Chemical Measuring Instrument Market Report 2026

The chemical measuring instrument market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.67 billion in 2025 to $7.16 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of pharmaceutical manufacturing, growth in environmental monitoring activities, increasing industrial process control needs, availability of advanced analytical technologies, rising regulatory compliance requirements.

The chemical measuring instrument market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.37 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of real-time chemical monitoring, rising investments in laboratory automation, expansion of water quality testing, growing focus on sustainable chemical processes, increasing demand for data-driven analytics. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of digital chemical analysis instruments, rising demand for high-accuracy measurement systems, growing integration with automated monitoring platforms, expansion of portable chemical analyzers, enhanced compliance with regulatory standards.

The growing focus on personalized medicine is expected to drive the growth of the chemical measuring instrument market going forward. Personalized medicine refers to a medical approach that tailors treatment and healthcare decisions to an individual’s genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors for more effective and precise care. This focus is increasing due to advances in genomic and molecular diagnostics, as patients and healthcare providers seek treatments tailored to individual genetic profiles to improve efficacy and reduce side effects. Chemical measuring instruments support this shift by providing precise analysis of biological samples, monitoring drug interactions, and characterizing molecular and chemical properties, enabling clinicians and researchers to design targeted therapies customized to individual patient needs. For example, in February 2024, the Personalized Medicine Coalition reported that in 2023, the FDA approved 16 new personalized treatments for rare disease patients, compared to six in 2022, representing a significant rise in targeted therapeutic options. Therefore, the growing emphasis on personalized medicine is driving the expansion of the chemical measuring instrument market.

Major companies in the chemical measuring instruments market are increasingly emphasizing technological innovations, such as advanced surface energy analysis, to enhance measurement accuracy, improve material characterization, and optimize chemical process monitoring. Advanced surface energy analysis is used to determine a material’s surface energy, offering insights into its interactions, adhesion characteristics, and overall surface behavior. For example, in October 2024, DataPhysics Instruments, a Germany-based manufacturing company, introduced the Portable Contact Angle Goniometer PCA 200, designed to measure surface wettability and contact angles with high precision. This portable and user-friendly instrument supports both laboratory and field applications, providing researchers with a more accurate and flexible solution for evaluating surface properties and improving chemical process monitoring.

In August 2023, Emerson Electric Co., a US-based technology and engineering company, acquired FLEXIM for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables Emerson to broaden its flow measurement and process automation portfolio by incorporating FLEXIM’s expertise in non-intrusive ultrasonic flow measurement solutions for industrial and chemical process applications. FLEXIM is a Germany-based technology and measurement solutions company that provides services for chemical measuring instruments.
