The increasing demand for biopharmaceuticals is expected to drive the growth of the Raman spectroscopy market in the coming years. Biopharmaceuticals are medical drugs produced using biotechnology, including proteins, nucleic acids, or living cells, for therapeutic or diagnostic use. This rising demand is fueled by their high effectiveness and targeted mechanisms of action, which result in improved treatment outcomes and fewer side effects. Raman spectroscopy plays a crucial role in biopharmaceutical development by enabling rapid, non-invasive molecular analysis and real-time monitoring of complex biological processes, ensuring consistent product quality during manufacturing and development. For instance, in January 2023, the Dubai World Trade Centre reported that the UAE pharmaceutical market is projected to reach $4.7 billion by 2025, supported by 23 manufacturing facilities and over 2,500 locally produced medications. Additionally, in 2022, PhRMA, a U.S.-based trade association, noted that the U.S. biopharmaceutical industry generated over $800 billion in direct output, significantly impacting the national economy. As a result, the growing demand for biopharmaceuticals is propelling the Raman spectroscopy market.
