The 3D metrology market is valued at USD 11.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 16.4 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period.

High focus on quality control in the manufacturing sector, growing use of 3D data for modeling and analysis in various industries, and rising demand for big data analytics are expected to fuel the growth of the 3D metrology market. However, the high cost associated with setting up a 3D metrology facility is a prominent factor limiting the growth of the 3D metrology market.

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 from 2023 to 2028. Metrology software enables the complete accumulation of data and measurement from numerous sources. Hence, it provides exhaustive and self-explanatory graphical and textual reports that are used to identify production trends and evaluate real-time deviations. The need for accurate measurements in the manufacture of components in end-use industries like automobiles and aircraft bodes well for the market. Similarly, compliance with the enacted government regulations and standards supporting safety and reliability necessitates consumer electronics manufacturers to focus on precision and accuracy while manufacturing. Metrology software offers numerous benefits to end users in terms of reduction of operational costs by increasing measurement specialist competency, eliminating metrology silos, boosting employee mobility, and improving overall teamwork efficiency. This, in turn, has positively impacted the overall demand for 3D metrology software solutions. Various companies in the 3D metrology market are offering software solutions for end users. For instance, Hexagon AB (Sweden) is known for its diverse portfolio in the 3D metrology market. It is also working on increasing the software solutions in its portfolio.

Europe to hold a significant share of the 3D metrology market during the forecast period
Europe accounted for ~24% of the overall 3D metrology market in 2022, with the automotive industry as the leading end-use industry in the region. The growing demand for 3D metrology in the automotive industry, improving electronics and heavy machinery sectors are expected to drive market growth in Europe. Europe is home to leading 3D metrology manufacturers such as Zeiss Group (Germany), Hexagon AB (Sweden), Renishaw plc (UK), and GOM Metrology (Germany).
