Global Microscopy Devices Market- Regional Analysis

Among regions, North America is estimated to hold a dominant position in the global microscopy devices market over the forecast period. North America holds 45.1% of the market share due to the increasing partnerships of market players in the region to develop advanced microscopes. For instance, in June 2022, ZEISS Microscopy a manufacturer of microscope system entered into a strategic partnership with LabCentral, a non-profit company, to support biotech research start-ups in the Boston, USA, area. This partnership will work to develop routine cell culture assessment, automated high-resolution imaging of live cells, and whole slide scanning of fixed cells and tissues.

Global Microscopy Devices Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others, are facing problems with the transportation of drugs from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the global microscopy devices market. For instance, according to the research article published in September 2020 in the “Nature” journal, the researchers used high-resolution scanning electron microscopy for the ultrastructural analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 virus interaction with the host cell.
