Spectrometry Innovation on Display: Thermo Fisher at ArabLab 2025

We are delighted to confirm our participation at ArabLab 2025, held from 23–25 September at the Dubai World Trade Centre. At this year’s exhibition, BCL will be joined by Thermo Fisher Scientific to present a suite of spectrometry solutions that define global standards. The ArabLab 2025 exhibition will be witnessing a diverse range of laboratory technologies, and our showcase reflects both innovation and relevance to Middle Eastern markets.

The regional spectrometry market is on a strong upward curve, valued at USD 615 million in 2025 and projected to cross USD 1.12 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 7.8 percent. With the UAE alone contributing over 18 percent of this share, demand for advanced analysis systems is evident. Against this backdrop, our presence at ArabLab 2025 highlights the solutions that industries rely on to ensure safety, quality, and efficiency.

ARL iSpark Plus: Inclusion Analysis with Confidence

In industries such as automotive and aerospace, material purity is non-negotiable. The ARL iSpark Plus answers this demand with powerful optical emission spectrometry that identifies and quantifies inclusions in steel. The smallest shifts in material composition can impact overall performance, which is why inclusion analysis continues to be significant in labs and production lines.

OPTIM’X and PERFORM’X: XRF Solutions Across Industries

For cement plants, mining sites, and petrochemical operations, XRF spectrometers remain indispensable. Thermo Fisher’s OPTIM’X and PERFORM’X deliver precise elemental analysis in bulk samples, thin films, and liquids, supporting decisions that affect structural integrity and compliance.

Why regional demand is strong:

• UAE represents 18.27% of the Middle East spectrometer market.
• Saudi Arabia leads with 30.13%, reflecting the concentration of oil and gas operations.
• Egypt and Qatar together contribute over 22%, driven by construction and energy requirements.

With this regional uptake, OPTIM’X and PERFORM’X demonstrate why XRF analysis continues to be central to both production and regulatory frameworks.

XRD Systems: Structure, Phase, and Performance

Beyond elemental composition, modern industries require insight into structure and phases. Thermo Fisher’s XRD systems allow laboratories to identify crystalline phases, quantify mixtures, and monitor transformations under varied conditions. Applications range from pharmaceuticals to advanced materials research.

The Middle East molecular spectroscopy segment, closely tied with XRD adoption, is projected to grow at a 7% CAGR from 2025 to 2031, reflecting strong investment in academic research, food safety, and environmental monitoring. This momentum ensures that XRD analysis will remain critical in laboratories across the region.
