An accurate inspection employing three-dimensional data for molding and analysis, R&D expenditure on the measuring techniques, and a focus on quality control are predicted to be the primary factors driving the demand for 3D metrology.

The development of portable metrology equipment for specialized services and improvements in software-driven process automation have fueled the growth of the 3D metrology industry. The expansion of the automotive sector worldwide and the emphasis on quality control in the manufacture of goods are two factors that are projected to fuel the growth of the global 3D metrology market.

3D Metrology Market: COVID–19 Impact Analysis

Global economies have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. For several industries, COVID-19 has created several difficulties. The market for 3D metrology has been affected by the COVID-19 outbreak and spread. The COVID-19 epidemic affected international operations in several industries and geographical locations. The virus’s adverse effects increased in frequency in areas where consumers, suppliers, or manufacturers conduct business due to the firms’ limited supply or reduced demand, which had a substantial impact and influenced the whole 3D metrology industry.

This results from workforce limitations, constrained manufacturing, postponed purchases, supply-chain interruptions, and prohibitions on cross-border commerce, which cause delays in the fulfillment of raw materials and components, notably those from China. Due to the reduced business activities, the spread of COVID-19 has impacted several industries, including automotive, heavy machinery, electronics manufacturing, and aerospace & military. Complete lockdowns and social isolation are examples of public health measures that have impacted the operations and revenue of 3D metrology service providers. The demand for 3D metrology systems from the Americas and Europe has decreased due to COVID-19. Additionally, in 2021, capital investment is falling across all industries.

3D Metrology Market: Growth Drivers

Growth in 3D metrology research and development (R&D) spending to accelerate the market’s growth

More money is being invested in R&D throughout the world to create innovative metrology products and solutions. The electronics industry is experiencing fast technical development due to ongoing R&D. To boost efficiency and satisfy growing expectations, these sectors have also developed new applications for precise management and inspection. These elements are also anticipated to fuel the market’s expansion. The need for 3D metrology will also be significantly influenced by the growing modeling and analysis of 3D data in various sectors and the strong demand for extensive data analysis.

An increase in Industry 4.0 demands 

The future 3D metrology market’s growth rate will be further accelerated by the expanding requirements of industry 4.0. Industry 4.0, often known as the intelligent factory, is a new industrial revolution phase connecting the information technology and manufacturing sectors. Due to this new phase’s increased asset utilization, improved labor efficiency, and decreased downtime, the market is expected to have possibilities. In addition, real-time measurement data is shown by the industries’ implanted robots through in-line inspection analysis. Therefore, the market is anticipated to be driven by all these reasons.

3D Metrology Market: Segmentation Analysis

The 3D metrology market is segmented into components, hardware, and services. Based on this part, the demand for the software segment is estimated to lead the market during the forecast period. Complete data collection and measurement from many sources are made possible by the software. Because of this, it offers thorough and self-explanatory graphical and textual reports that are used to pinpoint production patterns and assess in-the-moment variances. In addition, tooling, production engineering, sheet metal, metal fabrication, stone, and woodworking are some further uses for CAD/CAM software in design and manufacturing processes. Increasing industrial productivity and adding value to the business boosts demand for software applications during the projection period.

Over the projection period, the hardware category is anticipated to grow consistently. Many sectors, including aerospace, automotive, medical, and archaeological architecture, use hardware services to enhance production procedures. Additionally, the quality and measurement inspection process is aided by using gear, including vision systems, CMMs, laser trackers, and structured-light scanners. These elements should help the 3D metrology business flourish.

By hardware, the optical digitizer and scanner (ODS) segment is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. Surface analysis, gas turbine blade inspection, automobile component inspection, automotive design and styling, powertrain components, pilot plant metrology, and aviation component inspection are just a few of the metrology service applications that employ optical digitizers and scanners (ODS). In addition, the whole geometry of the component may be captured by laser scanners for inspection and various technical uses. High precision, increased speed, and real-time operation are all features of these scanners. Thus, it is anticipated that the ODS sector will control the market.

By services, the reverse engineering segment is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the use of the metrology system has also undergone a revolution due to the demand for intelligent reverse engineering solutions using CAD models or by comparing CAD prototypes, mainly in the automobile industry.
