Focused Ion Beam Market Future Demand, Growth, Share and Analysis with forecast 2024
The
global focused ion beam market was dominated by the players Hitachi
High-Technologies Corp., FEI, Carl Zeiss AG, and JEOL Ltd., in 2015.
At the time, their collective share of 67.1% pointed to a largely
consolidated market with a positive scope for regional players to
grow.

Overview :
As
stated in a research report published by Transparency Market
Research, the level of competition within the global focused ion beam
market is very high, among all player size categories. The larger
players are highly interested in ramping up research and development
efforts while also conducting successful mergers and acquisitions.
For instance, FEI, which was acquired by Thermo Fisher Scientific in
2016, holds a highly diverse array of technologies in this market as
well as a wide regional grasp across Australia. The global focused
ion beam market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.8% within a
forecast period from 2016 to 2024. By the end of 2024, this market’s
revenue is expected to reach US$528.0 mn. This market is expected to
reach US$312.3 mn by the end of 2016.
Material
Science Application of Focused Ion Beams Spurs Global Demand
“Ever
since focused ion beam equipment have been available on a commercial
basis over two decades ago, their applications have only been found
in the industries of microelectronics. It has only been close to a
decade that the applications of the focused ion beam systems have
diversified from microelectronics and into other fields, specifically
material sciences. This has created an explosion in the global demand
for focused ion beam instruments across all organizations dealing in
material sciences. A similar scope of expansion for the global
focused ion beam market has been found in medical sciences, where the
use of focused ion beam microscopy can allow for a more accurate
sample preparation method,” states a TMR analyst. The use of
focused ion beams in material sciences has also come to include
circuit editing, prototype and nano-machining, and micro structural
analysis.
The
global focused ion beam market also finds a massive scope of use in
3D imaging. The use of dual-beam focused ion beams has already been
popular in 3D tomography analytics, due to the lower requirement of
specimen preparation efforts and the application of FIB-based 3D
tomography on a wider range of materials.
High
Costs Still a Burden for Focused Ion Beam Users
One
of the key restraints acting on the global focused ion beam market
includes the high costs associated with the acquisition and
maintenance of focused ion beam machines. This restraint has actually
severely hampered the rate of deployment of the machines in failure
analysis. Additionally, the high costs of focused ion beam and
dual-focused ion beam technologies have rendered the players in the
global focused ion beam market unable to penetrate developing
economies from Asia Pacific and Latin America, two regions that
otherwise hold extremely high potential of growth in demand within
the market.
