Micromanipulator: Introduction
- Micromanipulator is a device to physically interact with a sample under a microscope, where a level of precision of movement is important that cannot be achieved by the unaided human hand. It consists of an input joystick, a mechanism for reducing the range of movement, and an output section with a means to hold a micro tool to carry, inject, cut, or otherwise manipulate the sample as needed. Metal particle and colloidal are studied in industrial environment by using micromanipulation. Micromanipulators are used in various applications ranging from cell micromanipulation to industrial micromanipulation. Intracytospamic sperm injection is a common application of cell micromanipulation technique. Rise in number of male infertility cases has increased the demand for micromanipulators. Surge in R&D activity in the field of neurology and biology and growing semiconductor and electronics industries boost the growth of the global micromanipulator market.
Key Drivers and Restraints of Global Micromanipulator Market
- Increase in number of male infertility cases
- Infertility is defined clinically in women and men who cannot achieve pregnancy after one year of intercourse without using contraception and in women who have two or more failed pregnancies. Studies suggest that 15% of couples are unable to conceive after one year of unprotected sex, and 10% of couples do not have a successful pregnancy after two years. In couples younger than 30 who are generally healthy, 20% to 37% are ready to conceive within the first three months. Intracytospamic sperm injection is commonly used in people who suffer from infertility disorders. Rise in demand and increase in cases of infertility disorders are projected to boost the growth of the global micromanipulator market.
- The global micromanipulator market is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace in the next few years due to advanced procedures for micromanipulation and accuracy of electronic micromanipulator
- Increase in demand for micromanipulators in the life science industry such as cell manipulation, microinjections, and physiochemical operation fuel the growth of the global market. Demand for electronic micromanipulators is expected to increase during the forecast period due to rise in the number of male infertility cases. This is likely to provide significant opportunities to market players.
Micromanipulator Market: Segmentation
- In terms of model type, the global micromanipulator market can be classified into electrical micromanipulator, hydraulic nicromanipulator, and manual micromanipulator
- Based on application, the global micromanipulator market can be bifurcated into cell micromanipulation and industry micromanipulation. The cell micromanipulation segment can be split into embryonic stem cell transfer, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, pronuclear zygote injection, embryo reconstruction, microsurgery, and biopsy. The industry micromanipulation segment can be segregated into semiconductor, microelectronics, flat screen, and others.
- In terms end-user, the global micromanipulation market can be divided into hospitals, semiconductor manufacturers, electronic manufacturers, fertility centers, specialty clinics, and others
North America Market to Grow at a Rapid Pace
- In terms of region, the global micromanipulator market can be segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
- North America and Europe are projected to be the leading markets for micromanipulators due to high capital investment and high adoption
- The micromanipulator market in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and MEA is anticipated to be driven by increase in number of male infertility cases in developing countries such as China, India, Brazil, and South Africa
- Improvements in health care facilities and technological advancements in both developed and emerging markets are likely to present opportunities in the global micromanipulator market in the near future
