The 3D metrology market is projected to grow from  USD 10.6 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 15.9 billion by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4 % from 2022 to 2027.

The growing use of 3D data for modeling and analysis in various industries, increased research and development (R&D) investments in 3D metrology is expected to fuel the growth of the 3D metrology market. However, high cost associated with setting up 3D metrology facility is a prominent factor limiting the growth of the 3D metrology market.

“Market for semiconductors & electronics end-user industry segment to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.”

3D metrology solutions are widely used across consumer and industrial electronics sectors to ensure the quality of parts and products, ranging from actuators, smartphone enclosures, and lead frames to sensors, speakers, smart home devices, and white goods. With the miniaturization and increasing intricacy of electronics components, the importance of ensuring the adherence of certain parameter measurements to specific standards is growing. The quality control processes that are becoming fundamental and complex also contribute to this need to meet the specification, thereby creating an increased demand for 3D metrology offerings during the forecast period. 

“Market for software segment is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period” 

The software segment is expected to witness significant growth in the 3D metrology market during the forecast period. Various companies are utilizing 3D metrology software to enhance their manufacturing processes. PCM INNOVATION (PCM) (Canada) is one such company. The company designs and manufactures assembly lines, fixtures, and molds for high-precision parts. Its customers are world leaders in the aviation and transportation sectors. Most of the parts that PCM manufactures have tolerance deviations in the thousandth of an inch. To mitigate issues related to temperature differences, PCM relies on FARO BuildIT Software coupled with the FARO Vantage Laser Tracker. BuildIT Metrology Software is a CAD-to-part inspection solution that enables quick and easy dimensional verification of manufactured parts and assemblies for tool building, assembly, alignment, process automation, reverse engineering, and quality control.
