The molecular spectroscopy market is not completely immune from a slow growing economy. Accordingly, the market’s growth should drop from more than 7% in 2011 to less than 5% in 2012. All technology segments of the molecular spectroscopy market will see a decline in their growth, although some more than others. However, every technology segment […]
Spectroscopy is a method for using a signal, generally based on a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, to identify samples. In the case of atomic spectroscopy, the information from the instrument typically provides the elemental composition of the sample. Depending on the particular technique, atomic spectroscopy instruments can measure elemental abundance in the percent range […]
The laboratory automation market consists of four technology segments: liquid handling, microplate readers, robotics and management informatics. Collectively, these technology categories account for approximately 7% of the analytical and life science instrumentation market. The lab automation market is a fragmented market, with the sales of the top five companies accounting for about 40% of the […]
Despite a variety of negative macroeconomic factors that are expected to continue well into 2012, demand for mass spectrometry (MS) is still expected to show high single-digit growth this year, which is only modestly lower growth than in 2011. The large installed base combined with continued improvements in performance are the major factors helping to […]
The life science instrumentation (LSI) market encompasses a broad spectrum of technologies grouped into a dozen categories. LSI technologies range from mature, multibillion dollar markets to high-growth, burgeoning technology segments. Overall, the LSI market is the largest technology sector in the analytical instrument market, accounting for about a quarter of total sales. The LSI market […]
Continuing its momentum from 2010, the separations market experienced another year of solid growth. The separations market, which accounts for 17% of the total analytical and life sciences instrumentation industry, increased 8.9% to $7.3 billion in 2011. Like 2010, sales in 2011 were driven by strong demand for initial systems, which posted double-digit sales growth. […]
Academic and Government Spending Concerns In 2011, concerns about cuts to the NIH budget and European governments’ research spending kept instrument and lab product companies on edge, affecting sales growth and operations, especially at life science companies. Uncertainty about budget changes froze spending at some US labs, while cutbacks affected labs in certain European countries. […]
Columbia, MD 1/3/12—Shimadzu has named Shuzo Maruyama president of Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (SSI), its American subsidiary, effective December 19.
