The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) Market was estimated at USD 1.11 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow steadily over the next decade. The market is expected to increase from USD 1.19 billion in 2024 to approximately USD 2.5 billion by 2035, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.98% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2035. This growth is fueled by increasing demand for high-resolution imaging technologies across nanotechnology, material science, life sciences, and semiconductor industries.

Atomic Force Microscopes are widely used for characterizing surface topography at the nanoscale with atomic-level resolution. Their ability to operate in various environments — including air, vacuum, and liquid — makes them invaluable in cutting-edge research and industrial quality control.
