Surface Analysis Global Market Report 2024

The surface analysis market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.48 billion in 2023 to $6.0 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to several factors. These include the rising demand across various industries for advanced surface analysis techniques, driven by the necessity for precise and dependable surface analysis in research and development endeavors. Furthermore, there has been an increased need for non-destructive testing and inspection techniques, along with the adoption of automation and robotics in manufacturing and industrial processes. Additionally, the trend towards miniaturization in the semiconductor and electronics industries has also contributed to this growth.

The surface analysis market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.68 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The projected expansion in the upcoming period stems from heightened emphasis on precise surface analysis within the semiconductor and electronics domains, a rising emphasis on environmental monitoring and analysis, increased demand for surface analysis systems within the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors, the necessity for real-time data and insights in manufacturing operations, and an escalating requirement for surface analysis within materials science research. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period encompass the incorporation of artificial intelligence, advancements in in-situ and in-operando techniques, and the adoption of multimodal imaging and correlative microscopy.

The surface analysis market is poised for growth due to increasing concerns about indoor air quality (IAQ). IAQ refers to the air quality within and around buildings, focusing on its impact on occupants' comfort and health. The rise in IAQ concerns stems from emissions from building materials, furniture, cleaning products, and cooking appliances, as well as inadequate ventilation and outdoor air pollution infiltration. Surface analysis plays a vital role in addressing IAQ concerns by identifying and quantifying pollutants and contaminants on various indoor surfaces. It helps pinpoint sources of indoor air pollutants like microbial growth, dust accumulation, or residues from cleaning products and building materials. For instance, in December 2023, the World Health Organization reported that household air pollution contributed to an estimated 3.2 million annual fatalities, including 237,000 deaths among children under five in 2020. Additionally, in April 2023, the American Lung Association noted that nearly 36% of Americans live in areas with unfavorable ozone or particle pollution ratings. These statistics highlight the urgency of addressing IAQ issues, driving demand for surface analysis solutions.

Leading companies in the surface analysis market are focusing on innovation, such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), to gain a competitive advantage. XPS is a surface analysis technique that provides insights into atomic composition, chemistry, and surface contamination of samples. For example, in May 2021, Thermo Fisher Scientific launched the Thermo Scientific Nexsa G2 surface analysis system, an automated XPS system designed to enhance productivity and innovation in academic and industrial labs. This system uses X-rays to analyze solid surfaces, providing detailed information about elemental composition and chemical states.

In September 2022, Park Systems acquired Accurion GmbH to strengthen its position in the surface analysis market. This strategic move allows Park Systems to expand its capabilities in atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nano-metrology solutions, enhancing its presence in Asian and European markets. Accurion GmbH, known for its surface measuring systems, adds valuable expertise to Park Systems' portfolio, enabling them to offer comprehensive surface analysis solutions to their customers.
