A spectrophotometer is an instrument that measures the amount of photons (the intensity of light) absorbed after it passes through sample solution. With the spectrophotometer, the amount of a known chemical substance (concentrations) can also be determined by measuring the intensity of light detected. Furthermore, spectrophotometry is one of the most useful methods of quantitative analysis in various fields such as chemistry, physics, biochemistry, material & chemical engineering and clinical applications. For example, in biochemistry, it is used to determine enzyme-catalyzed reactions. In clinical applications, it is used to examine blood or tissues for clinical diagnosis.  Furthermore, according to a survey conducted by European Union (EU), research & development scoreboard reveals that in 2017 investments on overall R&D worldwide has increased by 5.8%, which is expected to support growth in spectrophotometer market globally. Moreover, recent development lies in instrumental fine tuning and slight alterations to allow new types of measurements. Advancements in the fields of biology and nanotechnology have created demand for new methods of measurement. Likewise, spectroscopy is leading the way in both health care and medical research as a novel tool for improving diagnostics, disease detection and sensing. Besides, optical spectroscopy has become important for many new applications. For example, short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) systems have proven highly effective in sorting, grading and quality control for material identification and continuous monitoring of a production line. Owing to all this recent trends in market, the coming years will witness a rise in the demand for these spectrophotometers and its applications, consequently driving the growth of this global market.
