A Survey of 281 FT-IR Users & Potential Users
FT-IR spectroscopy is an affordable, robust, and accurate technology used for the measurement of materials characterization. It has multiple technology segments fueling growth in high-demand arenas. Industrial demand is extremely diverse, ranging from a strong surge in general public safety to the pharma/bio application sector, where raw material and product inspection has proved to be a viable hot spot of growth. New technologies, such as terahertz and hyphenated systems are introducing new methods of analysis, with the market for these technologies still extremely ripe.

This report analyzes and presents the five technology segments of FT-IR including benchtop, microscope, portable, hyphenated, and terahertz instruments in terms of market demand and growth forecasts for each technology segment. Market data is supplemented with an extensive survey of 281 users. The survey uncovers purchasing patterns, preferences and other key factors when choosing their primary instrument, typically benchtop and microscope. The report also profiles consumers who are interested in purchasing an FT-IR instrument in the near future.
