Research and Markets: Particle Size Analysis Market by Technology, Industry & End User - Global Forecasts to 2018


DUBLIN --(Business Wire)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8dwtr5/particle_size) has announced the addition of the "Particle Size Analysis Market by Technology, Industry & End User - Global Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering.

The global particle size analyzers market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% and is expected to reach $290 million by 2018.

Compared to mature markets, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 6.0%. The growth of the particle size analyzers market is primarily triggered by factors such as the increasing application of nanotechnology, geographic expansion of market players across the globe, and the presence of stringent regulatory guidelines to comply with good manufacturing practices for traditional industries (such as healthcare, chemicals, mining, and petroleum).

However, factors such as high import duties on particle size analyzers in developing countries, high cost of analyzers, and the lack of customer awareness are restraining the growth of the particle size analyzers market. Market consolidation through mergers and acquisitions, and increasing stringency of government regulations related to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines in developing countries such as China and India are opening new growt opportunities for players in this market.



However, the gradual migration of R&D and manufacturing activities of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies from North America to developing Asian countries is the major restraining factor for the growth of the particle size analyzers market in North America. The Asia-Pacific region is poised to grow at the highest CAGR of 6.0% in next five years. The growth of particle size analyzers in the Asia-Pacific market is propelled by factors such as the rapidly growing pharmaceutical industry and increasing government concerns towards maintaining the high quality standards for products manufactured in emerging countries.

The global particle size analyzers market is highly competitive, with a large number of global as well as local market players. As of 2013, the global particle size analyzers market was dominated by Malvern Instruments Limited (U.K.), HORIBA, Ltd. (Japan), Beckman Coulter, Inc. (U.S.), and Microtrac, Inc. (U.S.).
