Electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses a beam of electrons to create an image of the specimen under analysis, while sample preparation is a very crucial step when it comes to the examination of samples in the electron microscope. The global electron microscopy & sample preparation market was valued at USD 1.6 billion in 2014, which is expected to reach USD 2.7 billion by 2019, at a CAGR of 11.1% from 2014 to 2019.
Technological advancements in workstations, global alliances among leading research institutes to boost drug discovery, and recent advancements made in the field of analytical instruments are propelling the growth of the electron microscopy & sample preparation market. However, difficulty in developing one-size-fits-all kits and high costs of workstations act as major market restraints hindering its market growth.
