Market Overview:
The global scanning probe microscopes (SPM) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth of the SPM market can be attributed to the increasing demand for miniaturization and higher resolution in various applications such as laboratory, research institutions, and other segments. Additionally, the advent of new technologies such as atomic force microscope (AFM), laser force microscope (LFM), and magnetic force microscope (MFM) is also propelling the growth of this market. However, high cost associated with these instruments may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period. On basis on type, AFMs held a major share in 2017 and is projected to maintain its dominance during forecast period owing to its advantages over other types such as LFM and MFM.

Product Definition:
Scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) are a type of microscope that use a scanning probe to image the surface of a specimen. The scanning probe is typically a sharp metal tip that is brought into close proximity to the specimen. As the tip moves across the surface, it measures small changes in height and electrical properties, which are used to create an image of the surface.
Atomic Force Microscope:
Atomic force microscope (AFM) is a tool that uses the concept of atomic force to examine small areas with high resolution. It works by creating an electrical current and then measuring the deflection of individual atoms or molecules due to this current. AFM’s are used in various fields such as pharmaceutical, research institutes, academic institutions for research purposes, quality control in manufacturing industries and chemical analysis among others.
Laser Force Microscope:
The laser force microscope is a tool that uses a powerful beam of light to scan the surface under study. The scanning probe microscope utilizes this phenomenon to view surfaces as they would appear if covered with an x-ray film. It works by directing and focusing a laser on the surface of an object, which creates images from oscillating shadows and bright spots as it’s reflected in the mirror attached to it.
Application Insights:
The research institutions segment dominated the global scanning probe microscopes(SPM) market in 2017. This is attributed to the rising number of R&D activities at various academic and research institutions across the globe. For instance, as per a 2016 study published by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), around 54% of all scientific papers were contributed by universities and other academic institutions, while 46% were contributed by industries and private companies. Thus, it can be presumed that a large part of R&D activities are carried out at these institutes which contributes towards revenue generation in this segment.
On the other hand, laboratory use scanning probe microscopes for various applications such as quality control testing during manufacturing process or assembly line validation to ensure product quality before mass production begins.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global scanning probe microscopes market in 2017. North America is home to a large number of research organizations and universities that are actively engaged in R&D activities related to various fields, including materials science, nanotechnology, biotechnology and others. These factors have contributed significantly towards the growth of SPM market in this region.
Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a lucrative rate over the forecast period owing to increasing government funding for basic research as well as applied research projects across several Asian countries such as India, China and Japan among others.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for miniaturization in electronics industry is expected to drive the SPM market growth.
- Rising research and development expenditure by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies is also anticipated to propel the SPM market growth over the forecast period.
- Growing number of nanotechnology-based products in various end-use industries is projected to fuel the SPM market demand during the forecast period.
- Increasing use of scanning probe microscopes in failure analysis, material characterization, and process control are some of the key factors that are expected to boost the SPM market growth over next few years
