Driver: Technological advancements in microscopy software & microscopes
Technological advancements in microscopy include digitization, live-cell imaging, super-resolution, and high-throughput methods. These advancements serve to reduce product and test costs. Moreover, recent developments in microscopes include expansion microscopes, scanning helium microscopes, multi-view microscopes, and integrated microscopy workflows. Another significant trend in this market is digital microscopy, which offers enhanced image resolution with greater precision, leading to fewer distorted images and better viewing of samples.
Restraint: High cost of microscopes and software subscription
Owing to technological advancements, there has been a shift in the usage patterns of microscopes. Conventional microscopes are gradually losing their market to high-end microscopes such as electron microscopes, scanning probe microscopes, and digital microscopes due to their advanced features, higher resolution, and magnification power. However, these microscopes cost between USD 25,000 to USD 2 million, which is a major factor limiting their adoption in hospitals, pathological laboratories, and small-scale industries.
Challenge: Availability of open-source microscopy software
The availability of open-source software is an important challenge for this market. Any programmer with access to the software can inspect and improve that program or, if required, can fix any issues as needed. In contrast, most software solutions available in the market are closed-source and proprietary—and, more importantly, expensive where open-source software is usually free. Some open-source confocal microscopy analysis solutions—available freely—are ImageJ/FIJI, Cell Profiler/Cell Analyst, Neuronstudio, Volume Integration and Alignment System (VIAS), and L-measure. Most small-scale end-users, academic institutes, and research centers show a high preference for open-source solutions, which directly hampers end-user demand for licensed closed-source software.
Opportunity: Emerging Markets
Developing countries, including BRIC, offer significant growth opportunities for players in the microscope software market. Government funding for R&D in advanced microscopes and software has increased considerably in these countries. Due to the low manufacturing cost and higher production volumes, these countries will further require advanced microscopes along with enhanced software to compete in the international market. The growth of their life sciences, semiconductor, and automotive industries will also support their demand for microscopes and software.
North America accounted for the second-largest share of the global microscope software market in 2019 and is likely to remain an important region for manufacturers to concentrate
North America (comprising the US and Canada) accounted for the second-largest share of the global microscope software market in 2019. North America is a mature market for microscope software.
