Description
Surface science technologies include instruments involved in analyzing and observing the chemical and physical surface properties of a material, with this report focusing primarily on the the use of various microscopy techniques. With an expected average growth rate of 5.6% from 2015 to 2020. While optical and electron microscopes remain the largest segments, scanning probe microscopes and confocal & advanced microscopes are expected to experience the highest growth rates. Carl Zeiss is the market leader for surface science technologies. Thermo Fisher’s 2016 acquisition of FEI has placed it in a strong position with other competitors that include JEOL, Nikon Leica and Olympus. Other notable suppliers of surface science instruments include Motic, a leader in optical microscopy, Ulvac-PHI, a strong provider of surface analyzers, and Shimadzu, which has a presence in SPM, surface analyzers, and electron microscopy.
