufacture, sale, and use of spectroscopic instrument. It also
is intended for those in ancillary businesses such as analytical materials and
additives regeneration.
This audience includes process and product development experts, process and
product designers, purchasing agents, laboratory and operating personnel,
marketing staff, and top management. BCC Research believes this report will be
of great value to technical and business personnel in the following areas,
among others:
- Marketing and management personnel in companies that produce, market, and
sell spectroscopic instruments and ancillaries
- Companies involved in the design and manufacture of these instruments and
ancillaries
- Financial institutions that supply money for these facilities
- Personnel in end-user companies and industries, a wide-ranging panoply of
industries involved in biotechnology, environmental, food and beverage, what
can be called industrial chemistry (including petroleum and petrochemicals),
materials, pharmaceutical studies and manufacture, academic and industrial
laboratories, and companies that make consumer and household products
- Personnel in government at many levels, primarily federal, but also state
and local environmental and other regulators who must implement and enforce
laws regarding water and air quality, etc.
SCOPE OF REPORT
This study covers many of the most important technological, economic,
political, and environmental considerations in the U.S. spectroscopy industry.
Primary markets covered here are chemical and related analyses, not the
astrophysical applications that are the other principal uses for spectroscopic
science.
Primarily, it is a study of U.S. markets, but because of the global nature of
chemistry and instrumentation, it also touches on some noteworthy
international activities. They mainly are the ones that can have an impact on
the U.S. market, such as imports/exports and, increasingly, foreign firms that
operate here.
All market value forecasts are given in constant 2009 dollars, and all growth
rates are compounded (CAGR = compound annual growth rate). Market values are
rounded to the nearest million dollars. Because of rounding to the nearest
million, some growth rates may not agree exactly with figures in the market
tables, especially for small values.
This report is segmented into 11 sections, of which this is the first.
The Summary encapsulates findings and conclusions, and includes a table
depicting sales by application. Next, there is an Overview of spectra and
spectroscopy, with some definitions and history of the science, and an
introduction to the many different types of spectroscopy. Its intent is to
introduce the reader to the field of spectroscopic analysis. SCOPE of report
(Continued) Following is a section on the different types of spectroscopic
analysis: bulk, mixture, surface, and spectroscopic microanalysis. Included
are market estimates and forecasts for these different types.
The next section discusses, estimates, and forecasts markets for spectroscopic
instruments by the different types of spectroscopy (as contrasted with the
types of spectroscopic analysis covered in the previous section). The market
is subdivided into sections for each of the major spectroscopy classes. Market
estimates and forecasts are for base year 2009 and forecast year 2014, all in
constant 2009 dollars.
Then there is a discussion and forecast of the markets for spectroscopic
instruments by their typical applications. These applications are broken into
six main groups: biotechnology, environmental, food and beverage, industrial
chemistry, materials, and pharmaceuticals; there also is an "other" category
for applications that do not fit into the main six. Again, the estimates are
forecasts for base year 2009 and a 5-year forecast to 2014 in constant 2009
dollars.
The section to follow is devoted to technology, with an emphasis on both
established and new spectroscopic technologies. Although the basic principles
of most types of spectroscopic analysis have been well known and practiced for
some time, there are continual R&D efforts to improve upon them. New
developments and techniques for several of the major types of spectroscopy are
discussed.
The next section covers the structure and activities of the spectroscopic
industry, with emphasis on industry classification, the active mergers and
acquisitions (M&A) business, marketing and competitive factors, and major
domestic producers and suppliers. There is a brief look at some international
aspects of the spectroscopic instrument business, including the global nature
of the business and major foreign-owned supplier companies operating in the
United States.
The section to follow covers some important facets of government influence and
regulations. Spectroscopy and the use of its instruments are regulated in
several ways, including being specified for applications for many mandated
assays and analytical procedures for pharmaceuticals, food products, and
others. We discuss some of the different types of spectroscopy that are
specified for several important procedures and products.
The last narrative section consists of profiles of those supplier companies
that BCC Research considers to be among the most important in these
businesses. There are many more companies that operate in one or more niche
markets, but in BCC Research' s opinion, are not important enough to be
considered major producers and suppliers.
The report finishes with an Appendix containing a glossary of some important
terms, abbreviations, acronyms, etc., used in the spectroscopy and
spectroscopic instruments business. Many of these are common terms used in
chemistry and physics, some of them quite basic but necessary for an
understanding of the industry and the science behind it. This glossary
contains definitions and explanations for many of the most important
abbreviations and acronyms. It is assumed that most readers have had at least
an initial introduction to chemistry and physics, and understand the
principles of chemical and other technical nomenclature.
For consistency in style and format, trade names are indicated by initial
upper-case letters, while generic terms and names are in lower case. Because
many chemical and other technical names are long and complicated, BCC Research
also uses abbreviations, acronyms, or chemical formulas, all of which are
explained at first use and further defined in the Appendix glossary. Because
spectroscopy categories usually have long names like nuclear magnetic
resonance (NMR), common acronyms are usually employed, such as NMR. All such
acronyms are in capital letters.
To summarize, the basic scope of this study encompasses the major types of
spectroscopy used in the analytical industry, that is, the analysis of
chemicals and other materials. BCC Research analyzes each technology and
discusses manufacturers, new products, market projections, and some market
share information. Also covered are technological issues, including the latest
trends and some new technologies. Discussions and market estimates and
forecasts are for U.S. markets.
METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES
Searches were made of literature and the Internet, including many of the
leading trade publications and patents, as well as technical compendia and
government publications. Much product and market information was derived,
whenever possible, from the companies involved. Information for corporate
profiles primarily came from the companies themselves, especially the larger
publicly owned firms. Other sources included directories, articles, and
Internet sites.
