Microtome Market Size, Share, Trends, Growth, Production, Consumption, Revenue, Company Analysis and Forecast 2021-2030

The global Microtome market size is expected to be worth around US$ 73.5 million by 2030, according to a new report by Vision Research Reports.

The global Microtome market size was valued at US$ 58.6 million in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 14.6% during forecast period 2021 to 2030.

Growth Factors

 Growing awareness about early diagnosis of chronic diseases and increasing demand for technologically advanced diagnostic equipment are some of the key factors anticipated to drive the market.

According to the estimates of Laboratory Economics, in 2012, over USD 20 billion was spent on laboratory mergers between 1996 and 2011. In 2011, approximately USD 3.5 billion was spent on laboratory mergers. Increasing worldwide geriatric population, growing healthcare expenditure, and rising patient awareness regarding early disease diagnosis are some of the key factors expected to propel the tissue diagnostics market. This, in turn, is likely to boost demand for tissue slicing equipment. However, reimbursement cuts and hospital consolidation are some of the factors expected to hamper growth.

Although the U.S. ranks first in terms of per capita healthcare spending, spending on clinical laboratories is significantly lower as compared to other healthcare aspects. Moreover, overall growth in the clinical laboratory market is majorly dependent on demographic factors, technological, medical, & scientific advancements, and disease burden specific to that region. Developed economies, such as the U.S., Germany, Japan, Canada, and France, have huge R&D budgets, higher technological advancements, and more awareness regarding various health aspects as compared to developing economies. This is likely to account for majority of the share in these regions.

Growing number of histopathology laboratories, high growth potential of anatomical pathology labs in emerging economies, and rising awareness regarding digital pathological systems are some key attributes that can provide new opportunities to players. Adoption rate of histology equipment is expected to gain substantial momentum owing to growing usage of technologically advanced biomarkers in diagnosing various diseases such as cancer and other infectious diseases.

Report Highlights

Microtome devices emerged as the leading product category and accounted for over 71% of the total revenue in 2020. Commercial availability of these systems and their high adoption due to ease of handling are some of the key factors that can be attributed to the revenue share in 2020. The market is majorly dominated by few products such as Semi-Automatic Rotary Microtome M530 by MEDITE GmbH, Cryostat Microtome SMI-3010 by S.M. Scientific Instruments Pvt. Ltd., CUT 4062 manual precision microtome by SLEE medical GmbH, and CR-X Cryo System by Boeckeler Instruments, Inc.

Rotary microtome held majority of the revenue share in 2020 owing to its huge commercial presence as compared to other types of devices. More than 60% of the commercial device is rotary, which is one of the key factors that can be attributed to the growth of this segment. On average, typical manual rotary equipment costs approximately USD 5,900.

The accessories segment is anticipated to exhibit the highest growth. Growing demand for these accessories in hospitals & clinics due to easy availability is also one of the pivotal factors expected to drive the market. Technological advancements in microtome such as portability and some other features such as user-friendly operability and low maintenance cost are also expected to propel growth over the next few years.

fully automated devices held the majority market share of approximately 42% owing to growing demand for technologically advanced products, especially in developed economies such as the U.S., Germany, France, and Japan. Moreover, this segment is also expected to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period. Presence of huge commercially available fully automated systems and increasing demand for digitalization in tissue diagnostic procedures are some of the crucial factors anticipated to boost the market in the next few years. Some of the key automated products are Tissue Surgeon, Tissue-Tek AutoSection Automated Microtome, and PT-PC PowerTomes.

Increasing number of routine tissue examinations in research laboratories and hospitals owing to rising awareness about the benefits of early diagnosis of various diseases including cancer is amongst few factors anticipated to boost market growth. Some of the commercialized automated equipment are Leica RM2255, Tissue-Tek AutoSection, CR-X Cryo System, AEM 480 Fully-automatic Rotary Microtome, and HM 355S Automatic Microtome. Moreover, increasing workload in histopathology laboratories is expected to boost the level of automation in tissue diagnostics to optimize productivity without hampering sample quality.

Growing prevalence of cancer, increasing geriatric population, and rising demand for early disease diagnosis are few key factors anticipated to boost the histopathology industry, and, in turn, propel the market over the forecast period. Manual equipment was the first type to be launched. These systems are mainly preferred in developing economies as their prices are low. However, growing demand for technologically advanced diagnostic equipment and higher commercial presence of fully automated systems are some of the crucial factors anticipated to boost growth.

North America accounted for the largest market share of 50.1% owing to healthcare infrastructure facilities, increase in the investments by public & private sectors in presence of large number of market players, and adoption of technologically advanced products. Furthermore, increasing prevalence of cancer in North America is boosting demand for biopsies, which is leading to increased demand.

The U.S. was the leading market in 2020 and is also anticipated to hold the largest revenue share over the forecast period. This can be attributed to increasing demand for technologically advanced diagnostic equipment and growing automation in laboratories. Presence of large number of local players in this country is driving the growth of this industry. Continuous extension in product lines coupled with new product launches in the market is further expected to boost demand for these devices. Sakura, a leading manufacturer of these devices, launched the world’s first automated and programmable Tissue-Tek Autosection Automated Microtome in 2014. However, stringent state privacy laws for reuse of tissue samples may restrict the development of new tests or improvements in current tests undertaken by laboratories and manufacturers.

However, Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region over the next few years. This region is anticipated to witness enormous growth due to increasing per capita income, growing medical tourism industry, and rising public awareness regarding the benefits of early diagnosis. As compared to Japan, China is anticipated to witness faster growth in the Asia Pacific region.
