Global Total Organic Carbon Analyzer Market Trends, Forecast Report 2025-2037
Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer Market size is anticipated to grow by USD 1.32 billion, with a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. By the year 2025, the total organic carbon analyzer industry’s worth is projected to be around USD 1.37 billion.
The increasing demand for water and wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) in various industries is the principal force, boosting demand for TOC analyzers. Stringent environmental regulations and high focus on monitoring water quality, particularly in the pharmaceuticals and semiconductor industries, support the demand. TOC analyzers have advantages over conventional analyzers by providing fast, accurate, and reliable measurements of organic carbon levels. APAC, Latin America, and North America are some regions that are projected to offer significant opportunities to TOC analyzer companies. This is because industrialization, urbanization, and environmentally related issues have been rapidly growing in these regions. For instance, in June 2023, Swan Analytical launched the compact version of its AMI LineTOC monitor for pure and ultrapure water systems. The new TOC analyzer developed is easy to set up and operate, fully meeting the requirements of the industrial segment, and also suitable for continuous medical water for injection and pure water monitoring in the pharmaceutical and associated industries, as well as ultrapure water in the semiconductor industry.
Investments in research and development are likely to further drive industries toward investment in upgrading their monitoring infrastructure, which is expected to boost the demand for TOC analyzers going ahead. Some companies are developing TOC analyzers with the latest technologies and strategic initiatives to tap into this opportunity. For instance, in February 2020, Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD) developed the TOC Analyzer, a precise and reliable Total Organic Carbon monitor for carbon levels at WWTPs. This analyzer is highly resistant to harsh conditions at the WWTPs. This, therefore, places the industry working towards innovation through improvement and new, technically advanced, sophisticated TOC analyzers.
Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers:
- Growing demand for TOC analyzers in the pharmaceutical industry - Stringent water quality standards in the pharmaceutical industry are turning into guidelines for companies due to the requirement of ultrapure water in manufacturing processes. One key recent development in the sector exemplifies this growth. In March 2020, Suez Water Technologies & Solutions launched its TrueSense PRO Series TOC Analyzer, specifically engineered for pharmaceutical-grade water monitoring. This launch underlines the sector's commitment to technological innovation in meeting growing demands for water purity in pharmaceutical manufacturing, underlining the heightened sophistication of TOC analyzers in the industry's arsenal in tackling complex industry challenges.
- Regulatory compliance- Stringent regulations by health and environmental authorities worldwide mandate the monitoring and control of organic carbon levels in various applications. As a result, the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP), and Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP) have recognized TOC as a mandatory test executed on purified water and water for injection (WFI). Such regulatory compliance encourages the adoption of TOC analyzers in industries for systematic strategies and quality of the product.
- Increasing demand for water and wastewater treatment- With rapid industrialization and urbanization, the demand for proper treatment of both water and wastewater is increasing multifold, especially in developing countries. According to a UNEP report, wastewater production is projected to rise significantly by 2030. This greater demand for water treatment, added to the benefits of TOC analyzers over traditional methods.
Challenges:
- High initial investment and maintenance - TOC analyzers are expensive in terms of equipment, installation, operation, and maintenance. Among the key end users are SMEs and research institutions, which typically have limited budgets; therefore, these high upfront costs are quite a challenge to the growth of the total organic carbon (TOC) analyzer market and diffusion of TOC technology.
- Technical complexity - TOC analyzers are technically sophisticated devices whose operation and interpretation of results require technical expertise. Device complexity can, therefore, be a barrier for industries or regions that lack access to sufficient numbers of appropriately trained personnel. According to the Joint Committee for Guides in Metrology, the increased complexity in some measurement methods gives additional sources of uncertainty, hence less accuracy.
