Global Micro X-ray Fluorescence (µXRF) Analyzer Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Micro X-ray Fluorescence (μXRF) Analyzer market size is predicted to grow from US$ 123 million in 2025 to US$ 169 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2025 to 2031.

Micro X-ray fluorescence is an elemental analysis technique which allows for the examination of very small sample areas. Like conventional XRF instrumentation, Micro X-ray Fluorescence uses direct X-ray excitation to induce characteristic X-ray fluorescence emission from the sample for elemental analysis. Unlike conventional XRF, which has a typical spatial resolution ranging in diameter from several hundred micrometers up to several millimeters, Micro X-ray fluorescence uses X-ray optics to restrict the excitation beam size or focus the excitation beam to a small spot on the sample surface so that small features on the sample can be analyzed. Micro X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is the method of choice for the elemental analysis of non-homogeneous or irregularly shaped samples as well as small objects or even inclusions.

Global key players of Micro-XRF Analyzer include AMETEK, HORIBA, Bruker and Hitachi High-Tech, etc. Top four players occupy for a share about 90%. North America is the largest market, with a share about 40%, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific. In terms of product, Benchtop is the largest segment, with a share over 90%. In terms of application, Materials Science is the largest market, with a share over 30%.
