Thermal Analysis Market

Thermal Analysis Market Insights

The global thermal analysis market is projected to experience a significant growth over the forecast period. The market is expected to be influenced by increased application of thermal analysis in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, petroleum, polymers, inorganic and organic chemicals among others.

Thermal analysis instruments usually measure weight loss, heat flow, dimension change, or mechanical properties as a function of temperature. Thermal analysis is extensively being used in industries due to its properties such as crystallization, glass transitions, cross-linking, oxidation, decomposition, volatilization, coefficient of thermal expansion, and modulus. These experiments enable the user to examine end-use performance, composition, processing, stability, molecular structure, and mobility. Technological Advancements such as computational thermal analysis processes’ are further projected to boost the market growth over the coming years.

Thermal Analysis Market: Method Insights

On the basis of method, the global thermal analysis market is classified into thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, pressurized TGA, Thermo mechanical analysis, Dilatometry, and Evolved gas analysis.

Differential Thermal Analysis segment is further segmented into Single-function DTA and Multi-function Instrument. DTA helps in detecting the changes which are associated with the amount of heat absorbed or released.

Thermogravimetric Analysis segment is anticipated to gain significant traction over the coming years. Thermogravimetric Analysis is used for investigating thermal stability of solid or liquid materials in a particular atmospheric condition. TGA can also be used at a constant temperature to assess thermal stability of materials over a specific time span.

Thermal Analysis Market: Application Insights

The global thermal analysis market is segregated into Organic compounds, Inorganic compounds, Pharmaceuticals, Petrochemicals, Plastics, Foodstuffs, and Materials, based on applications.

Thermal analysis of organic compounds is a standard method for research and quality control and is mainly used to characterize the physical properties of substances. The demand for this segment is likely to increase over the years, as a small amount of sample is required to measure important characteristics and associated properties such as melting and specific heat capacity among others.

Thermal Analysis of Pharmaceuticals offers reliable and versatile characterization tools for improvement and development of pharmaceutical products. The growth of this segment is likely to be influenced by high demand for advanced drugs, formulations, and excipients.

Thermal analysis techniques enable users to deal with problems related to processing and quality of oil and oil-based products in the petrochemical sector. Thermal analysis can be applied for research and quality control in the manufacture of lubricants and petrochemicals and refinery processes.

Thermal Analysis Market: Regional Insights

North America is likely to witness a substantial growth over the coming years owing to increased R&D investments in pharmaceutical sector.
