Overview of the global metal analyzers market
Research analysis on the global metal analyzers market identifies that the adoption of sustainable development practices across the world will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the market’s growth. The growing concerns about sustainable development and waste management practices as well as the awareness on the availability of limited global resources have led to the significant increase in the utilization of recycled metals in manufacturing. Metal analyzers are used in the scrap metal industry to analyze and segregate different metals before they can be recycled by melting. With the growth of the metal recycling industry, the need for metal analyzers will significantly increase. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will generate a revenue of more than USD 978 million by 2021.
In terms of geographic regions, the Americas accounted for the major shares of the metal analyser market during 2016. The region has the biggest mining and manufacturing industries and is witnessing an increase in investments in metal mining and production. The increasing demand for metal analyzers from laboratories and scientific users in the US and Canada and the growth of the automotive and aerospace industries, will also propel the growth of the metal analyzers market in this region during the forecast period.
