Market Overview

Trace metal analysis is the process of finding and measuring minute amounts of metals in a variety of samples, including food, water, soil, and biological materials, using techniques like ICP-MS, AAS, or XRF. The market benefits from Canada's mining sector and environmental commitments, utilizing techniques like ICP-MS for high-sensitivity testing in pollution control and compliance. Stricter restrictions on the levels of hazardous metals, including lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium in the air, water, and soil, are being enforced by governments and international organizations.

From May 2024 to April 2025, 99 shipments of trace metal analysis were exported from Canada. With 44 exporters and 49 buyers, these exports represented a 30% increase over the previous 12 months. During this time, Canada exported 2 Trace Metal Analysis 34 37 to other countries in April of 2025 alone.

ALS Canada has improved its industry-leading testing services in the area of environmental metals analysis, including testing for trace metals, by implementing Triple Quadrupole ICPMS technology. One of the most cutting-edge technologies for metal analysis is QQQ-ICPMS.

Automated systems and ultra-trace detection technologies are used by large firms to create new products; for instance, advances in spectroscopy benefit the mining and healthcare sectors, and companies focus on development and research for long-term compliance solutions. Authorities' pollution prevention initiatives that enhance environmental cleanup operations are driving the widespread use of portable analyzers.
