MICROCHANNEL PLATE DETECTOR MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global microchannel plate detector market size was projected at USD 0.08 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to reach USD 0.16 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 8.84% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.

A microchannel plate is a device used to detect single particles such as ions, electrons and photons. The microchannel plate is also a high-gain electron amplifier and is also sensitive to incoming electrons and other charged particles (eg, ions, elementary particles) and short-wavelength electromagnetic radiation (eg, ultraviolet and low-frequency X-rays). Microchannel plates are used in image spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, atomic and molecular collision studies, electron spectroscopy, cluster physics, etc. Detecting a single particle is difficult because its voltage is very low. A microchannel plate is used to increase the voltage. When a small particle, such as an electron, hits the microchannel plates, which consist of small bent tubes, the particle begins to collide with the channel wall. The number of collisions depends on the applied voltage and the angle of inclination, and this collision occurs until the end of the pipe channel. An electron cloud is formed at the end of the channel and the signal is amplified and measured in the microchannel chip. Small tubes are made of glass, with a slope of 10µm - 20µm.

Microchannel plates are available in two types, namely circular and rectangular. The image intensifier tubes of night vision goggles use microchannel plates that amplify visible and invisible light, making dark environments visible to the human eye. They are used in a wide range of applications, including military, healthcare and biotechnology, electronics and semiconductors, and more.

COVID-19 IMPACT

"Due to lack of skilled labor and delays or cancellations of projects COVID-19 pandemic has hampered the market growth"

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the microchannel plate detector market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic has dampened the growth of Microchannel Plate Detector in 2020 due to its significant impact on the most important players in the supply chain. On the contrary, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the market was mainly affected by several obstacles such as a lack of skilled labor and delays or cancellations of projects due to partial or complete shutdowns worldwide. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, which began in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost every country in the world, and the World Health Organization has declared it a public health emergency. The global effects of the 2019 Corona Virus Disease are already beginning to be felt and will have a significant impact on the microchannel wafer sensor market in 2020. The outbreak of COVID-19 has affected many things such as flight cancellations; travel bans and quarantines; restaurants closed; all indoor/outdoor events limited; more than forty countries declared a state of emergency; massive slowdown in the supply chain; stock market volatility; declining business confidence, growing panic among the population and uncertainty about the future.
