The nanoparticle measurement instrument market size is projected to reach US$ 10.93 billion by 2031 from US$ 7.59 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.7% during 2023–2031. The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning is likely to act as a future trend in the market.
The expanding applications of nanotechnology and developments in analytical techniques are driving the nanoparticle measurement instrument market toward growth. Nanoparticles are small particles with diameters ranging from 1 to 100 nm. Instruments such as transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning electron microscopes (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and X ray diffractometers are used for determining the particle concentration and particle size. They are also used in techniques such as dynamic light scattering and microscopy. In recent years, nanoparticles have gained attention due to their use in consumer products, medicine, soil, and aquatic environments, which signifies the need for instruments to measure their sizes and study their characteristics.
China is expected to register the highest CAGR in the Asia Pacific nanoparticle measurement instruments market during the forecast period. The presence of renowned research organizations such as the National Center for Electron Microscopy in Beijing and the Chinese National Protein Science Facility at Tsinghua University, along with research facilities of private companies, e.g., including the Thermo Fisher Scientific electron microscopy facility located in Shanghai, China, are contributing to the market size in China. These research organizations utilize advanced analytical instruments such as SEM, TEM, and XRDs to understand the structures of nanoparticles. Moreover, companies, organizations, governments, etc., are contributing to the increasing research activities utilizing nanoparticles and the expanding use of nanoparticles in the pharmaceutical industry in China. Thus, such activities in the healthcare sector bolster the nanoparticle measurement instrument market growth in China.
Nanotechnology is being employed in a rising number of applications in the pharmaceutical industry, including cancer treatment, targeted drug delivery, and diagnostic imaging. The use of nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicles helps increase the efficacy and lower the side effects of therapeutic candidates. Nanopharmaceuticals are the materials manipulated at the nanoscale, often to produce drugs with enhanced bioavailability, controlled release properties, or targeting. These applications need precise measuring devices to monitor drug delivery, assure quality control, and characterize nanoparticles. A thorough understanding of and control over nanoparticle size, shape, surface charge, and composition are necessary to develop nanopharmaceuticals. Thus, zeta potential analyzers, electron microscopes, and size analyzers are essential for investigations related to nanoparticles. Nanopharmaceuticals can ensure the precise delivery of drugs to particular tissues or cells, along with improving their stability and solubility. The continuous research and optimization efforts in the field of nanotechnology depend on the availability of sophisticated measurement tools to understand and alter the interactions and properties at the nanoscale. Thus, an increase in the application of nanotechnology to produce nanopharmaceuticals is driving the global nanoparticle measurement instrument market growth.
Several research activities are being carried out on drug delivery using nanotechnology. Nanotechnology contributes significantly to the effectiveness and potency of chronic disease treatments through site-specific and target-oriented delivery of precise medicines in humans. Various nanomedicine agents have been studied for their application in chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Recent efforts to advance nano-based drug delivery systems and nanomedicine have been focused on improving drug delivery by using the efficacy and selectiveness of nanomaterials. The use of large-sized materials in drug delivery poses substantial challenges, which include poor bioavailability, in vivo instability, poor solubility, issues with target-specific delivery, and sub-optimal absorption within the body. Nanotechnology plays a significant role in advanced medicine/drug formulations, as their size, shape, and surface chemistry can be adjusted to deduce benefit from the unique properties of nanoscale materials and structures; this allows tailoring their functionalities for different biomedical applications. For instance, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are being studied by AstraZeneca as a novel and promising delivery system for nucleotide-based medicines that produce therapeutic proteins inside target cells. Creative Biolabs offers sophisticated formulation development systems for APIs. Its particle and nanoparticle engineering technologies enable an array of nanotechnology-based drug delivery platforms. The business also sells polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, and nanocrystals. Thus, continuous developments in nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems are expected to generate significant opportunities for the nanoparticle measurement instrument market in the coming years.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the nanoparticle measurement instrument market analysis are products and type, application, and end user.
The geographic scope of the nanoparticle measurement instrument market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, South & Central America, and the Middle East & Africa.
