Particle Size Analysis Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global particle size analysis market size reached nearly USD 415.99 Million in 2024. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.50% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a value of around USD 710.57 Million by 2034.

Key Trends in the Market

Particle size analysis is a technique employed to assess the distribution of particle sizes within a given sample. It plays a vital role in numerous scientific and industrial domains, including materials science, pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, and geology. This analysis entails measuring the range of particle sizes present in the sample and determining the proportion of particles within each size category.

• The particle size analysis market is experiencing a significant growth due to the growing demand for the technique from the pharmaceutical and life sciences sector. The pharmaceutical and life sciences sector requires precise particle size analysis for drug development, formulation optimsation, and quality control. The increasing focus on nanomedicine and nanotechnology has also bolstered the demand for characterising nanoparticles and nanostructures.
• Advancements in analytical instrumentation and imaging techniques have revolutionised particle size analysis. Instruments such as laser diffraction analysers, dynamic light scattering (DLS) devices, and scanning electron microscopes (SEM) have become more sophisticated, providing higher resolution and accuracy in particle size measurement.
• The increasing focus on environmental monitoring is a major particle size analysis market trend. The technique plays a vital role in environmental monitoring, especially in assessing air and water quality. Fine particulate matter, such as PM2.5 and PM10, pose significant health risks, hence monitoring their size distribution helps understand their sources, transmission, and impact on human health and the environment.
