Raman Spectroscopy Global Market Report 2026

Raman spectroscopy is a sophisticated analytical method used to determine molecular composition and structure through light scattering. In business applications, it supports accurate material characterization, aiding in quality control, product development, and adherence to regulatory standards. Industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and semiconductors utilize this technique for rapid, non-destructive analysis.

The primary types of Raman spectroscopy systems include benchtop and portable instruments. Benchtop Raman spectroscopy devices are larger, stationary systems typically found in laboratories or fixed research environments. The technology incorporates several sampling methods, including surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS), and other Raman scattering techniques. It finds extensive application in various domains such as pharmaceuticals, academic research and development, industrial analysis, life sciences, materials science, carbon-based materials, semiconductors, and more.
