Particle Counters Market Expected to Reach $936.8 Million by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Particle Counters Market," The particle counters market size was valued at $365.30 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $936.8 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.3% from 2022 to 2031.

A particle counter is used for diagnosing and monitoring particle contamination within specific clean media, including water, air, and chemicals. Particle counters are used in a variety of applications in support of clean manufacturing practices. Particle counters are increasing at a rapid pace across a range of industries. These include the food & beverage, healthcare, and automotive industries. Ongoing research in pharma and their significance in several industries are also encouraging the growth of particle counters’ applications. Particle counters are extensively used in clean room facilities to investigate as well as track the source of contamination in these facilities.

However, the high cost of instruments is one of the major factors responsible for restraining the growth of this market. The implementation of particle counters requires high capital investments by customers. Such factors are estimated to limit the particle counters market growth during the analysis period.

Impact of Covid-19 on the Global Particle Counters Industry

• Sales of particle counters are directly proportional to the demand from automotive, life sciences and medical device industry, aerospace, and food industry. However, various sectors such as semiconductor and automotive were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic which has affected the production and demand for particle counters due to disrupted supply chain. On the other hand, it showed positive impact on healthcare industry in pharmaceutical and drug discovery sector.
• COVID-19 impacted some end-use industries and the particle counters-producing companies ceased their operations owing to import-export restrictions, lockdown imposed across several countries, and shortage of labor; the fear of contracting the novel coronavirus led to sluggish demand in the market.
• Social distancing norms, closed borders, and production constraints, due to the pandemic, across various countries such as China, India, and the U.S. have affected the global market.
