Scanning probe microscopy market

Scanning probe microscopy market in 2013

The scanning probe microscopy market covers the following segments:

• Atomic force microscopes (AFM)

• Scanning tunneling microscopes (STM);

• Near-field scanning optical microscopes (NSOM).

The Scanning probe microscopy market in 2013 generated approximately $440 million in revenues (conservative estimate). Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM) accounted for the majority of the Scanning probe microscopy market with Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and NSOM making up less than 10%. Several tens of thousands of AFM instruments are in use worldwide. STM and NSOM are more or less exclusively used in industrial and materials research. The majority of SPM users are in academia and government laboratories. Nanotechnology measurement has boosted the market significantly over the past decade.

The North America advanced microscopy market is considered mature. Developing Asian markets such as China, Korea, India, and Taiwan are experiencing good growth. The developments in nanotechnology, material science and life sciences, heavily backed by government investment, drive interest in advanced microscopy, in addition to the improvements in software design and increased degrees of automation in end-user industries.

Companies
