IMPACT OF COVID-19:
COVID-19 has had a severe impact on the global economy as well as all industries. To stop the plague from spreading, governments in several countries have established borders. The initial phase of the epidemic's global shutdown in many countries has had a significant influence on people's lives and quality of life. As a result, the global supply chain has been shattered. The global economy has shrunk as commodity demand has decreased considerably. Due to the outbreak, which has caused a lack of immature materials, production in all industries has been slowed. Productivity declines are caused by variables such as depreciation and supply chain disruption.
The COVID-19 pandemic, a deadly respiratory disease that originated in China, has now become a global issue, affecting the atomic force microscopy market. Several industry experts believe that the COVID-19 pandemic will begin to recede by FY2021. Taking into account the contributions of various industry experts from various stages of the value chain, such as OEMs, suppliers, end users, and distributors, as well as the financial releases of various companies in the AFM ecosystem.
Based on Type, the atomic force microscopy market is segmented into Research Grade AFM and Industrial Grade AFM. During the forecast period, the industrial grade atomic force microscopy market is expected to grow at a faster CAGR. This is because industrial grade AFM are more in demand than research grade AFM due to their high precision in detecting and visualizing even the smallest surface structures. AFM can detect and visualize even the smallest surface structures, taking product analysis to the next level. One of the best examples of this is the use of AFM in the semiconductor industry for quality control and imaging of silicon-integrated circuits.
Based on Offering, the atomic force microscopy market is segmented into Probes, Atomic Force Microscopes and Software. An atomic force microscope is one of the most versatile and powerful tools for studying samples larger than nanoscales. It is adaptable because it can generate three-dimensional topography, and it also meets the needs of scientists and engineers by providing measurements for a variety of surfaces. With the least amount of sample preparation, it can generate images at atomic resolution with angstrom scale resolution height information. It can also be used to determine the properties of various materials, such as friction, electrical force, capacitance, magnetic force, conductivity, viscoelasticity, surface potential, and resistance.
Based on Application, the atomic force microscopy market is segmented into Material Science, Life Sciences, Academics, Semiconductors and Electronics and Others. During the forecast period, the semiconductors and electronics segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR. Atomic force microscopy can aid in the characterization of semiconductor materials and devices at the nanometer scale.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.
Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.
The 5 steps process:
Step 1: Secondary Research:
Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.
Step 2: Primary Research
When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data. This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.
We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.
Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.
This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.
Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.
Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.
Step 3: Data Bank Validation
Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.
Step 4: QA/QC Process
After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.
Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:
This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
