Spectroscopy Software Market Report 2025

The spectroscopy software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.33 billion in 2024 to $1.49 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for analytical instrumentation, rising adoption of automated laboratory solutions, growing emphasis on quality control in pharmaceuticals, expanding application of spectroscopy in environmental monitoring, and an increasing need for efficient data processing tools.

The spectroscopy software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.33 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The projected growth during the forecast period is driven by the increasing use of cloud-based laboratory software, a heightened need for remote and real-time data access, growing investments in life sciences and chemical research, rising demand for high-throughput analytical instruments, and the expanding appeal of multi-technique spectroscopy platforms. Key trends expected during this period include progress in AI-driven spectroscopy analysis, the development of intuitive and customizable software interfaces, the merging of spectroscopy software with laboratory information management systems (LIMS), enhancements in cloud-based data storage and sharing, and advancements in tools for real-time spectral monitoring.

The rising consumer demand for food safety is contributing significantly to the growth of the spectroscopy software market. Food safety involves practices and conditions that maintain the quality of food and prevent contamination and foodborne illnesses. As the food supply chain becomes more globalized, the risk of contamination during production, processing, and distribution increases. Spectroscopy software supports food safety by enabling rapid, non-destructive analysis of food products. It can detect contaminants, verify ingredient authenticity, and monitor quality parameters throughout the supply chain. For example, in April 2024, the Public Interest Research Group (PIRG), a US-based nonprofit organization, reported that food and beverage recalls in the United States rose by 8% in 2023 compared to 6% in 2022. This trend highlights the growing emphasis on food safety, which is fueling demand for spectroscopy software.

Companies in the spectroscopy software market are increasingly developing innovative solutions, such as interactive reporting tools, to enhance data visualization and enable more in-depth analysis. These tools allow users to explore, filter, and visualize spectroscopy data in real time, supporting faster and more informed decisions across scientific and industrial applications. For instance, in June 2023, Mirion Technologies, Inc., a US-based technology and manufacturing company, launched Genie 4.0, a major update to its spectroscopy software. Genie 4 features interactive reports, improved accuracy through advanced algorithms, and enhanced automation via Python-based scripting. Designed for both new and experienced users, it facilitates a smooth transition and offers flexible licensing options, including subscription and perpetual models. The new version is scheduled for release in mid-July.

In April 2023, Photonis, a technology company based in France, acquired Telops Inc., a Canadian high-tech firm known for its hyperspectral imaging systems and spectroscopy software. This acquisition is intended to enhance Photonis’ technological capabilities by integrating Telops’ expertise in infrared and hyperspectral imaging. The move expands Photonis’ range of advanced imaging and analytical solutions and positions the company to enter the North American methane detection market. This strategic acquisition supports Photonis’ aim to address growing environmental monitoring needs and strengthens its presence in precision sensing and data-driven applications.

The spectroscopy software market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing services such as software integration services, technical support and training services, instrument control and automation for spectroscopic devices, custom report generation, and real-time monitoring and alerts. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The spectroscopy software market consists of sales of raman spectroscopy software, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) software, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy software, terahertz spectroscopy software, and hyperspectral imaging software. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.
