Atomic Emission Spectroscopy Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)
Atomic Emission Spectroscopy Market Overview
Atomic Emission Spectroscopy Market Size is estimated to reach $6.4 billion by 2027 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% over the forecast period of 2022-2027. Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) is an analytical technique for determining and quantifying a material's elemental composition. Atomic emission spectroscopy uses a separate energy source from a flame, arc, plasma, or spark to force a sample material into a high-energy state. The identification of the element is determined by the wavelength of the atomic spectral line in the emission spectrum, while the intensity of the emitted light is correlated with the number of atoms in the element. Another method is to vaporize the sample and then excite it with a laser pulse or a spark between electrodes. The excitation source dissolves the sample, atomizes it, and then excites the atoms. Microwave-induced plasma, direct-current plasma, laser-induced plasma, laser-induced breakdown, inductively-coupled plasma, and other excitation sources are employed for these purposes. For instance, inductively coupled plasma is used in inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) to generate excited atoms and ions that produce electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths characteristic of a specific element. ICP-AES has an excellent limit of detection and linear dynamic range, as well as multielemental analysis capability.
The growing food and drug safety concerns, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and stringent regulation related to environmental protection are some of the factors driving the Atomic Emission Spectroscopy Industry growth during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy Market Drivers
Increasing health concern and prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancers, cardiovascular and nervous system diseases is boosting the market growth
Excessive amounts of heavy metals such as lead, zinc, cadmium, manganese, ectrepresent and others in human body increases the risk of cancers, cardiovascular and nervous system diseases. Excess of lead and cadmium can affect brain activity in children and can cause kidney stones in adults respectively. Atomic Emission Spectroscopy is used to identify the heavy metals as well as their health risk assessment in food and environment samples. For instance, contamination of heavy metals in soil can be caused in many ways, such as irrigation water, industrial emissions, and the use of manure which gets transferred to agricultural products.
