The industrial metrology market is expected to experience growth propelled by the ascending trajectory of the manufacturing industry. The manufacturing industry, involved in the production of physical goods through diverse processes, relies on industrial metrology to contribute to quality control, precision, and efficiency across various sectors. Eurostat, a UK-based government statistical agency, reported a 0.2% increase in industrial output in the European area in July 2023, with a 0.1% rise in the European Union between May and April 2023. This upward trend in the manufacturing industry significantly contributes to driving the growth of the industrial metrology market.

Product innovations have emerged as a key trend in the industrial metrology market, with major companies introducing advanced solutions to strengthen their market presence. For instance, in May 2025, Hexagon AB, a Sweden-based provider of precision measurement and digital reality technologies, launched MAESTRO, a next-generation coordinate measuring machine. MAESTRO incorporates a redesigned mechanical structure, a single-cable digital platform, and advanced sensors that deliver high-speed measurements with submicron accuracy. Its synchronized axis movements, rapid calibration, and cloud-connected software streamline setup, programming, execution, and reporting. Additionally, an intuitive interface and cloud-native metrology applications through Hexagon’s Nexus platform enable both expert and non-specialist users to produce repeatable, standards-compliant measurements without coding.

In October 2024, SDI Group plc, a UK-based industrial and scientific products provider, acquired InspecVision Ltd. for $8 million (£6.1 million). This acquisition aimed to expand SDI Group’s footprint in the metrology market and unlock cross-selling opportunities across its industrial and scientific portfolio. InspecVision Ltd. is an Ireland-based provider of industrial metrology solutions.

Industrial metrology, a crucial component in the production industry, pertains to the discipline primarily employed for quality control through the examination of dimensional conformance.

The key offerings within industrial metrology encompass hardware, software, and services. Hardware refers to the tangible components of computers and connected devices. This equipment includes a coordinate measuring machine (CMM), an optical digitizer and scanner (ODS), measuring instruments, X-ray and computed tomography, automated optical inspection, form measurement equipment, and 2D equipment. These tools find applications in various areas such as quality control and inspection, reverse engineering, mapping, modeling, and others. The end-user industries benefiting from industrial metrology span aerospace and defense, automotive, semiconductor, manufacturing, and others.

The industrial metrology market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing metrology services such as dimensional inspection, quality certifications, and programming. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The industrial metrology market also includes sales of scanners and measuring systems, which are used in providing industrial metrology services. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
