- Key vendors – Bruker, Carl Zeiss, Leica Microsystems, PerkinElmer, and Thermo Fisher Scientific
Technavio’s market research analysts predict the global market for microscope accessories to grow at a CAGR of around 6% between 2016 and 2020. The growth of this market can be accredited to the emerging importance of nanotechnology. Increased research in the field of nanotechnology, as well as the adoption of nanomaterials, is expected to fuel the demand for high-power microscopes during the forecast period. During 2015, the global market was dominated by the Americas with a market share of more than 35%. Increased investment by pharmaceutical companies in drug discovery and testing is expected to fuel the demand for microscope accessories in the Americas over the next four years.
The new market research report from Technavio presents a breakdown and analysis of the microscope accessories segment based on the end-user.
“The integration of application-specific accessories is expected to gain traction in the market in the coming years. Microscopes offer an array of accessories, depending on the type of instrument used. For each type of instrument, the accessories range from simple sample preparation products to complex detectors and imaging systems. The process aims to reduce complexity and improve process efficiency,” says Abhay Sinha, Lead Analyst, New Coverage, Technavio Research.
The pharmaceutical and healthcare segment dominated the global market in 2015 by accounting for around 29% of the overall market share. In the pharmaceutical sector, electron and scanning probe microscopes are widely used for protein analysis and observation, as well as for drug discovery processes. In the healthcare sector, low-power optical microscopes are more common and are employed in applications such as surgery; dental diagnosis; ear, nose, and throat (ENT) treatments; observation equipment in surgeries; and laboratories. Increasing investments in pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors will fuel the growth of this segment during the forecast period.
The key vendors in the market include Bruker, Carl Zeiss, Leica Microsystems, PerkinElmer, and Thermo Fisher Scientific. The major players in the global microscope accessories market will account for a significant share of the market. These players have a strong global presence and a strong distribution network, with support and service centers spread throughout the globe. The competitive environment in the market is likely to intensify with an increase in product extensions, new product launches, and new applications of integrated product offerings.
