Global Microscopes Market by Type (Optical Microscopes, Electron Microscopes, Scanning Probe Microscopes), By Application (Material Sciences, Nanotechnology, Life Sciences, Semiconductors, Other Applications) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028
The Global Microscopes Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 5.4% during the forecast period, to reach $7.8 billion by 2028 from its estimated value of $6.3 billion in 2018. The growth can be attributed to factors such as increasing investments in nanotechnology and material sciences research & development, growing demand for semiconductor inspection equipment in emerging economies like China and India, and increased adoption of optical microscopes by hospitals across the globe for applications such as medical diagnosis.
A Microscope is an instrument that enables one to examine the minute features of objects which are too small for direct examination by the eye. The earliest known magnifying device was the burning glass, it could be used to concentrate sunlight and set textiles on fire from a distance. However, this invention had limitations as it still required physical contact with its object in order to function. The modern research microscope was invented in the 17th century. It consists of three components: a body with an eyepiece that holds and focuses light, and sometimes means for illuminating specimens such as a lamp or LED; a set of lenses to provide magnifying power (typically two oculars), and a mechanical stage designed to hold specimen containers securely.
At first, microscopes were used primarily by scientists, but they are now ubiquitous in an industry where their use is widespread because it enables detailed examination not otherwise possible on large industrial equipment. They have proven invaluable in medical diagnosis too, enabling clinicians to detect conditions like cancer at much earlier stages than would otherwise be possible through conventional methods. As well-designed instruments become more affordable, microscopes are becoming an increasingly important part of the average person’s household.
In recent years there has been huge growth in demand from everyday people who want one at home so they can explore the world around them – plants, insects, and more – with an enhanced level of detail unavailable without such expensive equipment.
On the basis of Type, the market is segmented into Optical Microscopes, Electron Microscopes, and Scanning Probe Microscopes. Among them, the optical microscopy segment dominates the global market with an estimated share of around 85%.
Optical Microscopes:
Optical Microscopes can be defined as a type of microscope that can be used to see objects too small for the human eye. Optical microscopes amplify light through an optical system and magnify it, making them able to show the tiniest detail on any object.
Optical Microscopes are a type of microscope that is most often used in Material Sciences research, Nanotechnology research, or Life Science Research due to their capability of amplifying microscopic details with higher clarity than other types of microscopes
Electron Microscopes:
An electron microscope uses electrons rather than photons, as a light source for illumination. They are capable of achieving much higher magnification than the most powerful optical microscopes and show details less than one nanometer in size. Electron beams can be generated by an electrostatic or electromagnetic field that accelerates electrons to very high speeds on an electrically charged metal plate or semiconductor emitter. The accelerating voltage is usually around 0.75mv (millions of volts) with a wavelength of around 50-200nm which creates enough energy for microparticles such as atoms or molecules to emit X-ray radiation like when they're heated up from friction against other surfaces. This beam then passes through various lenses before it reaches the specimen where its path is bent.
Scanning Probe Microscopes:
Scanning probe microscopes (SPM) are used to study the properties of materials on a nanometre scale. The technique typically involves scanning an electrically conductive needle across the surface of a sample, measuring its response, and then building up a three-dimensional image from these individual points of data.
On the basis of Application, the market is segmented into Material Sciences, Nanotechnology, Life Sciences, and Semiconductors. Optical microscopes have been used for many years to study semiconductors. It is a common technique that involves the use of an electron beam and optical microscope. A typical setup would involve putting a sample on a stage, then directing the electron beam at it from one direction while using the microscope to observe changes in features within as they are scanned across by this point-like source of electrons. This type of method has helped scientists develop new materials, but there are some challenges with it due to limitations such as the inability to distinguish defects smaller than 0.25 nanometers and insufficient resolution below about 100 nm (100 billionths of a meter).
On the basis of Region, the market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. The North American market is projected to grow at a higher CAGR from 2021-2028. The growth of this region can be attributed to the increasing demand for microscopes due to the increasing incidence of cases of cancer and the rising need for detection and diagnosis facilities across hospitals, medical centers, research institutes, universities, etc.
The Latin American market growth of this region can be attributed due to the increasing incidence of cases of cancer and the rising need for detection and diagnosis facilities across hospitals, medical centers, research institutes, universities, etc.
In Europe, microscopes are used in a variety of applications such as semiconductors manufacturing process control & quality checking. Basic optical microscope is widely preferred equipment by many manufacturers because it provides a vast range of applications including failure analysis and material sciences characterization like materials composition/structure identification through its various magnification ranges (x30 - x4000). These factors have contributed towards significant growth of the European market over recent years which would continue during the forecast period.
In the Asia Pacific, demand for microscopes is driven by the manufacturing industry as a production tool and also in research & development facilities. The market has been continuously growing due to factors like increased awareness about the health and safety of food products across countries such as China, Thailand, Bangladesh, etc., which are driving manufacturers towards better quality control methods using advanced equipment including electron microscope (EM). However, economies with low purchasing power may restrict growth until they start catching up on the economic level.
