Driving Factors

The flourishing of the whole fluorescence spectrophotometer market can be attributed to the relentless laboratory demand for speedy, accurate and high-throughput analysis. The growing need for quick diagnostic results, and more case studies in healthcare research, are some of the factors that have increased the demand for these instruments through the ability of the fluorescence spectrophotometer to processing massive samples simultaneously. These gadgets are equally important in the drug development process where drug screening, DNA/RNA analysis, and protein quantification are the applications with precision being the major factor. For instance, fluorescence spectroscopy has become the leading method for drug candidate screening due to its capability of detecting biomolecular interactions and conducting gene expression studies with the highest sensitivity among other methods.

Restraining Factors

In spite of the fact that the market for fluorescence spectrophotometers is on a positive growth trajectory, it still faces some obstacles, which could slow down its growth. One of the main limitations is that these instruments are very expensive, and hence, their use is restricted to big research labs or large academic institutions with big budgets, mainly in developing countries. The initial investment to purchase a fluorescence spectrophotometer, in addition to the need for regular calibration and maintenance, may turn off some customers.
