Home > News > Industry dynamicsElemental analysis is the process of detection and quantification of element compounds, molecular species and elements. It is part of analytical chemistry and can be qualitatively and quantitatively. The sample types of trace element detection including water and non-water, organic and inorganic materials.
As for organic chemist, elemental analysis means analysis of C、H、N、X elements, it is used to confirm the purity and construction of compound. In this technique, oxygen is usually pumped into to make the sample burn, thus collect the products of combustion carbon dioxide, nitric acid and water etc. the weight of products can be used to confirm sample composition.
With the latest technology and instruments, the detection limits of ultra-trace and trace element analysis can reach the level of ppm or ppb. The primary technology used for elemental analysis including inductively coupled plasma massspectrometry、Inductive coupling plasma optics emission spectroscopy、X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction etc.
some key driving factors of elemental analysis market, including growing concern in the field of food safety, X- ray fluorescence is more and more used in clinic research and R & D funds in the field of life science research growing continually. Besides, elemental analysis technology has already widely used in different industries, it has become a global market of analytical instrumentation technology. There are also some other regions market driving factors, like India, China and other emerging market demand is expected to create opportunities for the elemental analysis of the market in the future. However, high cost 、efficient and professional operators of elemental analyzer has restrained market growth.
Global elemental analysis market can be classified on the basis of type、technology、application and region. Based on technology, it can be divided into destructive technology and nondestructive technology. Nondestructive technology estimated to occupy more market share in 2015. Based on type, it can be divided into organic elemental analysis and inorganic elemental analysis, inorganic elemental analysis estimated to occupy more market share in 2015. Based on application, it can be divided into life science、food and drinks、environment、geology etc. it is estimated that environmental testing will occupy the most market share in 2015.
Based on region, global elemental analysis market can be divided into North American、Europe、Asia and other areas including Latin American、Pacific countries、the Middle east and Africa. North American will occupy the most market, then Europe and Asia in 2015. Elemental analysis obtained huge development in the North American market, the main reason is the rapid development of the technology in various application areas, like food and drinks、biotechnology、chemistry and semiconductor industries etc. However, in expected future, Asia-Pacific market will increase conspicuously, mainly due to enhanced awareness of elemental analysis in China and India market, as well as the growing applications market demand. Besides, Manufacturer in China for strategic expansion and application of modern elemental analysis technology in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, it has the possibility to develop elemental analysis of the Asia-Pacific market.
