Segment Highlights

1. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
PTFE is the second-largest segment by type in the microplastic detection market due to its extensive use across industries such as automotive, construction, cookware, and electronics. Its durability leads to environmental persistence, with microplastics forming from product degradation caused by physical, chemical, or environmental factors. These particles can adsorb harmful chemicals, posing risks to ecosystems and human health, thereby driving the need for precise detection solutions.

2. FTIR Spectroscopy
Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy holds the second-largest share in the technology segment. Known for its specificity, FTIR can identify various polymers, including polyethylene and polystyrene, in environmental samples. This capability is critical for understanding microplastic pollution sources and composition. FTIR microscopes further enhance this technology by analyzing particle size, shape, and chemical composition at the microscopic level.

3. Soil as a Medium
Soil is the second-largest segment in the medium category, reflecting the significant role of agriculture, urban runoff, and plastic waste decomposition in soil microplastic contamination. Agricultural practices, such as using plastic mulch films and coated fertilizers, contribute to this issue, potentially impacting soil health, fertility, and microbial ecosystems, as well as introducing microplastics into the food chain.

4. Food & Beverages Industry
The food and beverage industry ranks second in the end-use segment, driven by growing concerns over microplastic contamination in food products like seafood, salt, and drinking water. Packaging, machinery, and environmental factors contribute to this contamination, compelling manufacturers to adopt detection solutions to ensure product safety and meet consumer demands.
