Increase in funding for R&D in biotechnology and cell biology is a key factor that is boosting the optical microscopes market size. Optical microscopes play a vital role in medical diagnosis and biotechnology fields.
Need for early diagnosis and treatment of diseases is also augmenting market progress. Several government agencies, academic research centers, and hospitals are investing in R&D of advanced versions of optical microscopes to avoid delay in detection of viruses.
Companies operating in the global optical microscopes market are carrying out technological advancements in optical microscopes to facilitate prompt diagnosis of infections or viruses. Key players are expanding their product lines to increase the applications of optical microscopes in several fields and augment their optical microscopes industry share.
Optical microscopes, also known as precision optical microscopes or light microscopes, use visible light along with lenses to generate magnified images. These microscopes are primarily used in the biotechnology field. However, of late, demand for precision optical microscopes has been rising substantially in the field of histopathology.
Technological advancements have allowed digital images to be captured through complementary metal-oxide semiconductors and CCD cameras for optical microscopes. Thus, an image can be easily projected onto the computer screen in real-time for the inspection of the sample with digital microscopes.
One such advancement is focal modulation microscopy that amalgamates confocal spatial filtering with focal modulation for discarding out-of-focus backgrounds.
However, introduction of electron microscopes, which possess higher resolution as compared to optical microscopes, is a key factor that is restraining the optical microscopes market growth.
Optical microscopes are adopted in several research areas such as microelectronics, microbiology, biotechnology, nanophysics, pharmaceutical research, and educational institutes. Other applications of optical microscopes include viewing of biological samples in diagnostic centers.
Hospitals and clinics, academic and research institutes, diagnostic laboratories, and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are investing significantly in R&D activities to introduce advanced versions of optical microscopes.
Optical microscopes are used in diagnostic facilities to study biological samples for medical diagnosis. These microscopes also play an important role in the field of innovative science. Several research institutes and hospitals are conducting R&D in the field of optical microscopy for prompt detection of viruses/infections in order to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
In August 2020, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a division of the National Institutes of Health, sanctioned 11 grants to establish the Centers for Research in Emerging Infectious Diseases (CREID) so that multidisciplinary research regarding disease-causing microbes is conducted. Such funding activities are fueling optical microscopes industry growth.
Companies functioning in the global optical microscopes industry are focusing on developing and launching technologically advanced microscopes with multi-functionalities (being able to view objects of varied dimensions through a single microscope).
In August 2021, Vision Engineering Ltd. announced the launch of DRV Stereo CAM, a stereo camera system capable of converting optical stereo microscope into high definition 3D digital stereo microscope.
Integration of the patented DRV glasses-free digital 3D stereo viewing technology with high resolution optical microscopy is creating lucrative optical microscopes market opportunities for players operating in the global landscape.
Technological advancements in optical microscopes have also facilitated early detection of the COVID-19 virus. As per NCBI article dated august 2021, diffraction-unlimited fluorescence microscopy was used in 2020 for analyzing SARS-CoV-2 infection and the way in which primary airway cells’ subcellular architecture repurposed.
According to Microscopy Australia 2020, the faculty at the University of Queensland extended support to COVID-19-related measures by rendering microscopy to the department of vaccine development. Quality of locally manufactured PPE kits was also tested in the facility. Thus, continuous advancement in technologies is playing a vital role in boosting market development.
As per optical microscopes market insights, North America accounted for the leading share of the global landscape in 2022. The region is likely to maintain its dominance during the forecast period.
Rapid adoption of technologically advanced techniques in the U.S. is a major factor fueling the market statistics of North America. For instance, in December 2020, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) announced funding of almost US$ 32.0 Mn for extending support to biomedical imaging researchers and North America international network of bioimaging facilities and communities.
The initiative aims to drive breakthroughs in prevention, cure, or management of disease through advancements in the imaging field.
The optical microscopes market forecast appears promising in Asia Pacific and Europe, led by extensive research regarding development of upgraded versions of optical microscopes by governments of some of the countries in these regions.
In April 2020, EU-funded researchers employed quantum physics for developing an optical microscope that can view even the smallest of objects. The EU-funded SUPERTWIN project aims to create a series of microscopes that use quantum physics.
Vendors in the optical microscopes landscape are engaged in organic modes of expansion. For instance, in October 2021, Leica Microsystems introduced the updated version of M320 microscope to serve the field of micro-dentistry. M320 dental microscope is equipped with a camera, which offers ultra-high resolution.
Oxford Instruments Plc, Leica Microsystems, Nikon Corporation, Meiji Techno Company Ltd., Labomed Inc., CAMECA, Olympus Corporation, Bruker Corporation, and Carl Zeiss AG are the leading players that have been covered in the optical microscopes market research report.
