Technavio’s hardware and semiconductor research analysts categorize the global scanning electron microscope market into the following segments by end-user. They are:
- Semiconductors
- Life sciences
- Material sciences
- Nanotechnology
The top three end-user segments for the global scanning electron microscope market are discussed below:
Semiconductors
The semiconductor industry has been the largest end-user for SEMs ever since their inception for commercial use. With the global consumer electronics industry focusing extensively on miniaturization of electronic devices, semiconductor manufacturers are continuously reducing line widths and investing in the development of new and advanced semiconductor components.
According to Chetan Mohan, a lead semiconductor equipment research analyst from Technavio, “Semiconductors such as silicon chips are used in a wide range of electronic devices including computers. The development of these semiconductors requires high-precision analysis of the different layers of the semiconductors. Factors such as volume, bulk, thickness, and layer intactness need to be studied for the development and production of semiconductors for miniaturized electronic devices.”
Life sciences
The life sciences segment was the second largest end-user segment in the global SEM market as of 2016. There are several applications for SEMs in the life sciences segment. SEM is one of the most important tools used for cross-sectional precision imaging in microbiology, biology, zoology, botany, physiology, and biochemistry.
“The technological advances in the life sciences segment are driving the growth of R&D operations and have consecutively led to the rising demand for high-precision, resolution, and quality imaging. This has led to the high penetration of SEMs in the life sciences segment,” says Chetan.
Material sciences
The material sciences segment is the third largest revenue contributor in the global SEM market as of 2016. The sector involves a meticulous study of physical and chemical properties of materials, mainly for the design and discovery of new and advanced materials such as metals and minerals.
Technological advances in this segment have resulted in scientists and researchers discovering and developing better smart materials. The demand for new and advanced, synthetically developed and engineered materials is continuously increasing. For instance, the demand for self-curing concrete, which is a synthetically developed construction material, is increasing in the construction industry due to an increase in the number of public infrastructure projects across the globe.
