DUBLIN, July 01, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/25648k/elemental) has announced the addition of the "Elemental Analysis Market by Type (Organic, Inorganic), Technology (Destructive (ICP-AES, ICP-MS), Nondestructive (XRD, OES)), Application (Life Sciences, Food and Beverage Testing, Environment Testing) - Analysis & Global Forecasts to 2020" report to their offering.

The global market is segmented on the basis of types, technologies, and applications. By type, the market is categorized into organic elemental analysis and inorganic elemental analysis. In 2015, the inorganic elemental analysis segment is estimated to account for the larger share of the market. This segment is expected to grow at the higher rate during the forecast period.

The technologies predominantly used for elemental analysis are Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry, Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF). Both organic and inorganic elements can be identified using these technologies.

On the basis of technology, the market is divided into destructive and nondestructive technologies. In 2015, the nondestructive technologies segment is likely to account for the larger share of the market. However, the destructive technologies segment is expected to grow at the higher rate from 2015 to 2020.

The market, by application, is segmented into life sciences, food and beverage testing, environment testing, geology, and other application areas. In 2015, the environment testing segment is poised to account for the largest share of the market. However, the life sciences segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period.

The key factors that are expected to spur the growth of this market are the increasing use of X-ray fluorescence in medical research, growing food safety concerns, and increasing life science R&D spending. Moreover, emerging nations of India and China, increasing demand from applied markets, and requirement to comply with the revised chapter 231 of the U.S. Pharmacopeia are likely to create opportunities for elemental analyzers. However, high cost of elemental analysis equipment is likely to pose as a restraint for the growth of this market. Need for highly skilled professionals acts as a challenge in the global market.
