IR Spectroscopy Market to Reach USD 2.17 Billion by 2035, Fueled by Expanding Applications in Pharmaceuticals and Environmental Testing

IR Spectroscopy Market

The IR spectroscopy market is projected to exhibit steady growth from 2025 to 2035, supported by its growing application across pharmaceutical, chemical, food safety, and environmental monitoring sectors. Valued at USD 1,260 million in 2025, the market is forecast to reach USD 2,170 million by 2035, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0% during the assessment period. This growth trajectory reflects increasing demand for precise and non-destructive analytical techniques across regulated industries.

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy has become an essential tool for molecular structure analysis, quality assurance, and material identification. As regulatory compliance tightens and the need for efficient testing rises, IR spectroscopy provides fast, reliable, and cost-effective solutions. Its non-invasive nature makes it ideal for analyzing complex biological, chemical, and environmental samples without sample destruction.

Recent technological advancements, including miniaturization, portable devices, and integration with AI-based software, have broadened its usability beyond laboratories. Industries are now leveraging IR spectroscopy for real-time on-site analysis and automated quality control. As a result, its relevance continues to rise across industrial process monitoring, environmental screening, drug development, and food authenticity testing.
