by The Global Raman Spectroscopy Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1.18 Billion In 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.6% over the forecast period 2023 – 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique used to observe vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system. It relies on inelastic scattering, or Raman scattering, of monochromatic light, usually from a laser in the visible, near infrared, or near ultraviolet range. The laser light interacts with molecular vibrations, phonons or other excitations in the system, resulting in the energy of the laser photons being shifted up or down. The shift in energy gives information about the vibrational modes in the system. Raman spectroscopy is commonly used in chemistry to provide a structural fingerprint by which molecules can be identified. It can also be used to identify and study different forms or polymorphs of molecules.
Market Dynamics:
One of the major drivers for the global Raman spectroscopy market is the wide usage of Raman spectroscopy in pharmaceutical applications. Raman spectroscopy enables rapid, reliable, non-destructive analysis of pharmaceutical raw materials and finished products, without any sample preparation. It is used for polymorph screening, purity analysis, and identification of counterfeit drugs. Another driver is the growing adoption of Raman spectroscopy by biotechnology companies for applications such as identification of proteins, nucleic acids and other macromolecules. Raman spectroscopy provides sensitive molecular fingerprinting for biomedical research and clinical applications like disease diagnostics. However, the requirement of skilled professionals to operate Raman spectrometers and interpret Raman spectra is a challenge for the market.
