Mass Spectrometry : Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing R&D investments in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry
The R&D expenditure of pharmaceutical companies has increased significantly over the last two decades. Research activities in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are driven by investments in key areas, such as biopharmaceuticals and personalized medicine. According to the 2022 EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector amounts to 21.5% of total global R&D expenditure. Mass spectrometry plays a key role in the pharmaceutical industry, from the early stages of drug discovery to late-stage development and clinical trials. Thus, increasing funding in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry is expected to drive the growth of the mass spectrometry market.
Restraint: Premium Product Pricing
Equipped with advanced technologies and features spectrometry instruments are generally premium priced. With addition to that, the cost of compliance of the system to industry standards is also very high. Also, as academic research laboratories have controlled budgets it is difficult for them to afford such systems. However, technological developments and demand have increased system prices. Pharmaceutical companies require many such systems, and hence, the capital cost increases significantly. The price of a spectrometer influences the purchase decision of end users. These are the major factors limiting the adoption of mass spectrometry systems among end users.
Opportunity: Growth opportunities in emerging countries
Developing countries such as China and India present various opportunities for the growth of the mass spectrometry market. Together, China and India generate a huge demand for single mass spectrometers and hybrid spectrometry instruments due to the Greenfield projects being set up in various end-user industries in these countries. The biopharmaceutical industry in these countries is robust and is expected to contribute largely to the growth of the spectrometry and chromatography markets. Key industry players are establishing new facilities, R&D centers, and innovation centers to capitalize on this opportunity and engaging in collaborations with players in the Asian market.
Challenge: Dearth of Skilled Professionals
Skilled personnel with relevant experience and knowledge are required for the efficient use of spectrometry equipment. Errors such as misplacing a sample in GC-MS or LC-MS or issues such as fingerprints or bubbles in the solution can impact the quality of the final result. Moreover, in mass spectrometry, sample preparation (including aliquoting, dilution, and extraction) is a key step in isolating the analyte of interest. It eliminates interferences that could affect the precision of the result. The lack of knowledge regarding the right choice of technology also affects results and may incur direct and indirect expenses for end users. There is currently a dearth of skilled personnel for method development, validation, operation, and troubleshooting activities, which is expected to restrain the growth of the mass spectrometry market to a certain extent in the coming years.
