Th surging government support in both developed and developing nations has led to the rising number of R&D initiatives to provide novel solutions and bolster positions within the global economy. The increasing prevalence of various chronic diseases is driving the need for new treatment options as well as research initiatives. According to the CDC, 6 out of 10 persons in the U.S. today suffer from a chronic illness, such as diabetes, heart disease, or cancer. This growing disease burden has amplified the demand for electron microscopy and equipment for sample processing.  Furthermore, the higher R&D expenditure for enabling the purchase of modern instruments will define the market landscape.
 

Electron Microscope Sample Preparation Market Growth Drivers and Restraints

The growing technological leaps to enhance imaging precision and resolution will positively influence the industry expansion. Moreover, the expanding application scope of electron microscopy has spurred its significant adoption in diverse industries, such as materials science and life sciences. However, the high prices along with the additional maintenance and accessories costs associated with electron microscopy may slow down the market growth.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 outbreak had positive impact on the demand for electron microscopes. As per WHO estimates published in 2021, the COVID-19 virus impacted 228 million individuals and killed around 4.6 million people, creating great demand for innovative vaccine research as well as preventative treatments. This provided lucrative growth opportunities for electron microscope sample preparation equipment market players during the later stages of the pandemic to offer better observation of viral structure and sample preparation equipment during the creation of accurate specimens.

Electron Microscope Sample Preparation Market Trends

The widespread use of electron microscopy in nanotechnology and metallurgy will accelerate the development capacities of electron microscope sample preparation equipment. Rapid advancements in sophisticated technology in products, such as ultrafast imaging have compelled researchers to investigate specimens at the nanoscale. Additionally, improvements in tomography methods are helping to rebuild 3-D structures from collection of 2-D electron microscopy pictures in researching sophisticated and complex structures in the field of materials science and biotechnology. Hence, the aforementioned factors are expected to boost industry revenue.
