STUDY BACKGROUND


The field of microscopy has undergone an enormous evolution since the earliest optical microscopes were developed in the 1600s.
The optical microscope has been refined continuously since its introduction, resulting in today's superb scientific instruments.
However, the optical microscope is ultimately limited in the minimum size and nature of the features it can resolve by
manufacturability constraints and, ultimately, the physics of light itself.


New microscopy technologies have been developed to overcome these limitations, such as electron, scanning probe, and focused ion
beam microscopy. The field of microscopy continues to evolve rapidly as new requirements and imaging technologies are developed.
While optical microscopes once accounted for the bulk of all microscopes sold around the world today, they are in the minority today.


While microscopes today are a billion-dollar industry, their true importance lies in the activities they make possible, such as life
sciences research, microelectronics, and advanced-materials science. Microscopy is particularly important to the expanding field of
nanotechnology.


STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

the microscopy market with the greatest commercial potential in the near- to mid-term (2011 to 2016), identifying and, where possible,
quantifying the key demand drivers, projecting future demand for different types of microscopes, and evaluating the technical and
other challenges that must be overcome for the market to realize its full potential


INTENDED AUDIENCE


The report is intended especially for manufacturers and vendors of microscopes and related accessories. Other readers who should

Microscopy: The Global Market

  • 1. Find Industry reports, Company profiles ReportLinker and Market Statistics >> Get this Report Now by email! Microscopy: The Global Market Published on August 2011 Report Summary REPORT HIGHLIGHTS * The global market for microscopes and accessories was worth about $3.1 billion in 2010. Sales are projected to exceed $3.2 billion in 2011 and $4.1 billion in 2016, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5% for 2011 to 2016. * The market for microscopes is estimated to reach nearly $2.7 billion in 2011 and is expected to increase at a 4.9% compound annual growth rate to reach nearly $3.4 billion in 2016. * The market for accessories and supplies is valued at nearly $488 million in 2011. This should reach nearly $632 million in 2016, for a CAGR of 5.3%. STUDY BACKGROUND The field of microscopy has undergone an enormous evolution since the earliest optical microscopes were developed in the 1600s. The optical microscope has been refined continuously since its introduction, resulting in today's superb scientific instruments. However, the optical microscope is ultimately limited in the minimum size and nature of the features it can resolve by manufacturability constraints and, ultimately, the physics of light itself. New microscopy technologies have been developed to overcome these limitations, such as electron, scanning probe, and focused ion beam microscopy. The field of microscopy continues to evolve rapidly as new requirements and imaging technologies are developed. While optical microscopes once accounted for the bulk of all microscopes sold around the world today, they are in the minority today. While microscopes today are a billion-dollar industry, their true importance lies in the activities they make possible, such as life sciences research, microelectronics, and advanced-materials science. Microscopy is particularly important to the expanding field of nanotechnology. STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES This report is an updated version of an earlier BCC study published in 2009. The goal of this study is to provide the reader with an understanding of recent developments in microscopy technologies and applications and their impact on the future size and structure of the market for various types of microscopes and microscope accessories. Specific study objectives include identifying segments of the microscopy market with the greatest commercial potential in the near- to mid-term (2011 to 2016), identifying and, where possible, quantifying the key demand drivers, projecting future demand for different types of microscopes, and evaluating the technical and other challenges that must be overcome for the market to realize its full potential INTENDED AUDIENCE The report is intended especially for manufacturers and vendors of microscopes and related accessories. Other readers who should find it particularly useful include entrepreneurs, investors, venture capitalists, and other readers with a need to know where the microscopy market is headed over the next 5 years. The report should also be of interest to end users such as nanotechnology companies whose technology road maps may make Microscopy: The Global Market (From Slideshare) Page 1/14
