The moisture analyzer market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent years, the size of the moisture analyzer market has experienced consistent growth. It's projected to escalate from $2.42 billion in 2024 to $2.51 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%.
The growth witnessed in the past period is due to factors such as stringent regulations, the need for quality control in the manufacturing process, the versatility and customization the analyzers offer, the integrity of pharmaceutical products, environmental monitoring, and quality assurance within the textile industry.
The moisture analyzer market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated to witness significant growth in the upcoming years, the moisture analyzer market is projected to reach a valuation of $3.45 billion by 2029, expanding at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.2%.
The increase is attributed to factors such as the globalization of supply chains, focus on energy efficiency, customization and application specificity, sustainable packaging endeavors, efficient waste management strategies, the advent of portable moisture analyzers and a heightened emphasis on personal care products. Looking ahead, the market is set to be shaped by trends like advanced sensor technologies, the use of infrared moisture analyzers, integration with smart technologies, real-time monitoring and data logging, and connectivity with laboratory information management systems.
The moisture analyzer market growth is anticipated to be bolstered by the increase in industrial and process automation. This type of automation involves the use of advanced technology to streamline industrial processes and replace labor-intensive, repetitive tasks with highly efficient, automated operations. Moisture analyzers are instrumental in amplifying this process automation, minimizing human intervention requirements. They are quick, accurate, user-friendly, and comprehensive. In addition to this, they encapsulate the benefits of all strategies while evading their downsides. For example, in December 2023, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, based in Austria, reported a 2.3% growth in industrial sectors like manufacturing, mining, electricity, water supply, waste management, and other utilities, signalling recovery post-pandemic. Manufacturing significantly contributed to this expansion, increased by 3.2%, whereas the combination of mining and utilities sector—the leading contributor to the economy in low-income nations—shrank by 0.9%. Predictions for 2023 suggest a deceleration in manufacturing due to escalating costs, stricter monetary conditions, geopolitical friction, and global supply chain disruptions. Thus, the increasing adoption of industrial and process automation serves as a major catalyst for the growth of the moisture analyzer market.
