Particle size analysis is the process of determining the size and distribution of particles in a given solid, emulsion, suspension or aerosol. Different methods of analysis are employed to measure particle size; some procedures can be used for a wide range of materials, while others are sample specific. Particle size analysis forms an integral part of several industrial processes for quality control as well as in determining the efficiency of the manufacturing process and product performance. As a result, it is extensively used in the production of aerosols, food and beverages, paints and coatings, building materials and pharmaceuticals.

Over the years, particle size analysis has evolved from milling, sieving and other material processing techniques to dynamic digital image analysis (DIA), static laser light scattering (SLS), also called laser diffraction, and sieve analysis, which are used in a variety of industries. It is widely used in the production of semiconductor components and cosmetic products, wherein it impacts reflectivity, color, flavor, hydration rate, and appearance, including gloss and tinctorial strength of the final products. Similarly, in the pharmaceutical industry, it is employed for determining and ensuring the homogeneity of medicines including capsules, pills and tablets, coupled with maintaining fluidity and consistency of raw material. Moreover, the stringent regulatory guidelines by governments of various nations regarding product quality across industries are further anticipated to drive the revenues for particle size analyzer manufacturers.
