Global Microscope Glass Slide Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Microscope Glass Slide market size was valued at US$ 178 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 238 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 4.7% during review period.

A microscope glass slide is a thin flat piece of glass used to hold objects for examination under a microscope, typically 75 by 26 mm (3 by 1 inches) and about 1 mm thick. Typically, the object is placed or secured ("mounted") on the slide, and then both are inserted together in the microscope for viewing. This arrangement allows several slide-mounted objects to be quickly inserted and removed from the microscope, labeled, transported, and stored in appropriate slide cases or folders.

Global key players of Microscope Glass Slide include Epredia (PHC Holdings), Waldemar Knittel Glasbearbeitungs, Matsunami Glass, Corning, Leica Biosystems, etc. The top five players hold a share about 53%. North America is the largest market, and has a share about 39%, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific with share 37% and 21%, separately. In terms of product type, Plain Slides is the largest segment, accounting for a share of 41%. In terms of application, Biological Scientific Research is the largest field with a share about 46 percent.
