According to a new report from Intel Market Research, the global Cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) market was valued at USD 309 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 606 million by 2032, growing at a robust CAGR of 12.0% during the forecast period (2025-2032). This growth is propelled by increasing research activities in structural biology, pharmaceutical R&D investments, and technological advancements in microscopy techniques.
What is Cryo-Electron Microscopy?
Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is an electron microscopic technique that involves freezing the biological sample in order to view the sample with the least possible distortion and the fewest possible artifacts. In cryo-EM, the freezing of the sample is done in ethane slush to produce vitreous, or non-crystalline, ice. The frozen sample grid is then kept at liquid nitrogen temperature in the electron microscope and digital micrographs are collected with a camera. The advantages of cryo-EM over traditional EM techniques include the preservation of the sample in a near-native hydrated state without the distortions from stains or fixatives needed for traditional EM. With image processing and averaging of multiple images, cryo-EM provides high resolution information.
