Global Markets for Nanoparticle Size Analysis Instrumentation in the Life Sciences

Report Highlights

The global market for nanoparticles instrumentation in life sciences was $5.6 billion in 2013. This value is expected to increase to $5.9 billion in 2014 and about $7.8 billion by 2019, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% for the five-year period, 2014 to 2019.

Report Includes

• An overview of the global market for particle size analysis instrumentation used in the life sciences, including salient production technologies, geographies, and factors influencing demand.
• Analyses of global market trends, with data from 2012 and 2013, estimates for 2014, and projections of CAGRs through 2019.
• Examination of how the development of nanoparticles and their rapid incorporation into the research and development, formulation, and production of drug products has led to the need for rapid and accurate analytical instrumentation for determining the size and characteristics of various particle materials in the nanometer size range.
• Discussion of how growth in the industry is due to the availability of microchips, smaller circuit boards, and a variety of other advances in the overall electronic and digital imaging areas that have occurred in the last decade.
• A breakdown of particle analysis products, including size analysis, shape analysis, molecular weight analysis, flow analysis, solubility analysis, zeta potential analysis, and molecular structure analysis.
• Relevant patent analysis.

Report Scope

Current and projected product forecasts during the forecast period (2014 to 2019) are discussed. New product launches will be discussed. Revenue figures for 2013 are actual figures, except where actual results have not been reported, due to the timing of the release of this report.

The report includes analysis of leading and emerging nanoparticle instrumentation categories. Profiles of manufacturers of leading products and their specific products are provided. This report also assesses companies poised to introduce products during the forecast period and discusses how these introductions will change the face of the competitive environment.

Market figures are based on revenues at the manufacturers’ level and are projected at 2013-dollar value. Inflation is not computed into the projection figures. Trends are assessed based on projected sales for existing products, for new product introductions, expanded markets for existing products and other factors affecting the market.

Included in this report are forecasts by product, product category and by company from 2012 through 2019. The study is arranged to offer an overview of existing nanoparticle instrumentation technology, company, geography and mechanism of analysis with forecasts broken down and covered by geographic region or country.

Patent information is reviewed for various technologies. The status of approvals by regulatory agencies, where appropriate, is reviewed.

Figures are reported in U.S. dollars and in each case reflect currency fluctuations within the performance of revenue change. Revenue figures do not account for variation in local currencies.

All market share data presented is on a global basis, unless specifically noted.
