Colorimeter Market Size

Colorimeter Market size was valued at USD 1 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to surpass USD 2.4 billion by 2037, registering a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast timeline i.e. 2025-2037. In 2025, the industry size of colorimeter is evaluated at USD 1 billion.

The colorimeter market is experiencing tremendous growth, driven by the critical role of colorimeter in diverse applications ranging from environmental monitoring to food and beverage quality control. In addition, they act as an essential tool in both laboratory and industry settings. Furthermore, growing requirements for high accuracy and reliability in analytical equipment that find its application in pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and environmental science. As regulatory standards grow stringently, organizations are forced to move on to more robust high-end colorimetric solutions that comply with quality assurance techniques.

Apart from this, increased sensitivity towards water quality problems has pushed many organizations to invest in colorimetry which helps in the monitoring of contaminants in drinking water and in wastewater treatment processes. For instance, in July 2022, METTLER TOLEDO established a new level of standards through its EasyPlus UV/VIS instrument line, especially when dealing with water analysis. It is one compact instrument that measures spectrum scans, watercolors, and substances in water.

Technological advancements such as the portable colorimeter with better user interfaces and connectivity features, enable real-time data collection and analysis, thereby making the device accessible for field applications. For instance, in November 2023, StellarNet announced the launch of ColorWiz Series 3 Handheld Colorimeter. It is a rugged and easy-to-use, research-grade spectrometer for field testing of color with no additional setup required. Thus, these instruments are used in reliable testing, field demonstrations, installations, R&D, and quality control.
