Thus, the growth of chronic diseases contributes to the expansion of the electron microscopy and sample preparation market.

The growing number of hospitals is expected to contribute to the growth of the electron microscopy and sample preparation market. Hospitals, as comprehensive healthcare facilities, are essential in providing medical services, including diagnosis, treatment, surgery, and emergency care. In hospitals, electron microscopy and sample preparation play a crucial role in enhancing diagnostics and research by offering high-resolution imaging for detailed examinations of cellular structures, pathogens, and tissues. This, in turn, improves precision in medical diagnosis and the development of therapeutic solutions. For instance, as of May 2023, the American Health Care Association reported 6,129 hospitals in the United States, reflecting a 0.591% increase from the previous year's count of 6,093 hospitals. Therefore, the rising number of hospitals contributes to the growth of the electron microscopy and sample preparation market.
