Cryo-electron microscopy is a technique used in structural biology to visualize biological molecules, such as proteins and viruses, at high resolution. The process involves freezing the sample in a thin layer of vitreous ice and then imaging it with an electron microscope. Cryo-electron microscopy has revolutionized the field of structural biology, allowing researchers to obtain detailed 3D structures of complex biological molecules.

The technique has revolutionized the field of structural biology and has become an essential tool for drug discovery, disease research, and protein engineering. Cryo-electron microscopy is particularly useful for studying large and complex molecules, such as proteins and viruses, that cannot be easily analyzed using other imaging techniques.

COVID-19 has disrupted research activities across the globe, leading to delays in research projects and reduced funding for some areas of research. This has had a negative impact on the market, with some research institutions and biotechnology companies cutting back on investments in advanced imaging technologies.

Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers
Cryo-electron microscopy is becoming increasingly popular due to its high resolution and ability to image large and complex molecules. As a result, there is a growing demand for Cryo-electron microscopy in drug discovery, protein engineering, and disease research. Also, developing new and advanced Cryo-electron microscopy imaging technologies drives market growth as researchers seek more precise and accurate imaging of biological molecules. These advancements include improved electron detectors, software algorithms for image analysis, and sample preparation methods.

In addition, Governments, academic institutions, and biotechnology companies invest in life sciences research, including Cryo-electron microscopy research to develop new treatments and therapies for various diseases. This is driving demand for Cryo-electron microscopy technology and contributing to market growth.

For instance, In September 2021, the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) opened a new Cryo-EM facility with six new microscopes, making it the largest Cryo-EM facility in the world. The facility will support structural biology, biophysics, and drug discovery research.

However, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cancer, Alzheimer's, and cardiovascular diseases, drives demand for advanced imaging technologies like Cryo-electron microscopy. This is because Cryo-electron microscopy can be used to study the structure of disease-causing proteins, leading to a better understanding of the molecular basis of these diseases. This factor drives the growth of the cryo-electron microscopy market.

The Instrument Segment Accounted for the Highest Market Share in 2022

Instrument segments play a critical role in the Cryo-electron microscopy imaging process and offer benefits and limitations. The choice of instrument depends on the specific application and the desired resolution and throughput. The market for instrument segments is expected to grow as the demand for Cryo-electron microscopy imaging continues to increase in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and academic research sectors.

The Scanning Electron Microscopy Segment Holds a Significant Market Share

The scanning electron microscopy segment holds a significant market share owing to it being preferred for particle size analysis due to its resolution of 10 nm, that is, 100 Å.  An SEM scans a focused stream of electrons over a surface to create an image. The electrons in the beam interact with the sample, thereby producing various signals that can be used to obtain information about the surface’s topography and composition.

The increasing demand for high-resolution imaging of biological molecules and structures will likely drive growth in the SEMs segment.

North America Anticipated Dominating the Global Market over the Forecast Period
