Transmission Electron Microscope Market Outlook – 2027

Transmission electron microscope (TEM) is a microscope that transmits a focused electron beam through a specimen to form an image. Owing to the smaller de Broglie wavelength of the electrons, transmission electron microscopes are able to image at a substantially higher resolution than light microscopes. This allows the device to capture fine detail — just as small as a single column of atoms, that is multiple times smaller than a light microscope-like object.

TEMs are used in cancer research, virology, and materials sciences, as well as in pollution, nanotechnology, and semiconductor research, but also in other fields such as paleontology and palynology. Introduction of advanced and more developed forms of electron microscope transmission is expected to further drive the market demand. As transmission electron microscopes can also present 2D images of specimens under analysis, the size of the specimen which requires to be viewed is limited. 

Modern transmission electron microscope models combine the characteristics of both transmission electron microscopes and scanning electron microscopes. Some of the latest categories of transmission electron microscopes are electron microscopes of scanning-transmission (STEMs) and electron microscopes of reflection (REMs). REMs use electron beam to that in a transmission electron microscope, but in place of sensing electrons that travels through objects, it gather electrons that are elastically dispersed from the object. 

The global transmission electron microscope market is segmented on the basis of application, end users and region. Based on application, the market is divided into semiconductor, life sciences, material sciences, nanotechnology, automotive, aerospace, electronics, oil & gas, environmental, and water treatment. In terms of end users, the market is categorized into industrial, research institutes, hospitals, diagnostic centers, blood banks, and forensic labs. Geographically, the market is analyzed across several regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa (LAMEA).

Top Impacting Factors

The major factor that drives the demand for transmission electron microscopes is its high refining and resolution power, which offers up to several nanometers of enhanced output image. Above that, growth in demand for nanotechnology-functioning instruments also catalyzes the transmission electron microscope market growth. In addition, rise in adoption for semiconductors end use also promotes the advancement of electron microscopes, as electron microscopes are required to monitor small-sized semiconductors such as wafers. Many users of electron microscopes in various industries have increased demand cue to its high-end performance for various application of imaging.

Rise in Need for Advanced Materials and Bio-Samples Analysis in 3D

2D images are incapable to produce a clear description of a 3D structure and also in case of the nanoscale objects operations. The rise in need to assess the relationship between an object's structure and function has boosted demand for 3D structural analysis, such as electron microscopy imaging, neutron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction among others. Furthermore, for structural studies, where 3D structures are projected onto 2D images, transmission electron microscopes are found to be proficient. Therefore, the growth in need for advanced materials and bio-samples for 3D analysis would require the application of transmission electron microscope which is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
