Microscope Market Overview

The rapidly evolving field of microscopy, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), are gaining close attention in ongoing research projects in the US. Several initiatives, both inorganic and organic, have been implemented by the businesses to support its expansion. Companies have been using various organic strategies to expand their businesses, such as product launches. Businesses have used inorganic tactics like partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions. For example, in June 2022, the Olympus APX100 system will be constructed with a powerful Al, a suite of intelligent features, and the well-known Evident optics. The system increases the productivity of life science research by combining publication-quality images with the user-friendliness of an all-in-one microscope. The microscope's compact size, integrated vibration reduction system, and light-shielded optics make it ideal for imaging core facilities and labs. It can even be positioned in well-lit areas.

Microscope Market Drivers and Opportunities

Emerging Use of Microscope for Various Applications Favors the Market Growth

To give students access to cutting-edge microscopy techniques, universities, institutions, and other educational organizations are constructing new facilities and carrying out various activities worldwide. A US$ 210,132 grant from the National Science Foundation's Major Research Instrumentation program was given to SUNY Geneso in January 2022 so that the chemistry department could buy a three-dimensional Raman imaging system. Through research projects in chemistry, geological sciences, biology, and anthropology, Geneseo students will have access to the potent and sophisticated laser-based microscopic device—which is rarely available to undergraduate students. Therefore, during the forecast period, initiatives to raise awareness and encourage the use of microscopes in academia would present profitable growth prospects for the microscope market.

Introduction of Novel Microscopes

A few technological developments in microscopes are high resolution, live-cell imaging, and digitalization. Expandable microscopes, multi-view microscopes, scanning helium microscopes, and integrated microscopy workflows have recently improved microscopes. Furthermore, the digital microscope—which uses an LED screen instead of an eyepiece—is becoming increasingly popular. Vision Engineering announced in November 2021 regarding the introduction of VE Cam, a user-friendly, portable digital microscope, at Productronica 2021 in Munich. There are two versions of the VE Cam product: VE Cam 50 (50mm FOV) and VE Cam 80 (80mm FOV), each with a distinct field of view (FOV). The microscope provides a small package of digital imaging's strength, speed, and efficiency. Thus, the emergence of technologically advanced products will likely create ample opportunities in the market.
