The Global 3D Metrology Market Size is valued at 12.23 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach 21.04 billion by the year 2031 at a 7.12% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
3D metrology is an innovative 3D scanning and modeling solution for engineering and manufacturing. It was created to assist engineers and designers in easily obtaining high-quality data for their products with no manual labor. It has one of the fastest measurement speeds in the business because of the power of cloud computing.
The global 3D metrology market expansion is anticipated to increase due to factors such as global automotive industry growth and a focus on quality control while manufacturing items. Furthermore, an increase in demand for improved productivity by electronics manufacturing firms increases total industry growth. Significant advancements in software-driven process automation and user-friendly metrology equipment for modified services have also contributed to market expansion.
However, the global 3D metrology sector is hampered by a lack of streamlined software solutions. On the contrary, the 3D metrology business is predicted to benefit from a surge in demand for Industry 4.0 and strong expansion in the aviation industry.
Recent Developments:
- In Feb 2023, Applied Materials, Inc. presented a new eBeam metrology system built especially for accurately measuring the critical dimensions of semiconductor device features patterned with EUV and emerging High-NA EUV lithography. Applied's novel VeritySEM 10 device has a unique architecture that allows for minimal landing energy while providing 2X greater resolution than traditional CD-SEMs. It also has a 30% faster scan rate, which reduces contact with the photoresist and increases productivity.
- In April 2022, FARO Technologies, Inc., a 4D digital reality solutions provider, introduced a new end-to-end 3D digital reality capture and collaboration platform.

Market Segmentation:
The 3D metrology market is segmented on the basis of component, application, and end-use. Based on components, the market is segmented as coordinate measuring machine (CMM), optical digitizer scanner (ODS), video measuring machine (VMM), 3D automated optical inspection (AOI) systems, others, software, and services. By application, the market is segmented into quality control & inspection, reverse engineering, virtual simulation, and 3D Scanning. The end-user segment includes control cabinets, automotive, medical, construction & electronics, and others.
Based On Component, The Software Segment Is Accounted As A Major Contributor In The 3D Metrology Market
The software category is expected to hold a major share of the global 3D Metrology Market in 2024. The software allows for complete data collection and measurement from a variety of sources. As a result, it generates comprehensive and self-explanatory graphical and textual reports for identifying production trends and evaluating real-time variances. Furthermore, CAD/CAM software is used for design and manufacturing processes such as tooling, production engineering, sheet metal, metal fabrication, stone, and woodworking. It leads to increased manufacturing efficiencies and value addition to the operation, which drives up demand for software applications over the predicted period.
The Reverse Engineering Segment Witnessed Growth At A Rapid Rate
The reverse engineering segment is projected to grow at a rapid rate in the global 3D Metrology Market owing to the increased demand for intelligent reverse engineering solutions using CAD models or by comparing prototypes of CAD models, primarily in the automobile sector, which has also changed the metrology system's application mechanism.
In The Region, The North American 3D Metrology Market Holds A Significant Revenue Share
The North American 3D Metrology Market is expected to register the highest market share in terms of revenue in the near future. The regional market growth is primarily driven by the presence of aerospace, automobile, and pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers in the United States. One of the major factors driving the demand for inline dimensional metrology solutions is the rapid automation of automotive manufacturing plants.
Inline metrology solutions may be used by certain powertrain and body-in-white (BIW) manufacturers in place of traditional measurement methods such as CMMs. Moreover, due to the existence of rising industrial economies such as China, India, and Japan, Asia Pacific is expected to grow significantly. Most industrial products are manufactured in the Asia Pacific area. China leads in the production of industrial output products such as steel, chemicals, iron, consumer goods, transportation, food processing, and equipment. As a result, 3D metrology is employed in a variety of industrial and power generation applications, including forging inspection, raw casting, die and mold design, and inspecting power generation components.
