Research and Markets has declared that it has added a report, called the "The World Market for Advanced Microscopes - Electron and Scanning Probe.”
The international market for advanced scanning and electron probe microscopes such as atomic force microscopes (AFM), transmission electron microscopes(TEM), and scanning electron microscopes(SEM) is expected to reach annual sales of more than $1 billion by 2017. This huge leap in demand can be attributed to the need to produce high-resolution images to suit a wide range of new and existing markets. The improvements in technology across various sectors such as industrial, semiconductors and electronics, biomedical, pharmaceutical, MEMS, nanotechnology and nanomaterials R&D has increased the demand for these devices.
The global recession had a huge impact on the end-user industry. However, the healthcare and life sciences industry showed a consistent growth. The TEM and SEM microscopy markets are growing at rapid rates.
The report includes complete quantitative data and predictions for the global electron probe and scanning microscopes market till 2017. It draws a relative study on the optical microscopes market and offers a detailed analysis of the future market for electron probe and scanning microscopes to 2017. Valuable insight and perspective on the existing market and futuristic trends were elaborated based on interviews with key executives.
