Handheld NIR Spectrometers Research Report： the market size is projected to grow from USD 10 million in 2024 to USD 13 million by 2031

Handheld NIR spectrometers are portable and designed for quick, on-site measurements. They are ideal for raw material verification, crop quality assessment, and field food testing. Although slightly less precise than benchtop models, their convenience and real-time analytics significantly improve workflow efficiency. Modern units include batteries, wireless connectivity, and built-in models.

Increasing Demand: Growth is driven by expanding demand in food safety, pharmaceutical compliance, agriculture automation, and process optimization in industries like petrochemicals.

Advancements in Portable NIR Technologies: Breakthroughs in miniaturization and affordable sensors are opening up new application segments like field testing, retail, and home diagnostics.

Limited Spectral Information Compared to Mid-IR: NIR spectra are broad and overlapping, offering less molecular specificity than mid-infrared or Raman, which limits some applications.

According to the new market research report "Handheld NIR Spectrometers - Global Market Share and Ranking, Overall Sales and Demand Forecast 2025-2031", published by QYResearch, the global Handheld NIR Spectrometers market size is projected to grow from USD 10 million in 2024 to USD 13 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period.
