The Market Reports

Synopsis
The global market for FIB-SEM System was estimated to be worth US$ 626 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 919 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
The FIB-SEM system is an electron microscope system that integrates focused electron beams and scanning ion beams. Focused ion beams can be used for micro processing of samples, scanning electron beams can be used for micro imaging and "two-dimensional" characterization analysis of sample surface morphology, and real-time observation of the FIB processing process. Therefore, the FIB-SEM system can achieve fixed-point etching, deposition, cross-sectional cutting, TEM electron microscopy sample preparation, and micro/nano device preparation of samples Circuit repair, 3D structural characterization, etc.
Global key players of FIB-SEM System include Thermo Fisher Scientific Hitachi and Zeiss, etc. The top three players hold a share over 85%. Japan is the largest market. In terms of product type, Ga Ion Source is the largest segment, occupied for a share of 95%, and in terms of application, Material Science has a share about 40 percent.
