The increased emphasis on R&D for areas such as neuroscience, life sciences, nanotechnology, and semi-conductor is expected to boost the microscope adoption rate during the forecast period.

Growing focus on nanotechnology and regenerative medicine

Nanotechnology is the science and technology of functional systems at the molecular scale. It is a multidisciplinary field that encompasses a wide range of scientific disciplines such as chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, and engineering. Structural characterization is a critical phase in nanomaterial research that makes heavy use of microscopes. Because nanostructures are too small to see with conventional optical microscopes, sophisticated microscopes and instruments that analyze their structure and surface in detail at the molecular and atomic levels are preferred. As a result, the use of microscopy in nanotechnology has increased.

Microscopes are also commonly employed in regenerative medicine research. Regenerative medicine includes the generation and use of therapeutic stem cells, skin cells, and tissues, as well as tissue engineering, for the creation of functioning organs. In recent years, the regenerative medicine business has grown rapidly. Therefore, the Microscopy Market is expected to grow during the forecast period.
