Global Super-resolution Microscopes Market by Application (Life Science, Nanotechnology), by Technology (PALM, SIM, STORM, STED, FPALM) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

Global super-resolution microscopes market was valued at USD 2.83 billion in 2020. It is projected to grow at an 8.9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), between 2021 and 2028. The market will be driven by technological advances, increased applications in life science, and a growing focus on nanotechnology. Super-resolution microscopes can overcome the limitations of fluorescence and confocal microscopy. They provide a higher X-Y resolution than confocal, as well as fluorescence, beyond 200-250 nm. With a resolution of 10-20 nanometers, super-resolution microscopy will provide new insight into ongoing research in medical science as well as nanotechnology. Researchers use these advanced microscopes to diagnose and perform medical procedures. Micro-endoscopy, for example, is made possible by multiphoton and other advanced imaging techniques. This allows for the long-term use of these tools in new medical treatments.

The super-resolution microscopes permit visualization of cellular samples with a resolution comparable to an optical fluorescence microscope or diffraction-limited. Uniquely visualize molecular species in 3D, in the cellular environment and in live cells.

Market Impact of COVID-19 Superresolution Microscopes: 2.2% decrease from 2019 to 2020

A new public-private partnership of Carl Zeiss Microscopy with UC Berkeley, worth USD 5.6million to support the Berkeley Brain Microscopy Innovation Center is also expected to have a positive impact on the market. Market growth will be driven by rising adoption rates and investments in the development of advanced microscopes by precision manufacturing industries.

Technology Insights

Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy technology accounted for the largest share of over 23.0% in 2020 and will grow at a steady CAGR over the forecast period due to its ability to deliver diffraction-unlimited images, with no need for further computational processing. STED microscopy has been deemed one of the fastest super-resolution imaging methods available thanks to its use of fast-beam scanners.

It can quickly see small fields and is therefore an efficient technique for small areas with video-rate imaging. The STED technology is also compatible with organic dyes and allows for real-time cell imaging. There are increasing research and development in neurobiology, cell biology, and other fields. Researchers can now view Nuclear Pore Complexes using Structured Illumination Microscopy, which allows them to solve different aspects of the nucleus superstructures.

The spatial resolution of STORM and PALM microscopy is significantly better than conventional fluorescence microscopy. These techniques are easy to understand because they rely on fluorescent probe chemical properties which flash on and off. This allows for precise and amazing localization of single molecules by random flashing in large numbers of images.

Application Insights

In 2020, the life science segment accounted for more than 40.0% of the total market. Neuroscience relies heavily on advanced microscopy for in-vivo brain imaging to gain a better understanding of neurologic dysfunctions and mechanisms.

In 2020, the nanotechnology segment accounted for the second largest share and is expected grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period. This segment is expected to grow due to the use of super-resolution microscopes for identifying nanoparticles attached with living cells and the drug delivery process.

Super-resolution microscopes will be more popular if there is more focus on R&D in areas such as neuroscience, life sciences and the semiconductor industry. This microscopes can provide image resolutions as high as 10nm. This is essential for studying cell signaling pathways and cancer cell proliferation.

Regional Insights

North America occupied the largest market share, with 33.0% in 2020. It will continue to hold that position through the forecast period. The market is expected to be driven by advanced healthcare facilities, large investments in R&D to understand the mechanisms of different diseases, and extensive drug research activities in the region. The market is also supported by the availability of reimbursement for medical treatment.

In the region, extensive medical research is conducted to study various diseases and pathways. Super-resolution microscopy is crucial in such inspections. The U.S. is home to some of the most prominent players in the market, such as Danaher (parent company of Leica Microsystems) and Applied Precision(GE Healthcare), with manufacturing sites located at various locations.

The highest expected CAGR for Asia Pacific will be recorded during the forecast period. This can be attributed to increasing use of microscopy in a variety of industries such as pharmaceutical, academic life science, and biotechnology . The market in Europe is larger than the Asia Pacific market, due to the high number of high-end equipment in the region. The market will be driven by technological advances and the high incidence of infectious diseases in Europe.

Market Share Insights & Key Companies

This market is a hotbed of collaboration. In the past, collaborations between JEOL and Nikon and Carl Zeiss and Seiko have helped to increase the market share for super-resolution microscopes. Collaborations have been common in the production phase. They are expected to rise in engineering and development.
