Market Overview:
Microtome Blades are thin, sharp blades used for making extremely thin slices of material for microscopic examination. They are available in disposable and permanent varieties. The global microtome blades market is segmented on the basis of type, application and region. On the basis of type, the market is divided into disposable blades and permanent blades. Disposable blades are further sub-segmented into carbon steel blade and stainless steel blade. Permanent blades are further sub-segmented into diamond knife and tungsten carbide knife. On the basis of application, the market is divided into medical industry, petroleum industry, chemical industry, food industry and others (including research institutes). The medical industry accounted for a major share of the global microtome blades market in 2017 owing to increasing demand from hospitals & clinics for histopathology procedures such as biopsy & tissue sectioning.
Product Definition:
A microtome blade is a thin, sharp piece of metal used to slice very thin sections of biological tissue for microscopic examination. The importance of microtome blades is that they produce the most accurate and consistent slices possible, which is essential for accurate tissue analysis.
Disposable Blades:
Disposable blades are used in microtome blades market for cutting tissues and thin sections of biological specimens. It is a versatile tool that can be used to cut through human skin with no risk of disease transmission. Disposable blades are made up of high-grade steel and have replaceable cutting edges, which makes them cost effective as compared to conventional surgical knives.
Permanent Blades:
Permanent blades are made of special material which does not rust, wear or break down and hence they serve the purpose for a longer time. Microtome blades are used in cutting instruments such as scalpels, guillotine and other medical devices. The microtome blade is fixed with the help of screw that holds it to the frame while using it.
Application Insights:
The others application segment includes the market for microtomes blades in the pharmaceutical industry, research and education, and other applications such as agriculture and food processing. The medical application segment accounted for a major share in 2015 owing to increasing demand from hospitals. In addition, growing government initiatives to improve healthcare infrastructure are expected to boost product demand over the forecast period.
Petroleum is expected to be one of the fastest-growing industries globally over the next few years due largely to ongoing developments in shale gas reserves particularly in North America region. This is anticipated further drive growth of microtome blades market as these devices help reduce preparation time by half when compared with traditional methods used by surgeons while cutting through rock layers or hard surfaces within oil exploration tunnels or wells.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period. North America has a well-established healthcare infrastructure, which makes it an attractive regional market for medical and surgical instruments and devices. Moreover, increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries such as endoscopy is also driving the demand microtome blades in this region.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to be one of the fastest-growing regions over the forecast period owing to rising disposable income coupled with growing health awareness among people in developing countries such as India and China. Furthermore, increasing government initiatives towards quality healthcare services are projected to further fuel growth during the estimated time span (2018 - 2030).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for histopathology and immunohistochemistry procedures
- Growing number of cancer patients
- Rising prevalence of chronic diseases
- Technological advancements in the field of microscopy
- Increasing use of microtome blades in research and educational institutes
