The chemical measuring instrument market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.77 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for accurate chemical analysis, growth in pharmaceutical and biotech research, expansion of process optimization initiatives, rise in global industrial growth, and increasing monitoring requirements in the energy sector. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in digital instrumentation, development of advanced sensor technologies, progress in real-time data analytics, miniaturization of devices, and innovation in portable and handheld instruments.

The growing focus on personalized medicine is driving the demand for chemical measuring instruments. Personalized medicine tailors healthcare decisions and treatments to an individual’s genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, allowing for more effective and precise care. Advances in genomics and molecular diagnostics have led to a shift towards treatments based on a patient’s genetic profile, improving the effectiveness of therapies while minimizing side effects. Chemical measuring instruments play a crucial role in this process by providing precise analysis of biological samples, monitoring drug interactions, and characterizing molecular and chemical properties. This allows clinicians and researchers to design targeted therapies tailored to individual patients. For instance, in February 2024, the Personalized Medicine Coalition reported that the FDA approved 16 new personalized treatments for rare diseases in 2023, compared to only six in 2022, signaling a significant increase in targeted therapeutic options. As personalized medicine continues to grow, the demand for chemical measuring instruments is expected to rise.

Advancements in surface energy analysis are helping companies improve measurement accuracy, enhance material characterization, and optimize chemical process monitoring. Surface energy analysis is used to measure a material’s surface energy, providing insights into how materials interact, their adhesion properties, and overall surface behavior. This technique is particularly important for applications that require a deeper understanding of how materials will perform in various conditions. For example, in October 2024, DataPhysics Instruments, a Germany-based manufacturer, launched the Portable Contact Angle Goniometer PCA 200, a device designed to measure surface wettability and contact angles with high precision. Combining portability and ease of use, this instrument is designed for both laboratory and field applications. It aims to offer researchers a more accurate and flexible solution for evaluating surface properties and supporting chemical process monitoring.

In August 2023, Emerson Electric Co., a US-based technology and engineering company, acquired FLEXIM, a German company specializing in non-intrusive ultrasonic flow measurement solutions for industrial and chemical process applications. This acquisition strengthens Emerson's portfolio in flow measurement and process automation technologies, expanding its capabilities in chemical measuring instruments. FLEXIM’s expertise in flow measurement further enhances Emerson's ability to provide precise monitoring solutions for chemical processes, making it an essential player in the growing market for chemical measuring instruments.

The regions covered in chemical measuring instruments report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

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 swift increase in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the machinery sector by increasing costs for steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings critical components often imported from tariff-affected regions. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery now face squeezed margins, as many long-term contracts prevent immediate price adjustments. The uncertainty has also delayed investment in automation and smart machinery technologies, slowing productivity gains. To adapt, firms are accelerating local supplier development, redesigning products to use alternative materials, and leveraging predictive maintenance to extend equipment lifespans amid higher replacement costs.
