The global microscopy market size was estimated at US$ 11.8 billion in 2022 and is expected to surpass around US$ 24.21 billion by 2032, expanding growth at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period 2023 to 2032.
The Asia Pacific region hit highest revenue share 37% in 2022 as there are increased investments in R&D for microscopy and it has many applications in correlative microscopy like life sciences, nanotechnology, research, etc. The market is expected to grow as there is an availability of low cost skilled labor and low cost material. Also, the presence of the original equipment manufacturing companies in this region is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
Microscope is an instrument which magnifies the images of tiny objects or tiny specimens which allows the user to observe these specimens closely for examination and for analysis. The academic institutes and the research institutes use microscope for studying the specimens and for many research activities. Microscopes are used in many industries like food and beverages, electronics and semiconductors, chemical industries, automotive industries, health care industry, aerospace industry, synthetic rubber industry, ceramics, paints and coatings industry, plastics and for Environmental Research. The field of microscopy has a lot of investments in order to conduct research and developments towards generative medicine, nanotechnology and in order to increase the academic industry collaborations.
The key companies operating in the microscopy market had experienced a drop in the market due to the closure of many government and private academic and research centers. As many other institutes were closed and the supply chains were disrupted, the market had dropped during the pandemic. Various restrictions on travel, closing down of businesses and reduction in the operating capacity had affected microscopy market in a negative way.
Some important technological advancement in the microscopy market includes live cell imaging, digitization, super resolution and high throughput methods. All of these methods are mostly aiming at reducing the price of the product and reducing the cost involved in the tests. Different types of microscopes are introduced in the market, like expansion microscopes, multi view microscopes and integrated microscopy workflows. The latest trend of digital microscopy is driving the market. Digital imaging helps in providing a higher resolution image with good amount of precision as the images are less distorted they provide a good view for further use in academics or in research.
The major factor for the growth of this market is the development of a whole slide scanning system is this digital microscopy development and it shall have a great growth during the forecast period .The specimens which are studied with the help of the digital microscopy system which uses entire slide scanning systems provides 3D and 2D images which could be used in the research and development for quality control and for forensics. The developing nations like India, China, Brazil and Russia are providing great opportunities for the various market players in microscopy market. The microscopy industry is expected to grow in the developing nations due to the funding received from the government in order to carry out research and development in advanced microscopes.
