Service Laboratory Market

Service laboratory is a process of identifying faults and defects in the products. It is the most widely used process across several industries under high quality reliability platform. Service laboratory equipment helps in analyzing the root cause of failure of an end product, device, or system in order to develop corrective action plan. It helps in improving next generation versions of the product or other products. Once the root cause for quality and productivity related problems has been identified for the manufacturing process to overcome failure mode, the service laboratory equipment is used. These instruments include scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). The overall service laboratory market was valued at USD 3.75 Billion in 2014 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.45% from 2014 to 2020.

This report provides an insight on the overall service laboratory equipment market, with detailed segmentations based on equipment, technology, application, and geography, combined with the qualitative analysis of each and every aspect of the market. The global service laboratory market has been forecast from 2014 to 2020, to provide a glimpse of the potential revenue base for this market.

The figure below shows the estimated continuous growth of the service laboratory market by industry in the period from 2013 to 2020.

The transmission electron microscope and dual-beam microscope systems segments are expected to drive the growth of the service laboratory market during the forecast period. Semiconductor companies are adding new laboratory equipment in various stages of their R&D as well product life cycle which is driving the OEM and service market. However, for small players (semiconductor, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical companies in particular), the high service laboratory costs have resulted in outsourcing of these services as a cost control activity.
