The Future of Microscopy – An Overview of the $9.5 Billion Market
According to market research report, "Microscopy Market Size, Growth by Product (Microscope, Software, Accessories), Type (Optical Microscope (Stereo, Digital), Electron Microscope (SEM, TEM), AFM, STM), Application (semiconductor, life science), End User (Industrial, Research) - Global Forecast to 2027", is projected to reach USD 9.5 billion in 2027, at CAGR of 5.8%.
Recent advances in microscopy techniques have opened new avenues for microscopes to be used in optogenetics, nanophotonics, photochemical catalysis, and the fabrication of superhydrophobics. Optogenetics is a neuromodulation technique that uses light as a stimulus to control and monitor the activities of individual neurons in living tissue.
A recent application of optogenetics in combination with microscopy is in research on layers of cultivated excitable cells to understand the general biology of action, potential generation, axonal signal transmission, and synaptic activities. These emerging application areas of microscopy are expected to offer significant growth opportunities to market players in the coming years.
By product, the microscope segment accounted for the largest share in the global microscopy market during the forecast period.
Broad and sustained demand of microscopes among key end users such as semiconductor and electronics, healthcare & lifescience, automotive industries, and materials science is a prominent factor for market growth. Additionally, availability of technologically advanced microscopes, development of technically advanced products with capabilities, such as faster performance and easy sample preparation techniques is also expected to push market growth during the forecast period.
