Microscope Market

 

A microscope is an instrument that is used to magnify small objects, allowing the user to observe an extremely close view of minute structures at a scale appropriate for examination and analysis. Microscopes are widely utilized in academic & research institutes and various industries, such as electronics and semiconductors, healthcare, food & beverages, chemical, automotive, aerospace, ceramics, synthetic rubber, paints and coatings, plastics, and the environment. The microscope has different types such as optical microscopes, electron microscopes, scanning probe microscopes, and others which are used in the various sectors according to the uses.

In addition to this, the advent of advanced technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), deep learning, and extended ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) is contributing to the expansion of the microscope industry. IoT generates demand for memory, connectivity, sensors, and microcontrollers, using the neural networks for analyzing data to reinforce the manufacturing of Integrated Circuits (ICs), and EUVL contributes to high-end computing chip manufacturing. Microscopy provides high-resolution imaging and enables a decent evaluation range from packaged devices to the atomic level gate structure. Electron beam-based systems have applications in analyzing device failure sources to reinforce the manufacturing process.

However, the high cost of microscope because of inbuilt electrons which improves the extent of the screen with the assistance of beams and makes images look more realistic is projected to hamper the market growth.

Based on product, the electron microscope segment accounted to hold the largest revenue share of over 42.0% in 2020.

The electron microscope segment dominated the market with effective revenue share of 42.0% in 2020. Electron microscopes in contrast to optical microscopes use an accelerated beam as the source of illumination. The shorter wavelength of electrons as compared to light results in the high resolution of electron microscopes. Industries and established research laboratories are among the end-users of electron microscopes because the value of those microscopes is relatively high as compared to optical microscopes. Due the penetration of electron microscopes is anticipated to collaborate between manufacturers and academic/research organization.

Based on the application, the life science segment is anticipated to hold the largest revenue share of more than 30.0% in 2020.

The life science segment anticipated to dominate the market and estimated for the largest revenue share of more than 30.0% in 2020.
