Worldwide Microscopy Devices Market (Semiconductors, Life Sciences, Nanotechnology, Material Sciences) Forecast by 2020

The overall microscopy devices segment to grow a CAGR of 7.6% for the forecast period of 2014 - 2020.

 

Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/29/2015 -- Microscopes have been around for almost millennia. The Dutch were the pioneers in these scopes as such devices required the use of optical lens, which was their specialty. Today microscopes have evolved and diversified for various purposes besides the general academic and exploratory research. Fresh interests in new areas like nanotechnology and atomic scale semiconductor arrangement has created requirements for microscopes employing mediums much more penetrative than light itself, i.e. electron, X-ray, etc. This has enabled us to venture further in the range of nanoscales, greatly boosting the innovations in various respects of exploratory research. As of today the fastest growing market for these advanced microscopes is the industrial segment, this is attributed mainly to the industries of microprocessor and integrated circuit manufacture. Besides this, the medical fields have always had the requirement for optical microscopes, schools and academies have introduced microscopes to teenage students at elementary level. Such has been the proliferation of microscopes that microscopes are now available in creative designs and colors to attract young enthusiasts. However, even with the proliferation of microscopes in nearly every principle of research and testing microscope sales have been affected by the recent economic downturns of Europe (and possibly Middle East in the small scale).
