The global electron guns market is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The electron gun is the major component of electron beam welding (EBW) machines. The function of an electron gun is to produce a focused beam of a high-speed electron with a velocity between 0.3 to 0.7 times of light. Due to this, the electron guns are among the costliest equipment used in electron beam welding machines. 

Technological advancement and increasing application in various fields are expected to drive the market growth of the electron gun during the forecast period. For instance, Sheffield Forgemasters, a UK based company is going to lead a project with a consortium of partners and will explore industrialization of EBW in civil nuclear assemblies. The company will also evaluate the potential of integrating welding into the manufacturing process which would offer material improvements and considerable reductions in manufacturing time and cost. The company has secured a grant of $10.5 million from the UK Government’s Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) under the Nuclear Innovation Programme.

Some of the major manufacturers and suppliers of the electron guns include Kimball Physics, Altair Technologies, Inc., Staib Instruments, Sciaky, Inc., and so on. The market players are adopting some key strategies including mergers and acquisitions and product launches., to increase their market share. For instance, in May 2020, Jeol Ltd. declared the launch of the New Schottky Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope JSM-IT800 with Intelligence Technology (IT) Platform. JSM-IT800, with the IT platform, incorporates their In-lens Schottky Plus field emission electron gun for high-resolution imaging to fast elemental mapping and an innovative electron-optical control system Neo Engine, as well as a seamless GUI SEM Center for full integration of a JEOL energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). These features make this product useful for scanning electron microscopes.
