Atomic Force Microscopy Market Size, Share, Growth Analysis, By Offering (Atomic Force Microscopes, Probes), By Grade (Industrial Grade AFM, And Research Grade AFM), By Application, By Region - Industry Forecast 2025-2032

Atomic Force Microscopy Market size was valued at USD 580.9 Million in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 612.44 Million in 2024 to USD 934.95 Million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.43% during the forecast period (2025-2032).

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful technique that allows imaging of virtually any surface including polymers, ceramics, composites, glass, and biological samples. AFM is used to measure and establish a wide range of forces such as adhesion strength, magnetic properties and mechanical properties. The AFM consists of a sharp edge about 10 to 20 nm in diameter, attached to the cantilever. The front moves in response to the front–back interaction, and this motion is measured by focusing the laser beam onto a photodiode. Increasing adoption of power electron microscopes and scanning force microscopes for research and manufacturing acts as a major driving force for the global atomic force microscopy market.

Moreover, atomic energy microscopes find significant application in the semiconductor field for repairing the circuits and circuit failures, raising the demand remarkably, thus driving the market development increases. Atomic force microscopy can further be used to characterize materials, study their composition, and other applications. Moreover, they are used in various industries such as food, law, medicine, pharmaceuticals and healthcare.
