and Raman spectroscopy are used for a long&lt;br&gt;
time in the context of the analysis of illicit drugs, and&lt;br&gt;
their use is increasing due to the development of more&lt;br&gt;
performant portable devices and easy application in the&lt;br&gt;
context of harm reduction through drug checking or&lt;br&gt;
onsite forensic analysis. Although these instruments are&lt;br&gt;
routinely used with a spectral library, the importance of&lt;br&gt;
chemometric techniques to extract relevant information&lt;br&gt;
and give a full characterisation of samples, especially in&lt;br&gt;
the context of adulteration, is increasing. This review&lt;br&gt;
gives an overview of the applications described in the&lt;br&gt;
context of the analysis of illicit drug products exploiting&lt;br&gt;
the advantages of the combination of spectroscopy with&lt;br&gt;
chemometrics. Next to an overview of the literature, the&lt;br&gt;
review also tries to emphasize the shortcomings of the&lt;br&gt;
presented research papers and to give an incentive to&lt;br&gt;
what is needed to include chemometrics as a part of the&lt;br&gt;
daily routine of drug checking services and mobile forensic&lt;br&gt;
applications.&lt;/p&gt;
