Global Flow Imaging Microscopy Market

Global Flow Imaging Microscopy (Dynamic Image Analysis) Market Insights

Flow imaging microscopy or dynamic imaging is used to study the size distribution, roughness, shape, symmetry, and color of particles within samples that cannot be visualized with the human eye. This method is largely used in the study of novel micro and nanomaterials, especially in the biotechnology field. Imaging of particles is an important analytical tool to researchers and industries that invest heavily in the development of micro and nanomaterials. This has resulted in an increasing need for faster, more efficient, and dynamic imaging techniques which has resulted in the growth of the flow imaging microscopy market. New materials especially biomaterials are subject to stringent laws and regulations by the concerned authorities in every country or region. This has also been a driving factor in the growth of the flow imaging market.

Global Flow Imaging Microscopy Market: By Sample Type

Based on the type of sample, the market is segmented into liquid & viscous samples, micro & nanofibers, large & small biomolecules, and other samples. The large biomolecules segment will be the largest one, as it consists of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids which are the fundamental building blocks of biomaterials. Given the invasive nature of novel biomolecules, they are susceptible to heavier scrutiny from governments which has increased the need for an extensive study of these molecules through flow imaging microscopy.

Global Flow Imaging Microscopy Market: By Sample Dispersion

As samples are dispersed differently based on their unique characteristics and requirements the market can be segmented into wet and dry dispersed samples. Biotechnology and pharmaceutical samples are largely dispersed within a liquid medium. Along with the rise in the use of nanotechnology in the food and beverage industries, the wet dispersion segment holds the largest share of the market.

Global Flow Imaging Microscopy Market: By End User

Based on the end-user, the market can be segmented into biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical companies, research & academia, food & beverage industries, chemical & petrochemical industries, water testing laboratories, and metal manufacturers. Biotechnology companies hold the largest market share as of 2020. With the rising advancement in technology, the research and development of new treatments with novel biomaterials are on the rise. The increasing public and private funding in biotechnology companies have led to heavier demand for flow Imaging techniques within this industry.

Global Flow Imaging Microscopy Market: By Region

The North American region holds the largest market share while the Asia Pacific region will have the highest CAGR for the forecast period (2021-2026). Heavy investment in healthcare and stricter laws and regulations on pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, and food & beverage industries are the major driving factors for the North American market. APAC region holds a lot of potential as investments in novel bio nanomaterials are on the rise, with more stringent regulations expected to be placed on these materials to ensure quality. There has also been a gradual shift in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products from developed nations to Asian countries. Hence, the APAC market is slowly emerging as a major player in the growth of the flow imaging microscopy market.
