The global process spectroscopy market is expected to grow from USD 17.2 billion to USD 30.3 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of 8.8% during the forecast from ranging 2025 to 2030.
Process spectroscopy refers to the specific method of scrutinizing the relations between light, electromagnetic radiation, and matter. Typically, benchtop, portable, micro, and hyphenated spectroscopes, amplifiers, microscopes, display units, and signal processors are all used in process spectroscopy. It is adopted in a wide range of processes, such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR). The technology splits radiation into its different wavelengths to examine different ions, protons, and electrons. This technique is extensively used in biological research, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, water and wastewater management, and electronics sectors.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a moderate impact on the process spectroscopy market owing to its wide adoption in the pharmaceutical sector to detect SARS-CoV-2.
Market Segmentation
Insight by Technology
The global process spectroscopy market is divided by technology into mass spectroscopy, molecular spectroscopy, and atomic spectroscopy categories. The molecular spectroscopy segment will grow at a higher CAGR due to compact design and higher usage for drug development and other specific purposes. It is typically divided into different subsections such as Near-Infrared, Fourier-Transform Infrared, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Raman, and other segments. The NMR segment is expected to grow due to rapid development. Raman spectroscopy is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period due to higher adoption in the food, agriculture, and pharmaceutical industries.
Insight by Component
The global process spectroscopy market is also divided by components into hardware and software segments. Out of these two segments, the former is expected to grow more and contribute a larger share to the market during the forecast period due to the growing adoption of manufacturing and packaging industries for regulatory compliance and quality standard requirements.
Insight by Application
Different applications also divide the global process spectroscopy market into oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, polymer, food & agriculture, chemicals, water and wastewater management, pulp & paper, metal & mining, and other segments. Out of these, the pharmaceutical segment is expected to contribute a larger share of the market during the projected period due to higher usage by drug companies for testing the porosity of a substance to maintain quality control standards. It is also used extensively to evaluate the state of the compositions. The food, agriculture, water, and wastewater segments are also expected to grow at a higher CAGR due to the higher efficiency of this process to detect impurities in water. In the food & agriculture industry, it is used to monitor materials used in fermentation processing and the reactions to avoid repetition and preserve product uniformity.

Industry Dynamics
Industry Trends
One noteworthy trend in the industry is the rising emphasis on lowering variable costs by eradicating errors in the production process and rework requirements. The ability to monitor and control the quality of product most effectively and efficiently by process spectroscopy allows that. Furthermore, there is also an increased emphasis on maintaining international quality standards like ISO by several industries, especially pharmaceutical, food & beverage, chemical, and agriculture.
Growth Drivers
The growth factors of the global process spectroscopy market include rapid industrialization and the growing demand for better-quality products. The rise in consumer awareness and the shifting energy sources also propels the market growth. Additionally, strict government regulations regarding safety standards and compliance requirements with given standards are further fueling the market growth. The benefits offered by process spectroscopy, such as cost-efficiency, time-saving, low-cost inventory management, and eliminating negative results due to interruption of production at any stage, encourage higher adoption in pharmaceuticals, food, and agriculture industries along with the forensic sector for identifying organic compounds or substances in a crime scene are promoting market expansion. In addition, the growing research and development activities, accuracy in analysis, and prediction of product quality, especially in medicine, packaged food, and chemicals, are also fueling the market growth.
Challenges
The most significant hindrance to the growth of the global process spectroscopy market is the large capital requirement in deploying spectroscopic equipment. It is also hindered by issues related to the utilization of and lack of skilled personnel.
Opportunities
Growth opportunities are, however, offered by the ongoing innovation in process spectroscopy to reduce the cost of product evaluation. The availability and extensive use of promotional tools by vendors, the growth in the number of research on the microscopic study of chemicals in the pharmaceuticals industry, and the growing adoption of technically developed cloud-based equipment by pharmaceutical firms also create new growth opportunities. Also, the growing emphasis by companies to develop portable spectrometer instruments with wireless connectivity that provide instant results offers opportunities for growth in the process spectroscopy market.
Geographic Overview
North America is expected to contribute the largest market share during the forecast period due to a developed infrastructure in the region. It is also attributed to the growing adoption of this technique across a wide range of industry verticals like food, pharmaceutical, and oil industries. In addition, the strict government rules for manufactured products and the presence of major industry players in the region also facilitate its growth.
Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a faster rate during the projected period due to higher R&D initiatives and developed processes, a robust manufacturing hub, and higher application in the extraction, processing, and distribution of oil and gas.
