According to Nova one advisor, the global Mass Spectrometer market size was valued at USD 6.9 billion in 2021 and is predicted to hit USD 13.18 billion by 2030 with a registered CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030.
Mass spectrometer is an instrument used to identify unknown compounds via molecular weight determination to quantify or identify the known compounds from a given sample and determine the structure and chemical properties of molecules. The particles are ionized and beamed through electromagnetic fields and the way they are reflected indicates that these can be identified. The mass spectrometer market includes liquid chromatography, ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry), gas chromatography, and MALDI-TOF. Mass spectrometer has applications in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, industrial chemistry, environmental testing, and food & beverage testing.

Increase in R&D Activities in Biotech and Pharma Industries to Boost Market
Funding in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry has increased. This trend is likely to continue in the near future, as various existing and new pharma and biotech companies are focusing on research and innovation of new techniques and tools such as mass spectrometers. For instance, Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry (IMS-MS) is rapidly gaining attention for improving metabolomic, lipidomic, and proteomic analyses. Thus, rise in R&D expenditure is expected to drive the global market demand for mass spectrometer. Companies invest in key areas such as personalized medicine and biopharmaceuticals. They are also investing in innovative products such as mass spectrophotometer.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, a federal agency within the legislative branch of the U.S. Government, the pharmaceutical industry spent around US$ 83 Bn specifically on R&D in 2019. Moreover, according to information published by the EU industrial R&D investment scoreboard 2018, the pharmaceutical & biotechnology segment constitutes 18.9% of overall global R&D expenditure.
Surge in Adoption of Mass Spectrometers in Food & Beverage Industry to Drive Demand for Mass Spectrometers
Mass spectrometry is a versatile technology for the analysis of food and beverages combined with food contact materials such as packaging. It offers key advantages of high selectivity, sensitivity, and least response time. It enables direct molecular characterization of various raw food samples with minimal/no sample pre-treatment. Having the excellent specificity and sensitivity of analysis, it has been significantly used in food science and industries. Hazards ranging from heavy metals to pesticides and toxins can be identified using mass spectrometry, even if present in low quantity. In April 2019, Agilent Technologies, Inc., an analytical instrumentation development and manufacturing company, introduced a new mass spectrometry solution, ‘6546 quadrupole time-of-flight LC/MS system.’ This spectrometer enables rapid testing for food authenticity, with results that are easier and more convenient to check.
High Demand for Liquid Chromatography
In terms of product, the global mass spectrometer market has been classified into liquid chromatography, ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry), gas chromatography, and MALDI-TOF. The liquid chromatography segment accounted for large market share for mass spectrometer in 2021. The segment is expected to grow at a high CAGR from 2022 to 2031. Technological advancements in mass spectrometry, rise in demand for qualitative & quantitative analysis of the molecules used for drug discovery, and increase in analysis of contaminants in the environment & food are expected to drive the mass spectrometer market in the near future.
