Moisture Analyzer Global Market Report 2024

A moisture analyzer is a device designed to determine the moisture content through the loss of the drying method and typically comprises a weighing and heating unit. Its purpose is to measure the moisture content in small samples of various products, including solids, liquids, and gases, during manufacturing or processing.

The primary types of moisture analyzers include desktop, handheld, and in-line variants. A desktop moisture analyzer is employed for highly accurate measurements of a sample's weight before and after the drying process. Various analyzing techniques are utilized, such as loss-on-drying, Karl Fischer titration, microwave, capacitance, drying, Owen, near-infrared, radiofrequency, and other methods. These analyzers find applications in diverse industries, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, petroleum, food and beverage, wood, paper, and pulp, construction, water treatment, biomass, semiconductors, metals, mining, and more.

Therefore, the rise in industrial and process automation is a key driver of the moisture analyzer market's growth.

The moisture analyzer market is expected to experience growth due to the rapid expansion of the food and beverage sector. This sector encompasses the manufacturing, processing, transportation, and sale of food and beverages for human consumption. Moisture analyzers are essential instruments in ensuring product quality, safety, and compliance with industry standards, enhancing the overall effectiveness of food manufacturing operations. According to the National Restaurant Association, food and beverage sales in the food service and restaurant sectors were projected to increase by 19.7% to $789 billion in 2021. Thus, the significant growth of the food and beverage sector is a key factor propelling the moisture analyzer market.

A prominent trend in the moisture analyzer market is the emergence of strategic partnerships. Major companies in this market are actively seeking partnerships to meet consumer demand. For example, Vector Controls and Automation Group, a US-based manufacturer of moisture analyzers, partnered with SpectraSensors, a US-based manufacturer of laser-based analyzers and sensors in January 2021. This collaboration allows Vector CAG to sell SpectraSensors products in specific states, enhancing their market presence.

Companies operating in the moisture analyzer market are emphasizing innovation to better meet consumer needs. Innovative moisture analytical instruments utilize advanced technologies and methods to accurately measure the moisture content in various substances, contributing to improved quality control and process optimization in industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and research. For instance, in March 2021, AMETEK MOCON, a US-based manufacturer of moisture analyzers, launched AQUATRAN 3/40, a laboratory equipment designed to determine the water vapor transmission rate of whole packages under precisely regulated conditions. This innovation is crucial for package penetration analysis in industries like food, beverage, and medical packaging.

In January 2022, KPM Analytics Inc., a US-based scientific instrumentation company, acquired Bruins Instruments strengthening Bruins Instruments' position in the moisture analyzer market.
