by The spectrophotometer is a versatile analytical instrument used widely across industries like pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemicals, food testing and more. A spectrophotometer analyzes the concentration of solutes by passing electromagnetic waves through a sample and measuring its absorbance against a reference substance. It provides quick and accurate analysis of different compounds present in complex mixtures. Industries rely on spectrophotometers to test purity and potency of drugs, determine vitamin content in food products, and analyze DNA/RNA and protein samples. The global spectrophotometer market witnesses rising adoption as it offers fast, cost-effective and non-destructive testing compared to traditional analytical methods.
The global Spectrophotometer Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 21.6 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 30.% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
