Global Super Resolution Microscopes Market is anticipated to reach USD 4.8 billion by 2022. Super-resolution microscopy implies images to be taken with a higher resolution than the one imposed by the diffraction limit. The factors that propel the growth of the super-resolution microscopes market include rising government and private initiatives, growing R&D funding, and increase in the usage rates of high-resolution microscopes. On the other hand, there are factors that may hamper the growth of the market including high investment cost. Super resolution microscopes industry is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR in the upcoming period as the scope, product types, and its applications are increasing across the globe.
Super resolution microscope market may be explored by product type, application, and geography. The market may be explored by product type as Structured-Illumination Microscopy (SSIM), Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM), Stimulated Emission Depletion Microscopy (STED), Photoactivated Localization Microscopy (PALM) and Fluorescence Photoactivation Localization Microscopy (FPALM).
The “Stimulated Emission Depletion Microscopy (STED)” segment led the super resolution microscopes industry in 2015 and is anticipated to maintain its dominance by 2022. The key factors that may attributed to the growth of the market include growing research and development activities in the field and rising demand.
The key applications that could be explored in the super resolution microscopes market include Life Science, Nanotechnology, Semi-Conductor and Academia and Research labs. The “Life Science-Based Super-Resolution Microscopes” segment led the super-resolution microscopes industry in 2015 and is anticipated to maintain its dominance by 2022. The key factor that may be attributed to the growth of market includes the growth of the electronic component industry.
Asia-Pacific accounted for the major market share of the super resolution microscopes in 2014 and will continue to lead in the forecast period. The factors that could be attributed to the growth include applications in the field of semiconductor and life sciences, installation of infrastructure in the developing countries and aging infrastructure in the established countries. Asia-Pacific is followed by the North American region owing to growing research and development expenditure and surge in the number of funding programs in the countries.
Some of the key players that fuel the growth of the super resolution microscope industry comprise Pico Quant group, Leica Microsystems, Carl Zeiss AG, Olympus Corporation, Nikon Corporation, Bruker Corporation and GE Life Sciences. The leading companies are taking up partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, and joint ventures in order to boost the inorganic growth of the industry.
