Microtome Market is Growing at a Promising CAGR of 6.1% During Forecast 2019-2025
Market
Forecast:
A microtome is
a tool used to cut extremely thin sections of tissue samples. Microtomes help
in extremely fine cuts that are important for preparations used in microscopy.
Different kinds of microtomes made up of metals and glass are used depending on
the type of specimen and the desired thickness.
The
global Microtome
Market is projected to register a CAGR of 6.1% and
accounted for USD ~120 million in 2018.
The growth of
the global microtome market is driven by various factors such as an increase in
the incidence of chronic disorders, increasing prevalence of lifestyle
diseases, and increasing mergers & acquisitions by prominent players in the
market. However, lack of skilled workforce is projected to hamper the growth of
the global microtome market.
The global
microtome market is currently dominated by several market players such as
Danaher Corporation, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Sakura Finetek, among
others. Additionally, growing growth strategies adopted by market players are
driving the growth of the market. For instance, in 2018, Sakura Finetek
launched Accu-Cut SRM 300 LT, manual microtome.

Segmentation:
·
The Global Microtome Market has been
segmented based on product, application, technology, and end-user.
·
The market, based on product, has been
divided into instruments and accessories. Instruments are further sub-segmented
into rotary microtomes, cryostat microtomes, vibrating microtomes, and others.
Instruments are expected to hold the largest share, due to the commercial
availability of these systems and their high adoption rate due to ease of
handling.
·
In terms of application, the global microtome market has been
segmented into disease diagnosis and medical research. Disease diagnosis takes
up the largest share due to the increasing number of tissue examinations
in research laboratories and hospitals owing to rising awareness about the
benefits of early diagnosis of diseases like cancer.
·
In terms of technology, the global microtome market has been
segmented into manual, semi-automated microtomes, and fully automated
microtomes. The fully automated segment held the majority share due to rising
demand for technologically advanced products and its ability to show the
highest precision in section thickness. Additionally, fully automated
microtomes do not require tedious manual adjustments.
·
In terms of end-user, the global microtome market has been
segmented into hospital laboratories and clinical laboratories. Hospital
laboratories take up the largest share. The positive growth of hospitals
is attributed to factors such as a high volume of routine tissue examinations
performed in hospital-based laboratories across the globe and growing patient
population.
Regional
Analysis:
Americas:
The Americas holds the largest share in the global microtome market.
North
America: The North American market for Microtome is growing at a substantial
rate. This is attributed to the increasing
number of patients affected by chronic disorders and the growing presence of
major market players.
US: Major
market players are involved in strategic partnerships and product launches to
come up with innovative products. Moreover, the rising cases of cancer among
the US population is driving market growth. For instance, in May 2018, Leica
Biosystems, part of Danaher, introduced new line of rotary microtomes to its
full line of histology equipment and consumables. This new product includes
HistoCore BIOCUT, HistoCore MULTICUT, and HistoCoreAUTOCUT clinical microtomes.
Latin
America: Improving investments in research & development by market players is
expected to fuel the growth of the market in this region.
Europe: The growing awareness
among the population regarding chronic disorders is expected to boost the
growth of the regional market
