microtome Market

The microtomemarket was valued at US$ 132.6 millionin 2019 and is projected to reach US$ 204.3 millionby 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2020 to 2027.

The rising prevalence of cancer and increasing adoption of digital pathology are the key factors fueling the market growth. Moreover, growing focus on personalized medicineis expected to foster the market growth during the forecast period. However, the lack of adoption of microtomes in low-income countries hinders the growth of the microtomemarket.

Microtome devices are used for sample preparation in laboratories. They are used to prepare thin slices of biological specimens into evenly thin sections for a detailed microscopic examination. A clear understanding of the structure of tissue samples is essential to understand the changes occurring in the tissue during diseaseprogression. The rise in number of cancer cases, as well as increasing adoption of microtomes in histology labs, fuels the growth of the microtome market.

The global microtomemarket is segmented on the basis of product, technology, and end user.Based on product,the marketis segmented intomicrotome instruments and microtome accessories.
