The software segment to witness highest CAGR in atomic force microscopy market during forecast period.
The rapid growth in the use of software within atomic force microscopy (AFM) reflects the broader shift toward digitalization and intelligent automation in nanotechnology research and precision manufacturing. Software now plays a critical role in enhancing the efficiency, functionality, and accessibility of AFM systems. Advanced control software enables automated tip engagement, scan optimization, and adaptive feedback mechanisms, significantly reducing the need for manual intervention and improving reproducibility. Moreover, software-driven batch analysis and data stitching functions have become essential as AFM is increasingly applied in high-throughput environments such as semiconductor inspection and biomedical research. Integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning further enhances AFM performance by enabling predictive maintenance, defect classification, and pattern recognition in large datasets. These capabilities are especially valuable in quality control and failure analysis, where speed and accuracy are paramount.
Semiconductors & electronics segment to witness highest CAGR in atomic force microscopy market during forecast period.
The semiconductor & electronics segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR in the atomic force microscopy market due to the rising complexity and miniaturization of electronic components. As semiconductor nodes shrink below 5 nanometers and advanced packaging technologies such as 3D ICs and chiplets gain prominence, high-resolution, non-destructive surface analysis tools become critical. Moreover, the shift toward heterogeneous integration and the increasing demand for high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and 5G-enabled devices has accelerated the adoption of advanced metrology tools in research and mass production environments. Governments and private enterprises across Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe are investing heavily in semiconductor manufacturing to strengthen domestic supply chains and reduce reliance on imports, further driving demand for precision instruments such as AFMs. Additionally, the role of AFM in process control, material characterization, and failure analysis in electronics manufacturing reinforces its importance, contributing to sustained and rapid growth in this segment.
Europe held the second largest share of the atomic force microscopy market in 2024.
Europe held the second largest atomic force microscopy market share, supported by a well-established research infrastructure and a strong industrial base. Countries such as Germany, the UK, France, Switzerland, and Italy host renowned universities and research institutions actively involved in nanotechnology, materials science, and life sciences. These are key application areas for atomic force microscopes. The European Commission’s Horizon Europe program has allocated substantial funding to support nanotechnology research, accelerating the adoption of advanced instrumentation across the region. Additionally, Europe is home to several prominent atomic force microscope manufacturers, including Oxford Instruments (UK), Nanosurf (Switzerland), and Anton Paar GmbH (Austria). The presence of these companies strengthens the local supply chain and facilitates collaboration between academia and industry.
The key companies in the atomic force microscopy market are Park Systems (South Korea), Bruker (US), Hitachi High-Tech Corporation (Japan), Oxford Instruments (UK), and Semilab Inc. (Hungary).
