The construction and infrastructure, chemicals, mining, coating, oil and gas, cosmetics, and medical device industries are also expanding rapidly in emerging countries, supporting the need for efficient monitoring systems including particle size analyzers.
Market Segmentation
The global Particle Counters Market is segmented into Types, Applications, and Countries.
Airborne particles held the dominant market share in 2022
Airborne particle counters are primarily used to detect airborne pathogens and contaminations and monitor cleanroom conditions in the pharmaceutical industry, semiconductor manufacturing, automotive component manufacturing, medical device, implants and prosthetics industries, food processing, and other industries.
Portable, remote, handheld, and condensation types of airborne particle counters are marketed by companies, based on the specific end-user application segment. Companies offering real-time continuous data collection at a cost-effective price per point are widely gaining business growth.
The healthcare segment is growing at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
A wide range of life sciences and healthcare sub-industries including pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceutical, drug discovery & delivery, medical device manufacturing, prosthetics, and other sectors deploy particle counters. The advent of nanotechnology in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries is further supporting the market for particle counters.
In addition, hospital pharmacies are also procuring particle counters. The pharmaceutical and compounding pharmacy industries emphasize more on indoor air quality and the recent COVID-19 pandemic has further intensified the drive for analyzing the particles.
Significant expenditure of R&D in the healthcare industry is among the main market drivers for particle counters in the industry. Particle counters detect and measure contaminants such as dust, mold spores, debris, VOCs, and other contaminants in the cleanroom environment.
Particle counting sensors are installed together with other sensors such as temperature, humidity, differential pressure, and others to ensure desired environmental conditions in the operating rooms.
By Region, Asia Pacific is the fastest growing market for the period 2023 to 2030
Driven by China, India, and other developing countries, regional growth is strongest in the Asia Pacific at an 11.3% CAGR forecast.
China- Smart home initiatives, the deployment of particle counters by builders, and launch of different models to cater to diverse customer bases, and the presence of a large number of manufacturers drive the market growth in China.
Long-term exposure to particulate matter causes premature death, which is forcing the government to exercise stringent control over emissions and air quality. Stringent ‘Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law’ and ongoing awareness programs are conducted across urban localities, supporting the sales volume.
China is the second-largest pharmaceutical market and has a strong drug development pipeline. The country also has strong automobile manufacturing and other industries. Further, the country relies heavily on coal for power generation, which results in huge emissions. The wastewater treatment industry is also gaining rapid progress in China, which supports the demand for liquid-borne particle counters.
