Analytical Instrumentation Vendors Focus on Solutions that Reduce the Total Cost for Customers

Ability to improve productivity and analysis time strengthens growth opportunities for process, online and continuous analyzers, finds Frost & Sullivan's Test & Measurement team

SANTA CLARA, California, Aug. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Increasing customer understanding of the value of analytical instruments is driving demand for laser-based analyzers, near infrared spectrometers, ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatographs and other productivity-boosting analyzers. Emerging regions such as India, Latin America and South Korea, which are witnessing tremendous industrial activity, will contribute to analytical instrument uptake as they try to improve product manufacturing and quality control to meet global standards. To leverage these positive trends, test companies must raise customer knowledge about advanced analytical instruments, work with regulatory authorities to tighten quality requirements, collaborate with customers to develop on-premise methods for easier access, and strengthen their overall inventory.

"New capabilities, business models, mergers and acquisitions, and geographic expansion will be critical success factors," said Frost & Sullivan Test and Measurement Research Analyst Janani Balasundar. "Analytical instrumentation manufacturers must reduce cost of ownership and maintenance requirements of analyzers, introduce efficient portable and continuous form factors of laboratory instruments, simplify the user interface of software considering the shortage of skilled labor, enhance automation capability of instruments, and eliminate extensive sample preparation procedures."
