    • Last updated on : 1 December, 2025

Growth Drivers

  • Demand in personalized medicines - Personalized medicine seeks to customize care for each patient according to their specific genetic composition and illness profile. By examining the differences in cells across individuals, AFM can assist researchers in finding possible biomarkers for illness diagnosis and therapy choices.

    AFM may be utilized to look at the processes by which some cancer cells become resistant to the chemicals used in chemotherapy. For example, Advent International declared in February 2024 that listed Suven Pharma and privately held Cohance Lifescience will merge to become the first-ever private equity-led listed contract manufacturing business.

  • Advancement in AFM technology - Owing to the automation features, AFM technology is becoming increasingly accessible to users. This enables a large number of researchers the ones with zero knowledge of microscopy techniques to benefit from AFM technology. Thus, the advancement in AFM technology is set to propel the market growth.

Challenges

  • Limited scalability - There is no doubt about the huge potential of the AFM technology. The scalability of the AFM technologies for high throughput evaluation and extensive sample screening is hindered by data processing, automation capabilities as well as image speed. This limits the use of AFM for specific studies and small-scale investigations, which makes it impossible to comply with high-speed investigation requirements or industrial applications.

  • Lack of skilled professionals is to hinder the market growth in the forecast period

  • Damage to samples owing to contact mode AFM to hamper the market growth in the projected period

AFM Optical Platform Market - Regional Analysis

APAC Excluding Japan Market Insights

Asia Pacific region excluding Japan in AFM optical platform market is anticipated to account for more than 39.5% revenue share by the end of 2035. This expansion is impelled by government support and increased R&D spending. The market growth of the AFM optical platform in the APEJ region is somehow linked with the growth semiconductor market in this region.

These platforms are notable for quality control and characterization of semiconductors at a nanometre level. Taiwan Semiconducting Manufacturing Co.'s December 2022 announcement that it would triple its investment in US manufacturing capacity is indicative of the changing geographic dynamics for this sector.

China is the world's leading producer of silicon chips. This growth is driven by government support, broad national markets, and increasing research and development expenditure.

In South Korea, AFM is widely used in life sciences research for applications such as analyzing the properties of cells and proteins.

Escalating awareness about AFM technology and its capabilities among Indian researchers and scientists.

North American Market Insights

By 2035, AFM optical platform market size for North America region is poised to exceed USD 300 Million. The penetration of AFM for high-resolution imaging and characterization is essential for research in nanotechnology, materials science, and biotechnology which is impelling the market's expansion. Major companies in the market intend on manufacturers' collaboration and acquire to offer a huge range of products to large customers and to increase the activities around the globe.
