DUBLIN, April 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Portable Analytical Instruments Market by Product (pH Meters, Conductivity and Resistivity Meters, TOC Analyzers), Technology (XRF, FTIR, LIBS, NIR & Elemental Analysis), End Users (Food and Beverage Industry), Geography - Global Forecast to 2020" report to their offering.

The portable analytical instruments market is expected to reach USD 9.55 Billion by 2020 from USD 8.10 Billion in 2015, growing at a CAGR of 3.3% between 2015 and 2020.

Growing food and environmental concerns, availability of low-cost and easy-to-operate portable analytical instruments, and increasing healthcare expenditure are key factors expected to drive the growth of the market. Strategic expansions of key market players in APAC and industry initiatives towards development of novel products will provide opportunities for market growth.

This report segments the global portable analytical instruments market by product, technology, and end user. The global market product segments are TOC analyzers, dissolved carbon dioxide & oxygen meters, titrators, refractometers, pH meters, spectrometers, gas analyzers, conductivity & resistivity meters, colorimeters, thermal analyzers, and others (thermometers and balances). In 2015, the pH meters segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global market.

Based on technology, the market is segmented into spectroscopic analysis, elemental analysis, and others (thermal analysis and electrochemical analysis). Spectroscopic analysis is further segmented into X-ray fluorescence (XRF), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), and others (ion mobility spectroscopy and spectral imaging). In 2015, the spectroscopic analysis segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global portable analytical instruments market as this technique is commonly employed for various applications that require high precision and accuracy, such as food and beverage testing, drug testing, environmental testing, and academic and research.

On the basis of end users, the global portable analytical instruments market report is segmented into food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, environmental testing industry, and academic and government institutions. With the increasing stringent regulations regarding food safety, the food and beverage industry is the largest end user for market.

The geographic segments included in this report are North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW). North America is further segmented into the U.S. and Canada. In 2015, North America is expected to command the largest share of the global portable analytical instruments market due to the presence of major key players in this region, thereby, increasing its market share. With the rising food, environment, and drug safety concerns in Asia-Pacific, the demand for portable analytical instruments in this region is expected to grow, which in turn will compel the key players to expand their geographical presence in this region. Therefore, the strategy of expansions by the key players in this region is fueling the growth of this market.

Major players in the global portable analytical instruments market are Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. (U.S.), B&W Tek (U.S.), Danaher Corporation (U.S.), Bruker Corporation (U.S.), and Shimadzu Corporation (Japan). Other players in this market are Agilent Technologies (U.S.), Teledyne Technologies, Inc. (U.S.), Spectris plc (U.K.), Jasco Inc. (U.S.), and HORIBA Ltd. (Japan).
