Top-Down Analytics (TDA) is a management consulting firm specialising in analytical technologies that provides decision-making information to the leaders of scientific technology companies. TDA has published its report on the mass spectrometry (MS) market which contains a user survey and discusses the market conditions at the end of 2023.
Thank you to Glenn Cudiamat and TDA for conducting this informative market research and for allowing us to report on the results. This blog will give an overview of TDA’s results from the past year, looking at each technology classification in greater detail.
The total size of the MS market is $4.7 billion with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of mid-single digits through 2028. The market increase will be fuelled by demand for high resolution (HR) and ultra-high resolution (UHR) MS systems.
The largest regional market is Asia, driven by demand in China. Although gains in the Chinese market is expected to slow over this time period, it will be offset by increased demand from India. The pharma/biopharma industry accounts for 41 percent of the market and is expected to grow to $2.6 billion by 2028.
Looking ahead, the growth of the MS market will be driven by increased demand for UHR technologies, with North American customers accounting for about a third of this. This expansion will be led by life science and pharma/biopharma, fuelled by demand for biotherapeutic research.
The TQ LC/MS market is expected to increase by mid-single digits, again, fuelled by pharma/bio and clinical applications accounting for over half of the market. The SQ LC/MS market is expected to expand by mid-single digits annually, driven by demand from the pharma/bio and environ/food industries – making up over three fifths of the market.
SQ GC/MS systems are the workhorse of the market, accounting for about 70 percent of the total; however, demand for TQ instruments is expected to drive overall GC/MS market growth. The environmental/food end market and the public sector together are expected to make up about three-quarters of the GC/MS market as testing of pollutants and pesticides continues to drive demand.
The survey has 112 participants, representing nine end markets classified into pharma/biopharma, public sector, industrial, environmental and food, and applied/other. Over half of the respondents are from pharma/biopharma or contract research organisation (CRO) labs. As for their lab function, almost one third of respondents are from basic research labs, with another third from analytical services. The majority of the respondents’ job roles are supervisor/group lead, lab manager or director, in organisations with 2,001-10,000 full-time employees.
