显微镜软件有能力共享和collaborate on research data more easily. With cloud-based storage and sharing platforms, researchers can quickly and securely share their images and data with colleagues and collaborators around the world, enabling more efficient and effective collaboration. In May 2022, a research article published in Wiley Analytical Science stated that the microscopy image database OMERO could be used as a research data management tool. Integration of OMERO into an IT infrastructure would help scientists to handle microscopy data.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the market positively as the demand for medical research and diagnosis increased during the pandemic which has also led to an increased demand for microscope software solutions. In addition, companies are allocating funds to conduct research, develop potential vaccines, supply or manufacture medical equipment, and produce test kits.

Type of Microscope Insights

Based on the type of microscope, the market is segmented into optical, electron, scanning probes, and other microscopes. The electron microscopes segment dominated with a 41.08% market share in 2022.Due to their elevated cost compared to optical microscopes, the primary end users of electron microscopes were well-funded research laboratories and industries. The strengthening of links between academic and research institutions and manufacturers is likely to lead to an increase in the market penetration ofelectron microscopes.

The scanning probes microscopes segment is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. These instruments are used to study specimens at the nanoscale and manipulate atoms to move in the desired pattern. In December 2019, Marposs introduceda software package compatible with its probes.It calculates the best cycle time for machines by users entering the repeatability range and workpiece positioning tolerance. This package can achieve an 80% reduction in cycle time, ensuring fast and precise probing, according to the company. Industry-oriented innovations are expected to increase the demand for microscopes.

On the other hand, the optical microscopes segment held the second-largest revenue share of the market in 2022. This is due to the widespread availability of sophisticated optical microscopy equipment and techniques. Also contributing to the growth of this market segment is the low price of optical microscope software.

Type of Software Insights

Based on type, the market has been segmented into integrated and standalone software. The integrated segment accounted for the largest market share of 76.64% in 2022. This can be attributed to high utilization by researchers due to its ability to integrate multiple imaging techniques to provide a more comprehensive analysis of samples and perform various functions such as image processing, data analysis, and automation in one place.

Key players such as ZEISS, Nikon Instruments Inc., and Leica Microsystems offer a range of integrated software for microscopes such as ZEN, NIS-Elements, and LAS X. Their integrated features help in increasing productivity, reducing cost, and time required for performing multiple tasks related to medical, educational, and industrial purposes.

The standalone segment accounted for a significant market share in 2022, owing to its wide application base in a variety of fields, including biology, materials science, and nanotechnology. This leads to a boost in the market demand for standalone software for microscopes.

Application Insights

Based on application, the microscope software market has been segmented into life science, material science, nanotechnology, semiconductors, and others. In 2022, the life science segment held the largest market share at 29.14%. Compound microscopes, such as inverted, upright, and laser microdissection, fluorescence, and digital microscopes, are utilized in life sciences research. Furthermore, the expanding application scope in disease diagnosis is driving the market growth.

Furthermore, the increased emphasis on research and development for applications such asneuroscience, biological sciences, semi-conductor, and nanotechnology is predicted to enhance the adoption rate of super-resolution microscopes. These microscopes have picture resolutions as high as 10 nm, which is necessary when studying cell signaling pathways and cancer cell proliferation.

Global Microscope Software Market share and size, 2022

During the forecast period, the nanotechnology segment is anticipated to experience the highest market growth rate. Huge investments are being poured into nanotechnology research and development, thereby expanding product applications. It is anticipated that the introduction of new software-powered microscopic devices for research will contribute positively to segment growth. For instance, in May 2018, JEOL Ltd. partnered with Digital Surf to launch SMILE VIEW Map software for use with its SEM systems, with applications in biology, medicine, ceramics, semiconductors, metals, and nanotechnology.

Regional Insights

Based on region, Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2022, capturing the largest revenue share of more than 36.26%. Its market growth rate is expected to be the fastest, with a CAGR of 9.22% over the forecast period.
