Global Microscope Glass Slide Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Microscope Glass Slide market size is expected to reach $ 259 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 4.7% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
A microscope glass slide is a thin flat piece of glass used to hold objects for examination under a microscope, typically 75 by 26 mm (3 by 1 inches) and about 1 mm thick. Typically, the object is placed or secured ("mounted") on the slide, and then both are inserted together in the microscope for viewing. This arrangement allows several slide-mounted objects to be quickly inserted and removed from the microscope, labeled, transported, and stored in appropriate slide cases or folders.
Global key players of Microscope Glass Slide include Epredia (PHC Holdings), Waldemar Knittel Glasbearbeitungs, Matsunami Glass, Corning, Leica Biosystems, etc. The top five players hold a share about 53%. North America is the largest market, and has a share about 39%, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific with share 37% and 21%, separately. In terms of product type, Plain Slides is the largest segment, accounting for a share of 41%. In terms of application, Biological Scientific Research is the largest field with a share about 46 percent.
