Increase in Research Funding & Technological Advancements Drive the Global Microscopes Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) April 24, 2014 -- Follow us on LinkedIn – Microscopes are one of the most widely used analytical instruments in materials characterization. Increasing demand for high-resolution, sophisticated and precise imagery across a wide range of both existing as well as new end-use segments is driving growth in the global microscopes market. Significant increase in government and corporate funding in life sciences, material sciences and nano science research in developed and developing countries alike is also benefitting market growth. Technological advances and design innovations aimed at enhancing ease of use, and quality of imaging for a quicker and a better analysis of objects are also expected to contribute to market growth. As new microscopy technologies continuously replace older ones with limitations, the industry continues to evolve in line with changing end-user requirements. Currently, growth in the global microscopy devices market is largely attributed to the growing prominence of nanotechnology research. Advanced microscopes like electron microscope and scanning probe microscopes are expected to exhibit significant growth potential as nanotechnology and other precision manufacturing industries such as medical device and semiconductor manufacturing increase their adoption.
With enhanced resolution and efficiency, advanced microscopes, including Electron Microscopes and Scanning Probe Microscopes are gradually taking over market share from the traditional Optical Microscopes. Electron and scanning probe microscopes are witnessing increasing demand as nanotechnology fast penetrates various fields including electronics, environment, and medicine. Emerging end uses such as genome research and new opportunities in biosciences are further fuelling demand growth. Growing demand for effective failure analysis constitutes the major growth driver for electron microscopes.
Semiconductor manufacturing and nanotechnology industries exhibit the highest potential for future growth of microscopes. The continuously decreasing size of electronic circuits and components in electrical devices is necessitating the use of advanced microscopes for their inspection while in the nanotechnology industry electron microscopes are being largely used for studying nanostructure details. Usage of microscopes in the healthcare field is showcasing immense potential for future growth amidst strong emphasis on quality of healthcare services. Microscopes are indispensable in pathology, a field which is witnessing growing number of tests as well as increasing test complexity.
