COVID-19 Impact on the Global Mobile Mass Spectrometers Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the operations of major customers of mobile mass spectrometers and may continue to disrupt their operations as a result of travel restrictions and/or business shutdowns, uncertainty in the financial markets, or other harm to their business and financial results

The decrease in revenue for a few players was also caused by pandemic-related delays in the delivery of certain microchips used in the production of mobile mass spectrometers
The pandemic is also expected to decrease technology spending and adversely affect the demand for portable mass spectrometer platforms and services. In addition, as a result of work and travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, all field sales and professional service activities such as customer training events are being conducted remotely.

Mobile Mass Spectrometers Market Dynamics

Driver: Technological advancements

The evolution in design and performance of portable mass spectrometer systems has changed drastically in the past 20 years as they continue to advance towards high performance with chemical and/or matrix-specific proficiency depending on the area of application.

Capabilities afforded by portable mass spectrometer systems are beneficial to these end users because it enables adjustments to both operational and strategic decisions in real-time.

 These improvements in technology are expected to result in the rapid commercialization of mobile mass spectrometer systems. For instance, the market for security applications is growing due to ongoing advancements such as inbuilt compound libraries.

Restraints: Premium product pricing

Majority of commercially available portable MS systems are not universally suitable for large groups of users. They are still individually custom-built for specific applications.
Therefore, these systems are equipped with advanced features and functionalities and thus are high priced. Moreover, these instruments need periodic maintenance, leading to the increased overall cost of the equipment. This may restrain the growth of the mobile mass spectrometers market.

Opportunities: Increased industrial activities in emerging markets

Increase in industrialization in regions such as the Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa has increased awareness among the people regarding environmental pollution and degradation. This has resulted in the implementation of numerous environmental protection acts. Because of the increase in pollution and environmental contamination, several amendments and new environmental safety standards are expected to be set up mainly in the developing economies in the next five years.

The progressive development of new testing methods for testing samples of contaminants such as pesticide residues, heavy metals, and organic chemicals is expected to play an important role in promoting the growth of the mobile mass spectrometers market.

Challenges: Technical limitations related to product efficacy

It is reported that quantitative measures of performance such as resolution and detection limits are poorer in mobile mass spectrometers compared to those obtained with the corresponding conventional laboratory systems. This is primarily due to mechanical errors being relatively large compared to the scale of the miniaturized system.

By application, Environmental testing is the key application of mobile mass spectrometers. Rising global demand for in situ environmental monitoring is expected to drive the mobile mass spectrometer market. Moreover, regulations and legislations set forth by government organizations have triggered the testing, inspection, and certification of environmental samples tested by the government and manufacturing companies. Regulatory bodies have introduced guidelines for regulating the inspection, sampling, and testing services of environmental samples to detect the presence of pollutants and contaminants. These bodies have introduced various programs to generate awareness and set testing specifications to ensure the safety of the environment and reduce the health risks associated with a polluted environment.

By region, North America accounted for the largest market share in the mobile mass spectrometers market in 2020. A number of factors, such as growing greater government focus on narcotics detection and homeland security and opioid crisis are driving the growth of the North American mobile mass spectrometers market.  Moreover, in North American region the regulatory bodies are closely monitoring the safety and quality of the environment to establish environmental safety across the geographies.
