Wednesday 11 May 2016, Amsterdam

The report, now available on ASDReports, "Particle Size Analysis Market by Technology (Laser Diffraction, DLS, Imaging (Dynamic, Static), Coulter Principle, NTA), Industry (Healthcare, Chemicals & Petroleum, Food & Beverage), Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, RoW) - Global Forecast to 2021" , analyzes and studies the major market drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW).

This report studies the global particle size analysis market over the forecast period of 2016 to 2021. The market is expected to reach USD 256.1 Million by 2021, at CAGR of 4.7% from 2016 to 2021.

Based on the type of technology, the global particle size analysis market is divided into six segments, namely, laser diffraction, dynamic light scattering (DLS), imaging, Coulter principle, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and others. Imaging technology is further segmented into dynamic image analysis and static image analysis. The others segment comprises resonant mass measurement, sedimentation, sieve analysis, and laser obscuration.

Furthermore, based on the type of dispersion, the global particle size analysis market is segmented into wet particle size analysis, dry particle size analysis, and spray particle size analysis. On the basis of industry, the particle size analyzers market is classified into healthcare; chemicals and petroleum; mining, minerals, and cement; food and beverage; and others. The others segment consists of toner, ink, paints, coatings, environmental analysis, and cosmetics industries. Based on the type of end users in the healthcare industry, the global particle size analyzers market is classified into pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, public and private research institutions, and academic institutions.

A number of factors such as increasing nanotechnology research, presence of stringent regulatory guidelines to ensure compliance with GMP guidelines are driving the growth of the global particle size analysis market. Market consolidation through mergers and acquisitions and the focus on raising quality standards of product safety in developing countries offer high growth opportunities for market players. However, high import duties on particle size analyzers in developing countries, high cost of analyzers, and lack of customer awareness are restricting the growth of the particle size analysis market.

As of 2015, North America held the largest share of the global particle size analysis market, followed by Europe. However, the Asia-Pacific market is expected to register the highest CAGR of 5.9% from 2016 to 2021. A number of factors including gradual shift of pharmaceutical R&D and manufacturing activities from developed countries to Asian countries, and increasing quality standards for products in developing economies are stimulating the growth of the particle size analysis market in the Asia-Pacific region.

Malvern Instruments (U.K.), HORIBA, Ltd. (Japan), Beckman Coulter, Inc. (U.S.), Microtrac (U.S.), Micromeritics Instrument Corporation (U.S.), Izon Science Limited (New Zealand), CILAS (France), Sympatec GmbH (Germany), and Agilent Technologies, Inc. (U.S.) are the major players in the global particle size analysis market.
