Major trends in the forecast period include advanced sensor technologies, incorporation of infrared moisture analyzers, integration with smart technologies, real-time monitoring and data logging, integration with laboratory information management systems.

The growth of the moisture analyzer market is anticipated to be fueled by the rise in industrial and process automation. This concept entails the use of intelligent technology in industrial processes to replace manual, repetitive tasks with highly efficient automated workflows. Moisture analyzers contribute to enhanced process automation and reduced labor requirements due to their speed, precision, intuitiveness, and comprehensive capabilities. They integrate the best practices while minimizing associated drawbacks. For example, in December 2023, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, based in Austria, reported a 2.3% growth in industrial sectors, which encompass manufacturing, mining, electricity, water supply, waste management, and other utilities, signifying a post-pandemic recovery. Manufacturing was a key contributor to this growth, increasing by 3.2%, whereas the combined mining and utilities sector - the largest contributor to the economy in low-income countries - saw a contraction of 0.9%. Projections for 2023 indicate a slowdown in manufacturing due to rising costs, tighter monetary conditions, geopolitical tensions, and disruptions in global supply chains. Hence, the rising trend of industrial and process automation is driving the growth of the moisture analyzer market.

The rapid growth of the food and beverage sector is anticipated to drive the moisture analyzer market in the coming years. This sector encompasses the manufacturing, processing, transportation, and sale of food and beverages intended for human consumption. Moisture analyzers are critical tools within the food and beverage industries, ensuring product quality, safety, and compliance with industry standards, which all contribute to the efficiency of food manufacturing operations. For instance, data from the Office for National Statistics, a government organization based in Wales, indicated that in March 2022, 31% of businesses in the food and beverage sector reported experiencing global supply chain challenges. To address these issues, more than half (55%) turned to UK-based suppliers, 37% diversified their supplier base, and 25% explored various freight options. In comparison, across all sectors, these figures were 50%, 43%, and 16%, respectively. Thus, the rapid expansion of the food and beverage sector is a significant driver of the moisture analyzer market.

Strategic partnerships have become a significant trend in the moisture analyzer market. Leading companies in this sector are actively seeking collaborations to better address consumer demand. For instance, in June 2024, Qualitest, an Israel-based company, launched a new series of Halogen Moisture Analyzers known as the QMA-E series. This series is designed for speed and efficiency, utilizing high-efficiency ring halogen lamps to provide rapid and uniform heating of samples. As a result, this design achieves a 40% increase in speed compared to traditional infrared heating methods.

Major companies in the moisture analyzer market are concentrating on developing innovative products to better satisfy consumer demands. These advanced moisture analytical instruments employ cutting-edge technologies and methods to accurately and efficiently measure moisture content in various materials, facilitating improved quality control and process optimization across industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and research. For example, in June 2024, KPM Analytics, a US-based company, launched the MCT560 Online NIR (Near Infrared) Sensor Series. This series is designed to tackle challenges in industrial manufacturing and food processing by providing precise measurements of parameters such as moisture, oil, coat weight, and temperature. By enhancing both accuracy and efficiency, the MCT560 series assists businesses in optimizing their processes and improving product quality.

In January 2022, KPM Analytics Inc., a US-based company specializing in scientific instrumentation, acquired Bruins Instruments for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances Bruins Instruments' position in the analyzer market. Bruins Instruments, based in Germany, is a manufacturer of high-resolution moisture analyzers.

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.
