Molecular Spectroscopy Market: Is Estimated To Witness High Growth Owing To Trends In Use For Drug Discovery And Pharmaceutical Authentication

The Molecular Spectroscopy Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2867.18 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.2% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:

Molecular spectroscopy involves determining the physical and chemical properties of molecules based on their interaction with electromagnetic radiation. Common techniques include infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. These techniques find wide applications in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food analysis, chemistry research, and other industries for identification, detection, and quantification of elements and their compounds.

Market key trends:

Molecular spectroscopy is witnessing high demand due to its growing use in drug discovery. It enables monitoring chemical and biological reactions in real time and inexpensively screening large numbers of compounds to identify potential drug candidates. In addition, molecular spectroscopy techniques such as Raman spectroscopy and IR spectroscopy are increasingly being used for pharmaceutical authentication to detect counterfeit drugs. They provide a non-destructive method for identifying active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients in drugs. The rising cases of drug counterfeiting globally is thus favoring the growth of the molecular spectroscopy market. The ability to detect very low concentrations of molecules is also propelling the demand for molecular spectroscopy tools for applications like environmental monitoring and trace chemical analysis. Technological advancements leading to development of compact, portable and user-friendly spectroscopy instruments with increased sensitivity and efficiency further support the market growth.
