Advancements in the Semiconductor and Embedded industries has led to a high degree of complexity in the hardware and manufacturing of integrated circuits (ICs) and printed circuit boards (PCBs). To support high-end applications, chip and board designers and manufacturers are developing high-density products. An optical microscope is little use when it comes to densely packaged ICs in PCBs because it has limitations in terms of magnification due to the wavelength of light. As a result, an electron microscope is required to observe and analyze the error points that could cause failures in densely packed chips and PCBs.

In recent years, there has been strong competition among emerging markets in terms of developments in science and technology, especially among countries such as China and India. The governments of these emerging markets are focusing on encouraging these developments through their budgetary policies.

TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Electron Microscope market to grow at a CAGR of 15 percent over the period 2011–2015. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing demand for effective failure analysis. The Global Electron Microscope market has also been witnessing an increase in the scientific and analytical fusions. However, comparatively slow replacement in emerging markets could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.
