Material Development Application to Account for Largest Size of Nanomechanical Testing Market From 2018 to 2023
Metamaterials are those engineered structures that are designed to interact with electromagnetic radiation in a pre-defined manner. Metamaterials usually comprise an array of structures called meta-atoms that can interact with magnetic and electric components; hence, metamaterials create promising opportunities for the players in the market. Metamaterials attain desired results by incorporating structural elements of sub-wavelength sizes in the original design, i.e., features that are smaller than the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves that they affect. Metamaterials enable extreme miniaturization of existing optical devices, and they can be customized to support novel properties that currently are not accessible with existing optical hardware, leading to entirely new optical systems. Similar to the development of classical electromagnetism, metamaterial developments are expected to fundamentally alter the way the world works today.
Hardware Segment to Account for Larger Size of Nanomechanical Testing Market, Based on Offering, By 2023
The market for hardware will continue to dominate the overall market for nanomechanical testing in the near future due to increasing advancements by key players toward product innovation leading to the development of systems with higher accuracy. The increasing demand for testing various materials to understand their properties on a nanoscale would increase the market for nanomechanical testing services for several applications, such as life sciences, industrial manufacturing, and material development.
North America to account for largest market size during forecast period
North America is expected to account for the largest size of the overall market in 2018. North America is also expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period. The rapid industrialization and high demand for nanomechanical testing instruments for several R&D activities performed by many engineering institutions in this region propel the market growth in North America. However, the market in APAC for nanomechanical testing is estimated to grow at an expedited CAGR during the forecast period due to the dynamic changes in the adoption of new technologies and advancements in organizations across industries, as well as increased use of connected devices. This region has become a global focal point for major investments and business expansion opportunities. The market in Asia Pacific is expected to show significant growth in all sectors.
