Acoustic Microscope Market Outlook
The Global Acoustic Microscope Market was estimated at USD 160.1 million in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD 202.4 million by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 3.0% during the forecast period. The acoustic microscope is a type of microscope that uses sound waves instead of light waves to produce high-resolution images of materials.
It is particularly useful for examining solid materials, such as metals, ceramics, and polymers. In an acoustic microscope, a high-frequency sound wave is generated by a transducer and focused on to the material being examined. As the sound wave travels through the material, it interacts with its internal structure, producing echoes detected by the SAMe or another transducer.
Acoustic microscopy is a technique that employs high or ultra-high frequency ultrasound, which is basically non-destructive testing. Acoustic microscopy penetrates solid materials, which results in making visible images of defects such as cracks, delamination, and voids. By enhancing the ability to study a sample, scientists get accurate data and gain understanding.
Macro-economic Factors
Governmental Regulations
Government regulations play a vital role in shaping the acoustic microscope market. For instance, various regulations in industries such as aerospace and defence, healthcare, and others are driving the demand for non-destructive testing solutions. Regulation is required to maintain the quality and reliability of products to ensure safety.
An increase in regulations toward safety by governments of various countries and international bodies, and the growth of several end-use industries are anticipated to drive the demand for acoustic microscope during the forecast period.
Coronavirus
The outbreak of coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19) had a moderate impact on the global acoustic microscope market. Demand for acoustic microscope has increased, due to the widespread use of acoustic microscopes in semiconductors & electronics, automotive, and material science during the pandemic.
As of April 5, 2023, more than 684,289,335 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were reported, and over 6,833,794 deaths were caused by the disease globally. COVID-19 cases have been registered in more than 223 countries and territories across the globe.
COVID-19 is changing the perception of the current global supply chain in manufacturing, potentially leading to more localized value chains and further regionalization to minimize similar risks posed by the pandemic. The semiconductor manufacturing industry and automotive industries around the globe are using acoustic microscopes in failure analysis and non-destructive evaluation. It has applications in biological and medical research.
