Summary
The global market for microscopes, accessories
and supplies reached 4.3 billion in 2014. This
market is expected to grow at a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5 from 4.6 billion in
2015 to 6.3 billion in 2020. This report
provides -An overview of the global market for
microscopes and accessories, with coverage of
optical (light) microscopes, electron
microscopes, scanning probe microscopes, and
other types (e.g., focused ion beam,
confocal). -Analyses of global market trends,
with data from 2014, estimates for 2015, and
projections of CAGRs through 2020. -Definitions
and a brief history of microscopy.

BACKGROUND The field of microscopy has undergone
an enormous evolution since the earliest optical
microscopes were developed in the 1600s.

The optical microscope has been refined
continuously since its introduction, resulting in
todays superb scientific instruments. However,
the optical microscope is ultimately limited in
the minimum size and nature of the features that
it can resolve by manufacturability constraints
and, ultimately, the physics of light itself. New
microscopy technologies have been developed to
overcome these limitations, such as electron,
scanning probe and focused ion beam microscopy.
The field of microscopy continues to evolve
rapidly as new requirements and imaging
technologies are developed. While optical
microscopes once accounted for the bulk of all
microscopes sold around the world today, they are
in the minority today. While microscopes today
are a multi-billion-dollar industry, their true
importance lies in the activities they make
possible, such as life sciences research,
microelectronics and advanced-materials science.
Microscopy is particularly important to the
expanding field of nanotechnology.

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES This report is an
updated version of an earlier BCC Research study
published in 2013. The goal of this study is to
provide the reader with an understanding of
recent developments in microscopy technologies
and applications and their impact on the future
size and structure of the market for various
types of microscopes and microscope accessories.
Specific study objectives include identifying
segments of the microscopy market with the
greatest commercial potential in the near- to
mid-term (2015 to 2020), identifying and, where
possible, quantifying the key demand drivers,
projecting future demand for different types of
microscopes, and evaluating the technical and
other challenges that must be overcome for the
market to realize its full potential. INTENDED
AUDIENCE The report is intended especially for
manufacturers and vendors of microscopes and
related accessories.

Other readers who should find it particularly
useful include entrepreneurs, investors, venture
capitalists and other readers with a need to know
where the microscopy market is headed over the
next five years. The report should also be of
interest to end users such as nanotechnology
companies, whose technology road maps may make
critical assumptions about the availability and
performance of different materials
characterization technologies, including
microscopes. Other potential readers include
members of technical and professional
organizations such as ASM International and the
American Society for Nondestructive
Testing. SCOPE AND FORMAT The report addresses
the global market for microscopes and microscope
accessories over the period from 2014 through
2020, including -Optical (light) microscopes.
