Global 3D Metrology Market by Product (3D Automated Optical Inspection System, Coordinate Measuring Machine, Optical Digitizer & Scanner), Application (Quality Control & Inspection, Reverse Engineering, Virtual Simulation), End User - Forecast 2024-2030

The 3D Metrology Market size was estimated at USD 13.01 billion in 2023, USD 14.15 billion in 2024, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.35% to reach USD 24.33 billion by 2030.

3D metrology is a new approach to measuring the dimensions of components without physically touching them, which is a scientific method to study physical measurements. The 3D metrology market is rapidly growing due to the increasing utilization of advanced electronics scanning and modeling technologies, such as automated optical inspection sensor technologies and optical digitizer & scanner (ODS), which are flourishing the evolution of metrology technology, which automatically reduces the dependency on conventional measurement techniques. This, combined with rising demand from sectors such as automotive and manufacturing, drives the development within this field. Although certain cost factors remain a restraint on its potential, plenty of opportunities exist within areas. Aerospace and heavy machinery production can benefit greatly by leveraging state-of-the-art metrology solutions offering improved productivity levels along with superior quality products. However, access to skilled professionals may be limited for handling these systems effectively.

Regional Insights

Increasing research and development (R&D), rising investments in 3D metrology, and the growing usage of 3D data for modeling and analysis in various industries have boosted the adoption of 3D metrology across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the rest of the world. Asia-Pacific has shown exponential growth in the forecast period due to the presence of top key players in China and India. Additionally, the growing number of small and medium-scale system manufacturers in countries such as Japan, Singapore, and South Korea, along with the increasing use of virtual simulation in the energy and power industry, are contributing toward boosting the market growth in the region. Furthermore, the North American region is mainly driven by the strong presence of aerospace, automotive, and pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers in the U.S. Rapid automation of the automotive manufacturing facilities is one of the significant factors driving the demand for inline dimensional metrology solutions. In Europe, France has dominated the market for the last few years, attributed to the country's heavy penetration of automotive and aerospace industries. Moreover, Germany is estimated to show significant growth in the forecast period due to the country's availability of large manufacturing units. However, the market growth is moderate in the Middle East & Africa, and South America due to the slower adoption of advanced metrology technology and the lack of skilled workers required to operate video measuring machines (VMM) and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs).
