Description

Definition and Scope:

Raman Spectroscopy is a non-destructive chemical analysis technique which provides detailed information about chemical structure, phase and polymorphy, crystallinity and molecular interactions. It is based upon the interaction of light with the chemical bonds within a material.

A Raman spectrometer is an instrument that looks at the scattered laser light from a sample, filtering and detecting the light to gather information about chemical bonds in the sample. The spectrum from a Raman spectrometer acts as a fingerprint which can be used to identify or characterize a substance.

The global Raman Spectroscopy market size is projected to reach US$ 471.91 Million by 2028, from US$ 304.02 million in 2021, at a CAGR of 6.65% during 2022-2028.Increased focus on drug development in healthcare will be the main driver for Raman spectroscopy market growth. The analytical techniques offered by Raman spectroscopy are increasingly being implemented at different stages of drug discovery and development. This includes chemical identification, molecular research biology and diagnostics, preformulation, solid form screening, bioanalysis, formulation analysis in late-stage drug development, process analysis , quality control, raw material identification and counterfeit identification. Preformulation studies are an important part of the drug development process, which aims to understand the physicochemical properties of potential drugs to support formulation development for preclinical and clinical studies.

An important step in drug development is solid form screening, which aims to identify the optimal solid form of a potential drug compound as early as possible. This reduces complications in later stages of drug development. The lattice vibrations of the different solid forms produce unique and unique Raman spectra for each form. This makes Raman spectroscopy an important phenomenon in the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, Raman spectroscopy has been widely used to understand phase transitions, such as polymorphism changes, anhydrate-hydrate transitions, and to identify mechanisms of co- crystal formation.

At the same time, Various Research Activities, rising demand for cloud-based spectroscopy will also play a huge role in promoting the development of Raman spectroscopy. In addition to the above key drivers, rapid urbanization, change in lifestyle, surge in investments and increased consumer spending positively impact the raman spectroscopy market.

Despite its many advantages, Raman spectroscopy is still not favored for various applications. The main reason is the high cost associated with the Raman analyzer system. Raman analyzers are much more expensive than alternatives. This is due to the relatively high cost of excitation lasers and detectors. Maintenance costs for Raman systems can be higher due to the lifetime of the laser and associated replacement costs. Almost all analytical Raman systems are laser-like safety products.

However, Raman spectrometers are both non-destructive and non-contact, so there is no need for consumables or sample preparation, reducing their overall cost. Currently, the price range for high-resolution and high-signal-to-noise Raman analyzers is $40,000 and up. On the other hand, the market requires low-cost Raman analyzer systems as general-purpose laboratory tools. However, these systems are usually equipped with low-resolution, low-power visible-light lasers and low signal-to-noise ratios, which are insufficient for any high-performance chemical analysis. Therefore, better resolution and lower cost Raman systems are the keys to improving and increasing the acceptance and utilization of Raman spectroscopy. Hence, high cost of ownership restrains market growth.

By type, the Raman spectroscopy market can be mainly divided into Immersion Mode and Stand-off Mode. In 2021, the Immersion Mode type dominates the entire Raman spectroscopy market, accounting for the highest market share of 72.27%. This situation will remain in the forecast period of 2022-2028. The Immersion Mode type will still maintain a high growth rate of 9.04% CAGR during the forecast period.

In terms of application scenarios, the Raman spectroscopy market can be divided into Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics, Chemical and Materials, Life Sciences, and Others. In 2021, the market share of Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics is 36.24%, which is higher than the market share of other application areas. The growth in the pharmaceutical segment can be attributed to the surge in the use of solid pharmaceutical products by industry and academia. Raman spectroscopy is in high demand in the pharmaceutical industry due to its ability to visualize drug and excipient distribution in pharmaceutical formulations such as tablets, creams and ointments. Furthermore, spectral analysis of pharmaceuticals using Raman spectroscopy offers several additional benefits, such as active pharmaceutical ingredient (AP) selection and optimization. As a scattering technique, Raman spectroscopy does not require a reference optical path. Therefore, it is fiber optic compatible and allows remote sampling.

On basis of geography, the Raman Spectroscopy market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America ,Middle East and Africa, etc. North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific market size is not much different, in 2021 the market The shares are 30.27%, 30.37% and 32.67%. During the forecast period of 2022-2028, we estimate that the Asia-Pacific market size will achieve the highest growth rate, reaching a CAGR of 10.40%, which is much higher than that of other markets. This growth can be attributed to the growing demand for pharmaceutical, life science, and materials science applications in countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India. In addition, the presence of a large number of pharmaceutical and life science companies and contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) is also propelling the growth of the Raman spectroscopy market in the Asia Pacific region. The growth of the Asia-Pacific market can be attributed to active government involvement in improving healthcare infrastructure, rapid urbanization, rising GDP growth in emerging markets, and support from the government and multiple companies to expand the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries.

In 2021, the head effect of the Raman spectroscopy market will be significant. Global Raman Spectroscopy Manufacturers' market concentration indicator CR5 was 53.32% and HHI was 6.71%, slightly lower than 2020 levels. We predict that companies in the Raman spectroscopy market will still be in fierce competition in the future, and the market concentration will still decline slightly in 2022.
