The global Microscopes Market is
projected to reach nearly USD 7.4
billion by 2020. Key factors that drive the industry are technological
innovations and surging private sector & government sector investments.
Nanotechnology being a continuously evolving field has a favorable impact on
overall market demand. Intensive R&D in life sciences & semiconductors
is expected to fuel industry growth over the forecast period (2012 to 2020). Popularity
of super resolution microscopes can be attributed to continuous technological
innovations. Such microscopes are highly effective & convenient especially
when it comes to examining complex human body parts, such as the neurological
system & the brain.
Introduction of high resolution & cost effective microscopes, such
as the dSTORM (direct stochastic optical reconstruction optical microscopy) may
catapult demand till 2020. The microscopes market in most developing economies
is driven by availability of cheap labor and favorable government policies.
Interestingly, these factors fuel demand for semi-conductors and induce greater
research in life sciences & nanotechnology.

The worldwide microscopes market is categorized on the basis of
products, applications, and geographies. As per products, the segments are
optical, scanning probe, electron and others. Fueled by high adoption rates in
life sciences & semiconductors and widespread applications, optical
microscopes generated highest revenues in the overall market in 2013.
These
microscopes are further categorized into near field scanning, confocal
scanning, fluorescence, phase contrast, stereomicroscope, inverted, and others.
Inverted microscopes held the largest market share in 2013. Applications in
metallurgy & micromanipulation could fuel demand for inverted microscopes.
This segment is expected to grow robustly over the forecast period.
Based on applications, the global industry is divided into
semiconductors, life sciences, nanotechnology, material sciences, and others.
The market was led by the life sciences segment in 2013. Demand is mainly
fueled by innovations in consumer electronics, and use of microscopes in
manufacturing & inspection and in research & development. Newer areas
of application, such as miniature transistor chips and quantum dots could drive
the overall industry in the forthcoming years. Quantum dots is a gradually
evolving technology that may cater to several application areas, like quantum
computing, electroluminescent displays, diode lasers, biological imaging,
photovoltaic cells, and transistors in the years to come.
Regional segments of the global microscopes market are Europe, Asia
Pacific, North America, and Rest of the World. Asia Pacific dominated the
overall industry in terms of revenue in 2013. In 2011, China witnessed the
highest rate of funding in its nanotechnology industry globally.
Industrialization coupled with use of nanotechnology in research &
development may create lucrative opportunities for further growth of the global
market.
Furthermore, demand for microscopes from noncommercial organizations
(hospitals and research laboratories) can also play a significant role in
triggering market progress.
Companies operating in the global industry are Carl
Zeiss, Olympus Corporation, Leica Microsystems, and Nikon Corporation. Since
there are only a few participants, this market is characterized by minimal
competition. It is essentially oligopolistic in nature.
Scientists from Uppsala University, Stockholm University, and University
of California have created a 3D printed cell phone attachment that can turn a
particular device’s camera into a microscope. Such an innovation aims at
helping health workers in developing nations and in remote locations to
identify genetic mutations that cause illnesses & diseases. With the help
of such a device, healthcare professionals do not need to send samples to
laboratories.
