Optical microscope market in Europe
In 2015, the European microscopy market was dominated by the optical microscope segment, which accounted for almost 40% of the overall market share. The demand for stereo microscopes in Europe was the highest in 2015, followed by inverted microscope, accessories, and others. The main reason for their high growth is that they are the most commonly used microscopes in secondary schools and other educational institutions. These instruments offer wide range of applications such as watch-making, microsurgery, circuit board fabrication and manufacturing, fractography, and even forensic engineering.
“High demand for optical microscope is due to several innovations which have made these instruments more flexible and equipped with flexibility more functions. The demand for optical microscopes in Europe is primarily driven by an increase in the number of educational and research institutions,” says Amber Chourasia, a senior analyst at Technavio for research on lab equipment.
The demand for inverted microscopes is also growing significantly due to their flexibility in terms of sample size, quantity, and preparation of sample. Also, these microscopes enable manipulation of the sample under observation, which has increased their popularity in the recent years. They offer more operational freedom and sample loading, and are finding extensive usage among several end-user industries. Such increasing adoption of inverted microscopes can also be attributed to their functional benefits such as the ability to study large sample volumes.
Electron microscope market in Europe
The electron microscope segment occupied around 39% of the total market share in 2015. Much of the segment’s growth is due to the ability of these microscopes to offer advanced resolution power over optical microscopes, and the growing miniaturization of samples in the market. In Europe, increasing demand from manufacturing firms to introduce high-quality and durable products has led to massive investment in root-cause failure analysis, which is positively contributing to the growth of the electron microscope market. Also, the rise in funding for universities to procure equipment such as SEMs will provide growth opportunities to vendors in the region. SEM is the largest sub-segment in the electron microscope segment in Europe. The growing requirement of environmental scanning electron microscopes (ESEMs) and field emission gun-scanning electron microscopes (FEG-SEMs) have led to the implementation of SEMs. Furthermore, the majority of SEMs in the market are equipped with FEG-SEMs technology, resulting in the highest demand.
SPM microscope market in Europe
SPM is the fastest-growing segment in the European microscopy market and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of more than 9% during the forecast period. SPM offers high possibilities to manipulate and explore material properties at the atomic, molecular, and nanoscale levels, which has increased its demand. There is a sharp rise in demand for near-field scanning in the research community due to the stability of the polarization state of the probe offered by these microscopes. Moreover, factors such as increasing focus on analytical tools with sufficient sensitivity for measurements and nanoscale spatial resolution will propel this segment’s growth in the coming years. Also, the surging requirement for innovative data processing methods will positively contribute to the growth of this segment over the next four years.
The top leading vendors operating in the microscopy market in Europe are:
