Microtome Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028

The global microtome market size reached US$ 159.8 Million in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 214.1 Million by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0% during 2022-2028. The growing prevalence of oncological disorders, rising adoption in the field of neuroscience, and increasing improvement in the healthcare infrastructure represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Microtome is a specialized machine that is designed for precision tissue sectioning purposes and cutting thin and uniform slices of biological samples obtained from plants and animals. It comprises specialized blades made from metal, glass, or diamond, which are chosen as per the different specimens and sample thicknesses. It also consists of a block holder, knife clamps, block adjustments, a thickness gauge, and an operating handle. It is commercially sold in numerous forms, such as hand-held, rotational, vibrating, sledge, cryostat, and ultramicrotome. Microtome is also available as base-sledge microtome, which is useful for cutting extremely hard blocks and large sections, and the knife is sledge shaped, which requires less honing. It provides numerous cutting modes, such as single, interval, multi, and continuous high throughput serial sectioning. It is extensively used in histology to prepare tissue sections for examination under a microscope and diagnose diseases or investigate cellular structure and functions.

Microtome Market Trends:

At present, the increasing demand for microtomes due to the rising prevalence of oncological disorders around the world represents one of the significant factors influencing the market positively. Besides this, the growing utilization of semi and fully-automatic microtomes to extract minor sections of tissues and detect the presence of tumor cells in the body is offering a favorable market outlook. In addition, the increasing employment of microtomes in botany to make thin sections of plant tissues for examination of the structure and function of different plant parts, such as stomata, root cells, and stem cells, is propelling the growth of the market. Apart from this, the rising adoption of microtomes in the field of neuroscience to prepare thin sections of brain and spinal cord tissue samples for detailed examination of the cellular and molecular structure of the nervous system and understanding the mechanisms of various neurological disorders is contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, the increasing preference for using microtomes in various scientific laboratories, as they can be adjusted to produce tissue sections of varying thickness, allowing researchers and pathologists to tailor the sectioning procedure according to their needs, is supporting the growth of the market. Moreover, the rising improvement in the healthcare infrastructure to provide quality treatment and diagnosis to patients is bolstering the growth of the market.
