Refractometer market has been witnessing a transitional
phase in the recent years. Refractometer is an instrument used to measure
refractive index of materials. Constant advances in technologies and instant
growth in infrastructural advancement have triggered the growth of
refractometer market.
Functionally, there are two types of handheld refractometers
namely, analog & digital which work on the principle that light passing
through a prism has genuine characteristics. Such characteristics are known as
BRIX. When light passes through a dry prism, the view remains to be blue in an
analog refractometer. On the contrary, a digital refractometer throws an error
message. Both the types reveal that light is not being interfered with as it
goes through prism.
Other functions of refractometer comprise determination of
sample by comparing refractive index to initial known values. Besides,
assessing the genuineness of sample by comparing refractive index to the value
for pure substance and recognizing the concentration of a solute in a solution
in comparison to solution’s refractive index to a standard curve.
Commercially, refractometers are mainly used for measuring
substances in solutions specifically in sugar or salty solutions. Therefore,
growing inclination of consumers towards nutritional information among food
products leads to developing measures to analyze such information. Hence, with
such anticipation and initiatives, the refractometer market is expected to rise
at a higher CAGR during the forecast period.
The key driving factors responsible for the growth of
refractometer market include rise in technological developments resulting into
automatic measures for analyzing refractometry. Additionally, parametric
analysis with quality in food & beverage products also enhances market
growth during the forecast period. However, proper adjustment concerned with
manufacturers as it leads to low adoption among end users which hampers the
market growth during the forecast period. Overall, rising interest of
investors, favorable funding by government and growing trend of automation are
likely to project positive outcomes in upcoming years.
Refractometer market is segmented into portable and benchtop
refractometers, based on type. Refractometer market is segmented into gemology,
food processing, oil industry, pharmaceuticals, paint, research center, sugar
refineries and schools based on end-use. Refractometer market is segmented into
traditional handheld refractometers, laboratory refractometers, inline refractometers
and digital refractometers. Digital refractometers segment is expected to rise
at a higher CAGR during the forecast period.
Refractometer market spans North America, Latin America,
Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle-East & Africa. North America is anticipated to
rise at a higher CAGR during the forecast period owing to inclination towards
adoption of refractometers to analyze food & beverage industry. The key
players in the refractometer market include Anton Paar GmbH, Mettler-Toledo
International Inc., Rudolph Research Analytical, Hanna Equipments India Pvt.
Ltd., and Xylem Analytics.
