The infrared and terahertz spectroscopy market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been a robust expansion in the size of the infrared and terahertz spectroscopy market. It's projected to escalate from a value of $1.33 billion in 2024, to reach $1.44 billion in 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%.
Factors that have contributed to the growth during the historical period include an increase in population, enhanced government investments, a surge in the demand for airport security, and growing awareness towards food safety.
The infrared and terahertz spectroscopy market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipations are high for significant expansion in the infrared & terahertz spectroscopy market in the coming years, with projections reaching $1.97 billion by 2029 and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%.
Factors expected to boost this growth include an increase in government funds for scientific research, heightened usage in preserving cultural heritage, a burgeoning need for spectroscopy in the cosmetic sector, growing popularity of portable and handheld spectrometers, and a surge in demand for spectroscopy in the field of biotechnology. Emerging trends within the projected timeframe include advances in technology, the incorporation of AI and machine learning, integration with the Internet of Things (IoT), and the advent of hybrid spectroscopy systems.
The growth of the infrared and terahertz spectroscopy market is anticipated to be propelled by the rising occurrence of breast cancer. This type of cancer originates from the cells in the breast. The escalating prevalence of breast cancer can be tied to numerous factors, such as an older population, genetic risk factors, hormonal effects, unhealthy living habits, environmental exposure, and enhanced detection strategies. The methods of infrared and terahertz spectroscopy prove beneficial for detecting breast cancer early and tracking tumors through the analysis of tissue characteristics. For example, the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a government agency in the US, reported in September 2022 that by 2040 the annual count of new breast cancer diagnoses is anticipated to surge over 40%, reaching nearly 3 million instances. Thus, the mounting prevalence of breast cancer acts as a driving factor for the expansion of the infrared and terahertz spectroscopy market.
