The pharmaceuticals segments showed a gradual increase in the market share of USD 191.64 million in 2017 and continued to grow by 2021. Raman spectroscopy uses the spectroscopic technique to reveal the chemical structure, concentration, identity, and behavior of molecules in solids, liquids, gels, gases, slurries, or powder samples. Raman spectroscopy has been used to determine the structure of therapeutic drug substances and define their structural components for more dynamic molecules in the pharmaceutical industry.
Benchtop Raman spectroscopy instruments are used on a laboratory workbench for convenience. This is because these instruments do not take up significant space and can be placed easily on the workbench. Benchtop Raman spectroscopy instruments offer better signal-to-noise and fewer interferences from fluorescence due to higher excitation wavelength in comparison to that of portable devices. Also, benchtops can capture larger areas of samples compared with portable devices, thereby eliminating measurement inaccuracies. By reducing laboratory analysis time and replacing routine tests with devices capable of analyzing multiple samples at the same time, a few features will benefit the end-user industries. Such benefits of the benchtop model will directly contribute to the growth of the benchtop segment of the market in focus during the forecast period.
