The global laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy market size was valued at USD 434.67 million in 2022, expected to to reach at a CAGR of 6.20% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is attributed to factors such as the increasing use of LIBS in the pharmaceutical industry, technological advancements & product innovation, and increasing R&D activities.
An increase in technological advancements is one of the major factors contributing to the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy industry growth. LIBS mostly relies on laser technology, and advancements in lasers have significantly improved the performance and reliability of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy systems. The development of compact, portable, and more powerful lasers has made these instruments more accessible, affordable, and user-friendly. The portability of devices enables on-site and in-field analysis, eliminating the need for sample transportation and reducing analysis time.
Furthermore, rising awareness and adoption of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy in emerging economies have become significant driving factors for the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy industry growth. These regions are experiencing rapid industrialization, infrastructure development, and increasing environmental concerns, creating a demand for advanced analytical tools like LIBS. The affordability and portability of LIBS systems have further accelerated its adoption in emerging economies, creating new opportunities, and expanding its presence globally.
The increasing application of LIBS in biomedical research and development activities has positively affected the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy industry growth. The utilization of the LIBS technique allows for quantitative analysis of a wide range of samples, enabling the examination of the chemical composition of biological fluids and tissues. This technology proves effective in detecting both endogenous and exogenous metals present in biological tissues. In drug discovery, LIBS can be utilized to identify toxic elements and detect excessive or deficient minerals. Moreover, it finds applications in routine analysis within research laboratories focusing on nanotechnology. These diverse applications are expected to drive the adoption of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy in R&D activities.
