The aerospace and automotive segment was valued at USD 69.33 million in 2017. Products in the aerospace and automotive industries manufactured using 3D optical microscopy include bearings, brakes, clutches, and motors. Therefore, numerous applications of s in the aerospace and automotive sectors are expected to drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
The white light interferometry segment captured the largest market share in the global market in 2022. White light interferometry (WLI)--based 3D optical microscopy enables vertical scanning along the Z-axis, focusing on each point on the test surface with one acquisition for each step along the Z-axis. Compared to confocal approaches, this technique is fast. WLI-based 3D optical microscopy can be used to examine samples with different reflectances. Therefore, advantages such as efficiency and rapid sub-nanometer measurements are expected to drive the growth of the WLI segment of the market during the forecast period.
The laser scanning confocal microscopy segment carried the smallest market share in the global market in 2022. Confocal microscopy is the process of acquiring images from a focal plane, optically removing noise caused by sample thickness. Instead of illuminating the entire sample as in traditional wide-field microscopy, laser scanning allows images to be captured at specific points under localized laser stimulation. The increasing use of this technology in biomedical sciences is anticipated to drive the growth of the confocal laser scanning microscope segment, thereby driving the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
Increasing funding for R&D is the key factor driving the growth of the market. Technological advances and the need for better research analysis have enabled researchers to extract information and knowledge about diseases in the healthcare field and to use microscopy equipment such as 3D light microscopes for research projects and research studies. Global funding for these projects has increased the number of clinical tests, further increasing the demand for microscopy equipment, including 3D light microscopes.
Additionally, cross-border cooperation funding is another factor contributing to the high demand for 3D optical microscopy. To save time and effort in the research process in the field of health diagnosis, various countries are placing more and more emphasis on research and development expenditure. Therefore, increasing funding for research and development is expected to drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
Growing number of collaborations with academic institutes is the primary trend shaping the growth of the market. The market is growing as major players in the industry focus on collaboration with universities to better understand the application of 3D optical microscopy in various applications such as advances in solar cells, development of new nanomaterials, and semiconductor manufacturing. For example, the Department of Nanofabrication at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem makes extensive use of laboratory equipment such as s.
Moreover, universities and customers use Contour GT, a , to rapidly make accurate roughness measurements on micromachined surfaces. Such collaborations lead to raised product adoption in the market and contribute to product marketing. Therefore, increasing collaboration with research institutes and institutions is expected to drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
A long lifespan leads to a low repurchase cycle is a challenge that affects the growth of the market. On average, the useful life of a is approximately eight years. The device can operate effectively and provide accurate results with minimal maintenance throughout its service life. Due to the relatively long service life and high price, customers are much less likely to buy 3D optimal microscopes.
Moreover, microscope accessories such as slides, coverslips, and even digital cables may need to be purchased frequently over the life of the instrument, but customers often rely on low-cost third-party market players for these products. This will reduce the frequency of repeat purchases. This is likely to impede the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
