Several market trends are shaping the future of analytical instrumentation:

Manufacturers are reducing the cost of ownership of ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis) spectrometers to meet the demands of the environmental testing sector. As many commercialized laboratories exist in this sector, the demand for low-cost spectrometers will continue to grow.
Sales of ultra-high performance and two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC) systems will drive laboratory LC revenues to $2,819.4 million in 2018 with an annual growth rate of 6.8 percent.
Demand from the biopharmaceutical sector will fuel mass spectrometer uptake in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life sciences industries, pushing revenues to $1,560.6 million in 2018 with an annual growth rate of 7.8 percent.
New drug research conducted in China will increase the demand for LC and mass spectrometers.
Growth in food testing will exceed 7 percent from 2017 to 2018 for liquid and ion chromatographs.
Laboratory analysis is shifting to continuous and portable analysis, and users will seek online and portable instruments.

Geographically, analytical instrumentation will experience less demand in Europe compared to other regions. In the US, the upswing in manufacturing and shale gas production will bolster sales. The Asia-Pacific market will experience high demand, but vendors must promote advanced analytical instruments to customers.

"Process, online and continuous analyzers will be in demand more than laboratory analytical instruments due to their ability to reduce additional analysis and improve customer productivity," stressed Balasundar. "Analytical instrumentation manufacturers should focus on reducing instruments' maintenance requirements to cut down the total cost for customers. There is also a need for a common software platform to access and control different technology solutions, which will further improve productivity."
