Atomic Force Microscopy Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Increasing Investment in Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) Manufacturing and Development- As high-end smartphones with enormous displays are used more frequently, there has been an increase in the demand for OLED panels across the globe. Organic light emitting diodes OLED panels are a popular option for smartphone screens due to their crystal-clear visuals, low weight, and superior contrast ratio. Around 1.2 billion cell phones were shipped globally in 2022, a decline from 2021. By the end of 2022, smartphones will be used by 68% of the global population.
  • Commitment of Various Governments to Support the Advancement of Nanotechnology and Nanoscience- For the past three decades, atomic force microscopy has been a powerful technique for nanotechnological imaging. It offers a variety of modes for examining the topography, elasticity, adhesion, friction, electrical properties, and magnetism of nanomaterials. As a result, various countries have increased their funding for carrying out research projects relating to nanotechnology.
  • Increasing Various Technologies and Techniques- The development of new methods and tools such as frictional force mapping, topographic imaging, photoconductive atomic energy microscopy, scanning voltage microscopy, SPM-based nanoscale spectroscopy, and force spectroscopy is expected to have a significant impact on market growth overall over the forecast period.

Challenges

  • Damage to Samples Due to Contact-Mode AFM- A feedback loop is employed to direct the tip in the contact mode along a direction that corresponds to a strong and repellent tip-sample force. Since, tip is always in touch with the surface, adhesive, and frictional forces have a significant impact on this mode. The surface-attached soft samples, like biological macromolecules or polymers, are susceptible to damage from friction and adhesion pressures.
  • Lack of Skilled Professionals for Atomic Force Microscopy
  • The Atomic Force Microscopes' High Cost
