The 3D laser scanner segment for ODS is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The 3D laser scanner segment is expected to exhibit the fastest CAGR in the 3D metrology market for ODS. This segment’s strong performance is largely driven by the high demand for 3D laser scanners, which are favored for their multiple advantages. These scanners provide very precise inspection data and, when combined with a CMM, offer faster part inspections than other technologies. Additionally, they enable non-contact measures, which adds to their popularity. Moreover, several renowned 3D metrology firms are expanding and improving their ODS offerings which further fuels segment growth.
The quality control and inspection segment likely to lead the 3D metrology market during the forecast period
Quality control and inspection are expected to dominate the 3D metrology market due to the increased emphasis on precision, consistency, and product quality across industries. Even minor flaws in manufacturing, particularly in the medical, automotive, semiconductor & electronics, and aerospace & defense industries, can result in expensive recalls or performance problems. 3D metrology enables high-precision measurements and the detection of variations in parts before they are moved to the next stage of production. This feature considerably decreases the risk of faults, scrap, and rework, hence increasing total production efficiency.
China is likely to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
China is anticipated to have the fastest CAGR during the from 2024 to 2029. This is because China is regarded as a global manufacturing leader, which boosts demand for 3D metrology solutions. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2023, China accounted for about 30% of global gross manufacturing value, consolidating its status as the world’s largest manufacturing country. Moreover, the country is also a leader in industries such as automotive and semiconductor & electronics. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in China are focusing on increasing output in their automobile factories by considerably implementing quality assurance methods, which boosts the use of 3D metrology equipment.
