Global Atomic Force Microscopy Market was valued at approximately USD 533.83 million in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5.4% over the forecast period 2024-2032. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a critical tool in imaging and measuring surfaces at the nanoscale, providing insights into materials' topography, elasticity, adhesion, and other properties. The adoption of AFM in various industries, including semiconductors, life sciences, and material science, significantly propels market growth. AFM's application extends to fields such as pathology, disease diagnosis, toxicology, and more, making it indispensable in both research and industrial domains.
The market is driven by a robust surge in the adoption of AFM for research and manufacturing processes. AFM's capability to enhance the understanding of material properties at the nanoscale is a key factor driving its demand. The technology's utility in semiconductor manufacturing, especially for circuit editing and failure analysis, further augments market growth. The rise in funding for nanotechnology research by various governments, emphasizing the importance of advanced imaging tools like AFM, significantly contributes to the market expansion. However, the market faces restraints due to potential damage to samples during contact-mode AFM, which can affect the quality of imaging and data integrity. The need for precision and the risk of damaging delicate samples such as biological macromolecules present challenges in the widespread adoption of AFM. Also, opportunities abound with the growing investments in OLED production and expansion. The increasing demand for OLED panels in high-end smartphones has necessitated accurate measurement tools, driving the adoption of AFM for structural geometry analysis and roughness assessment. The advancements in AFM technology, such as reduced system noise and high-throughput rates, are expected to further bolster market growth.
Regionally, Asia Pacific is poised to dominate the market from 2024 to 2032 due to significant investments in R&D and the adoption of advanced technologies in semiconductor and microelectronics industries. North America is also expected to witness substantial growth driven by increased biological research in sectors such as bioprocessing, agriculture, energy, and medicine.
