NIR Moisture Meters and Components Market

NIR Moisture Meters and Components Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2016 - 2024

The determination of moisture is a critical factor in manufacturing to maintain product quality. Moisture analysis is applicable across multiple industries where moisture content is highly controlled. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is used to identify water content in a wide range of materials. NIR moisture meter is a moisture control and measurement system designed for continuous monitoring of products and uses near infrared reflectance (NIR) technology. This information is used to determine whether the product is ready for use or is in need of further inspection.

Near-infrared (NIR) analysis offers numerous benefits over conventional analysis methods. Additionally, the benefit of accurate results in short period of time has encouraged utilization of NIR moisture meters in manufacturing companies. This technique measures qualitative and quantitative moisture content, thus reducing over-processing of products and enhancing production. However, increased usage of spectrometry in the drug safety process is expected to fuel the growth of NIR moisture meters and component market during the coming years. The focus of manufacturing companies on decreasing operating expenditure through better process control is additionally driving the market growth. The lack of skilled labor is a key challenge for the players operating in this market.

NIR moistures meters and components market can leverage the opportunities generated by the emerging markets such as China and India during coming years.
