An airborne particle counters is a device that counts and sizes the particles in a sample of air. The laser diffraction particle counter is the most popular type of airborne particle counter, which scatters particles in a sample with laser light and then detects the intensity and angle of the scattered light to estimate the size and the number of particles. During the forecast period, these are expected to be the key variables influencing particle counters market size.
The portable sub-segment is anticipated to be the fastest growing in the market during the forecast period. A portable particle counter is a high-tech monitoring equipment that calculates the total volume of contaminants in particulate matter. The counter aids in the detection of contaminants in surfaces, liquids, or air. Portable particle counters are easy to transport and handle. Also, portable particle counters are designed to save time and money and are easy to handle. Portable particle counters are in high demand in the aerospace, automotive, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, and food and beverage industries.
The offline particle counters sub-segment witnessed a dominant market share in 2021. Offline particle counting device is a type of technology in which systems are not linked to the internet and do not depend on other devices or systems to handle data. This enables businesses for people who cannot afford an online system, a power supply, or appropriate space to invest in a quality product. These factors are expected to majorly influence the size of particle counters market during the forecast period.
By application, the cleanroom monitoring sub-segment dominated the particles counter market share in 2021. Particle counters are utilized for cleanroom personnel to maintain room cleanliness and immediately detect potential particle contamination sources. Particle counters keep cleanrooms safe and clean while reducing downtime and maintaining compliance. Due to the requirement to maintain a sterile and contamination-free environment, cleanrooms and monitored working areas are increasingly being employed to manufacture healthcare items. These factors are expected influence the market during the forecast period as well.
By industry vertical, the life sciences and medical device industry sub-segment witnessed a dominant market share in 2021. Life science field and medical device manufacturers and other regulated institutions are required to adhere to numerous rules and regulations regarding the storage, testing, and production of their products. There have special requirements to reduce the risk of particle contamination in these products, as these products are ultimately intended for use with ill patients. Life science professionals are required to demonstrate that critical product manufacturing environments are contamination-free.
By region, North America dominated the global market in 2031. The region has established economies such as the U.S. and Canada, giving it an advantage over other regions in terms of utilizing a highly developed platform for managing the air contamination. The United States has the world's largest pharmaceutical market, whereas Canada has the world's tenth largest pharmaceutical market. Owing to these factors, the demand for particle counters is robust in this region.
