DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Raman Spectroscopy: Technologies and North American Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The North American Raman spectroscopy technology market is experiencing substantial growth in terms of the application of Raman spectrometers in various industrial sectors such as life sciences, material sciences, carbon materials and semiconductors.
Countries including the U.S. and Canada are expected to create potential space for market development in the region. Adhering to various government safety regulations for healthcare, food and beverages, and chemical industries, Raman spectroscopy techniques are widely adopted by researchers and process manufacturers in the region.
The application market for Raman spectroscopy was led by the life sciences segment in 2017 and is expected to continue to do so throughout the forecast period. This technology is not only limited to the analysis of blood samples but is also used in the analysis of cancer. The push for an early diagnosis of the disease is driving market growth in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
In the chemical sector, Raman spectroscopy is commonly used to provide a fingerprint by which molecules can be identified. Technically, Raman spectroscopy relies on Raman scattering or the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light, usually from a laser in the visible, near-infrared or near-ultraviolet range. The laser light interacts with molecular vibrations, phonons or other excitations in the system, resulting in laser photon energy being shifted up or down. This shift provides information about the vibrational modes in the system. Infrared spectroscopy yields similar but complementary information.
Probe-based Raman spectroscopy accounts for the largest share of the market in terms of instrument sales; this product segment is expected to continue to lead the market through the forecast period of 2018 through 2023. The major factor driving the market for probe-based Raman spectroscopy is the advantage it offers of being able to conduct Raman spectroscopy in real-time and easily provide information regarding the materials or samples. With advancements in technology, other types of instruments, such as micro-Raman and FT Raman, are likely to be adopted by industry for several types of applications.
In terms of sampling techniques, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) accounted for the largest market share in 2017. Increasing demand for real-time analysis of samples in the harshest conditions is expected to propel demand for SERS during the forecast period. The U.S. accounted for the largest share of the market in 2017 and is expected to continue to do so throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to the well-developed infrastructure and skilled workforce in the country.
