3. Market Leadership - Atomic Force Microscopy Market

The atomic force microscopy market is projected to grow from USD 489 million in 2021 to USD 631 million by 2026; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2021 to 2026. Atomic force microscopy is an imaging technique for studying samples by generating images at an ultra-high resolution. It is an empowered technology that is vital for the measurements of minute samples with a substantial degree of accuracy. Currently, a collaboration between government-sponsored researchers and private firms is becoming vitally important for the commercialization of nanotechnology. Most nanotechnology labs use atomic force microscopes because they are easy to use and enable manufacturing of improved materials and reliable products, thereby augmenting the growth of the atomic force microscopy market.

Although the atomic force microscopy market is growing at a steady pace, the market is consolidated among the top 5 players, but competitive among other players as well. Key strategies adopted by top players to enhance their product portfolios, increase their market share and expand their presence in the market mainly include new product launches and acquisitions. For instance, in July 2020, Bruker (US) released the NanoRacer high-speed AFM system. With an unprecedented imaging speed of 50 frames per second, this sets a new milestone in high-speed scanning capabilities to enable true real-time visualization of dynamic biological processes using atomic force microscopy. In June 2020, Park Systems (South Korea) announced the launch of the Park NX-TSH, an automated Tip Scan Head for large sample analysis over 300 mm. In April 2019, Bruker (US) announced the acquisition of the semiconductor mask repair and cleaning business of Rave, a leading provider of nanomachining and laser photomask repair equipment based in Florida, US. The acquisition added to Bruker’s leadership position in automated AFM for semiconductor photomask and wafer metrology. The combined offering uniquely positioned Bruker’s Semiconductor division to offer unmatched solutions for nanomachining mask repair and cleaning, as well as metrology for advanced nodes for EUV and multi-patterning lithography.
