Key Market Drivers

The rise in the geriatric population is a major factor driving the global market growth during the forecast period. One of the fastest-growing segments of the global population is the geriatric population. For instance, in 2020, there were more than 727 million people aged 65 years and above, which accounted for 9.3% of the global population. 

Some of the most frequent microbial diseases impacting the aging population include skin infections, bacterial pneumonia, influenza, urinary tract infections, and gastrointestinal infections. Due to their low immunity and metabolism, the elderly population is subjected to diagnostic tests, such as microbial testing, on a regular basis. Hence, such factors are expected to drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trends

Increasing demand for portable mass spectrometers is a major trend in the market. Due to the emergence of technology, several companies in the market are offering small permanent magnets, which can facilitate the portability of mass spectrometers, unlike traditional mass spectrometer systems which are quite large and bulky.

One of the primary examples of the portable mass spectrometer is the Thermo Fisher Scientific Prima BT Bench Top Mass Spectrometer which provides several benefits such as easy sample introduction, automatic sample, best-in-class resolution, an option for variable sample temperature control, and a built-in pressurized air supply. Hence, such benefits are expected to drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenges

The lack of imaging capabilities is a major challenge restraining the global market growth. Mass spectrometers are known for their ability to recognize molecules based on the recorded measurements of mass-to-charge ratios. But these molecules are mainly represented on a graph with the help of a peak, such that the height of which signifies the quantity of the particular molecules present in the sample.

Molecular imaging techniques have become one of the most commonly used techniques in pharmaceutical research and biomarker (small traceable substances, usually a fluid that is injected into the body) discovery and identification as they facilitate researchers to see the biological and anatomical features of these molecules. But one of the limitations of these spectrometers is that they cannot perform such imaging functions, which can significantly impede the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
