Particle Counter Market Overveiw
The global particle counter market was calculated at USD 473 Million in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 1,135.16 Million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10.9% in 2022-2030. There is an increasing need for particle counters to monitor air pollution levels, both indoors and outdoors. Particle counters measure the concentration of particles in the surrounding air regarding moisture, pollutants, soot particles, and others, making them crucial for measuring the air quality index. The growing concern about indoor pollution in enclosed spaces will drive the market’s growth. Furthermore, the increase in particle counters to monitor air pollution, the surge in manufacturing industries in developing countries, the escalation in high-tech industries, the rise in pharmaceutical and semiconductor industries, and the growing manufacturing sector in developing countries are driving the growth of the particle counter market.
What is a particle counter?
A particle counter is a device that detects and counts particles in the working environment. Particle counters are available in a variety of particle ranges. Particle counters are primarily used to monitor cleanrooms to keep cleanliness. Ultrafine particle detectors are most commonly utilized to detect ultrafine airborne particles in a cleanroom and other conditions similar to a cleanroom. It’s a useful tool for determining whether or not the working environment is suitable for starting work. Particles in the work environment may transmit bacterial or viral diseases, contaminate the product and cause severe loss.
Growth Driver
Growing adoption of airborne particle counters in pharmaceutical industries
Airborne Particle counters are commonly used for testing to maintain indoor air quality and to meet regulatory requirements set by the government and industry standards. An Airborne particle counter specially designed to measure the number of particles in the air. They provide users with the ability to measure airborne contaminants in samples. It checks air purity in measurement environments such as processing laboratories and pharmaceutical research facilities. Airborne particle control confirms personnel safety and maintains stable experimental conditions. Pharmaceutical particle counters help maintain the ultimate conditions for manufacturing and developing pharmaceutical products.
Opportunity
There is a growing need for portable particle counters.
The demand for portable and handheld particle counters is increasing in the pharmaceutical, automotive, oil & gas aerospace, food and beverage industries. Manufacturers focus on manufacturing portable particle counters that are easy to handle and can be measured in the field.
