A global forcast to 2024 for The microtomes market is upto USD 177 million
A microtome
is a sample preparation device that is commonly used in laboratories.
Microtomes are used to cut thin slices of a sample that are then processed for
examination under microscopes. Before the introduction of microtomes, samples
were prepared manually with knives and razors. The manual method, on the other
hand, has a limitation in terms of slice thickness.
Advances in
microscopy-based diagnostic tools have resulted in high demand for more
precise sample preparation devices such as ultra-microtomes, also known as ultra times. The automated microtomes market segment is expected to benefit from
this and grow significantly during the forecast period. The use of cytological
studies on tissue samples for cancer detection is increasing. From 2017 to 2025, this factor is
expected to drive the microtomes market. Microtomes are also used in R&D
applications in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries. Microtomes are
used in agriculture and environmental sciences, in addition to clinical
applications.
The
microtomes market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5 percent from USD 129
million in 2019 to USD 177 million by 2024. This market is expanding rapidly as
a result of rising healthcare expenditures, digital pathology, and the high
prevalence of cancer. The market's growth is likely to be hampered by a
scarcity of skilled professionals.
Some of The most popular modules on the market are rotary microtomes, cryostat microtomes,
and vibrating microtomes. The rotary microtomes segment held the largest market
share in 2018 and is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast
period. This is due to the benefits of rotary microtomes, such as their ability
to cut thin sections (2–3 mm).
The
microtomes market is divided into three categories based on technology: manual,
semi-automated, and fully automated microtomes. In 2018, the manual microtomes
segment held the largest market share. Manual microtomes are less expensive and
easier to use than automatic and semi-automatic microtomes. These factors
contribute to their market acceptance.
The
microtomes market is divided into four regions: North America, Europe, Asia
Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America had the largest market share
in 2018, followed by Europe. The region's easy access to advanced technologies, expanding
opportunities for advanced cancer diagnostic testing and screening, favorable
reimbursement scenario for anatomic pathology diagnostic tests, rising
healthcare expenditure, and presence of high-quality infrastructure for
hospitals and clinical laboratories are the major factors driving the growth of
the microtomes market in North America.
In 2018,
Danaher Corporation (Germany) was a key player in the microtomes market. The company boasts a diverse product portfolio and global client support services.
The company has maintained its market leadership over the years through
continuous innovation and the introduction of cutting-edge products.
Thermo
Fisher Scientific (US), Sakura Finetek (Japan), Danaher Corporation (US),
MEDITE GmbH (Germany), SLEE Medical GmbH (Germany), and Histo-Line Laboratories
(France) are among the key players in this market.
