Micromanipulators Market Overview:
The Micromanipulators Market size was estimated to be $40 million in 2014 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25.8%, from 2015 to 2020. Micromanipulator is a device, which is used to perform intricate procedures or manipulate minute specimens using a microscope.
These devices are generally used along with a microscope equipped with an input joystick, a mechanism to reduce the area of movement. They cater to a wide variety of applications ranging from cell micromanipulation to industrial micromanipulation, embracing semiconductors and electronic industries, among others. Popular types used for a wide range of applications, which depends on the precision and control required at the micro levels. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is the most common application of cell micromanipulation techniques in humans. Rising incidence of infertility cases across the globe is the major factor boosting the adoption rate for obtaining rapid results in IVF-ICSI procedures.
The global micromanipulators market is driven by increasing male infertility, growing adoption of IVF technique, growing semiconductor and electronics industries in the developing economies and technological advancements. In addition, high-resolution capability of these devices has opened up new avenues for R & D activities in the fields of neurology and cell biology. This trend is expected to drive growth in future. However, the high cost associated with sophisticated systems is likely to impede the industrial growth. These devices exhibit a wide range of applications in semiconductors and electronics industry, which include wafer probing, analytical probing stations and testing wafers for semiconductor parameters. They are also used to correctly orient the probe into pads for injecting test vectors in semiconductors and electronics industries. “The Micromanipulator Company” is the leading company that supplies these systems for semiconductor and microelectronics industries. Some of the probing stations provided by the company, includes P300J, P300A, 4060 and 450PM, which incorporate micromanipulators.
The micromanipulators market is segmented based on types, applications, and geography. The two major application segments include cell micromanipulation and industrial micromanipulation. Cell micromanipulation is further segmented into embryonic stem cell transfer, intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), pronuclear zygote injection, embryo reconstruction, micro-surgical applications and biopsy applications. ICSI is the highest revenue-generating segment in the cell micromanipulation application sector, owing to its specificity and ability to assist fertilization by placing a single sperm directly inside the egg using micromanipulator. The segment of other micromanipulation application, includes academic research and drug discovery and development, where the systems are used for various microsurgical procedures or electrophysiological work, among others. For instance, the PathStar micromanipulator developed by Scientifica Ltd. is a micromanipulator with extremely low electrical noise with versatile modular design and user friendly controls, which offer a wide range of applications in many laboratories for microinjection, electrophysiological and other requirements. Industrial micromanipulation industry is further segmented into semiconductors & microelectronics, flat screens and others. Semiconductors & microelectronics segment constitutes the highest share in industrial micromanipulation sector. In the semiconductors & microelectronics industry, they have a wide range of applications, such as probing systems, position microelectrodes, optical device probing and positioning test probes on small or medium-scale integrated circuits and hybrid devices.
The micromanipulators market, by type is categorized into hydraulic, electric, and manual. Among these, electric equipment occupied a greater share and size throughout the forecast period. However, manual segment leads in terms of volume, owing to the largest units sold during the analysis period. Based on geography, the micromanipulators market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. North America would continue to dominate the micromanipulators market until 2020, on account of intense study, high awareness among the consumers for the adoption of these devices and heavy investment in the research field. However, Asia Pacific region would be growing rapidly, registering a CAGR of 28.5% during 2015-2020.
The key companies operating in the sector, include Narishige Co. Ltd., Research Instruments Ltd., Eppendorf AG, Sutter Instruments, The Micromanipulator Company, Sensapex, Inc., Luigs and Neumann, Scientifica, Ltd., and Siskiyou Corporation, among others. These companies offer micromanipulation technology across all the micromanipulation application sectors.
