The optical microscope segment accounted for dominating revenue share and was worth USD 3.8 billion in 2022. The growth is primarily attributed to parameters including high resolution, non-destructive imaging, imaging speed, efficiency, and compatibility with fluorescence imaging among others. Optical microscopy techniques provide high-resolution imaging, allowing researchers to observe and analyse samples at the cellular and subcellular level. Optical microscopes are relatively more accessible and affordable compared to other advanced microscopy techniques, such as electron microscopy or scanning probe microscopy. Hence, owing to above-mentioned variables, the segment will foresee notable growth by 2032.
The life science research sector held a leading share in 2022 and is projected to reach over USD 6.2 billion by 2032. Life sciences research, including cell biology, neuroscience, and molecular biology, heavily relies on microscopy for studying cellular structures, interactions, and processes. The requirement for automated microscopy is increasing as researchers seek to automate repetitive tasks, capture dynamic cellular events, and analyse large datasets. It enables faster and more accurate data acquisition, that helps in understanding disease mechanisms and drug development. Thus, the increase in research activities in biotech firms will further propel the automated microscopy market development.
The diagnostic laboratories vertical is set to observe 7% growth rate between 2023 and 2032. Automated microscopy systems enable diagnostic laboratories to process and analyze a large number of samples efficiently and with high throughput. These systems can be integrated into laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and workflow automation platforms. This integration allows for seamless transfer of data and results, streamlining the laboratory workflow. The above pointers contribute to enhance diagnostic capabilities, faster turnaround times, and improved patient care in clinical settings. Hence, owing to afore-mentioned parameters, the market is predicted to spectate healthy growth during the forecast period.
The North America automated microscopy market reached USD 2.7 billion in 2022. The region has a robust technological infrastructure and a thriving marketplace for scientific instruments and laboratory equipment such as the automated microscopy systems. Additionally, availability of funding and government support facilitates the acquisition of these systems by research institutions and laboratories in the region. Hence, factors such as region's prominence in life sciences research, academic institutions, among others collectively contribute to the automated business growth in the region.
