3D Scanning Market is anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR till 2027 | Size & Share

 The 3D Scanning Market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2020-2027).

The factors driving growth of the market includes increasing application of 3D scanning for creating digital and 3D models for virtual cinematography in the entertainment industry, emerging need to capture huge volumes of 3D data for modelling, launch of structured light technology and improvements in the living standards. 3D scanning saves time in design work, portable, powerful, captures engineering optimization, used to inspect at hazardous areas, and gathers physical measurements, are some of the features pushing the Global 3D Scanning Market. Moreover, technological advancements in 3D scanning, growing demand for advanced wearable devices around the world, regulatory support provided by Governments, increase in the launch of new products and rapid urbanization, are some of the additional factors supplementing the 3D Scanning Market size. In addition, the increasing investments by major companies on research, strategic partnerships, and collaborations between key industry players, rising disposable incomes and growing population growth rates, are further contributing towards the market growth. 

However, high price of high-resolution 3D scanners, is restricting the market growth.

The major players operating in the 3D Scanning Market are Perceptron, Inc., 3D Digital Corporation, Carl Zeiss Optotechnik GmbH, Faro Technologies, Inc., HEXAGON, Topcon Corporation, 3D Systems, Inc., Nikon Metrology NV, CREAFORM, and Trimble Inc., among others.

Based on Type, the Structured Light 3D Scanners segment is predicted to grow at a robust CAGR during the forecast period

Structured light 3D scanners can quickly capture 3D scans with enhanced accuracy, improves the safety of viewing and produces accurate and dense data, are some of the features pushing the segment’s growth.

Based on End-User Industry, the Automotive segment is projected to grow at a faster CAGR over the forecast period

3D scanners are increasingly used in the Automotive industry to measure difficult to reach areas such as tunnels used for drying paintwork of vehicles, which is propelling growth of the segment. 

Based on Region, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to expand at a spectacular CAGR during the forecast period

As per the 3D Scanning Market Analysis, increasing demand for 3D scanning from end-use industries such as Automotive, Healthcare and Construction, growing adoption of advanced technologies by manufacturers, rapid urbanization, rising per capita incomes, and high population growth rates, are some of the important factors augmenting the market growth in Asia-Pacific region.

Key Developments

• In 2019, CREAFORM, decided to extend its reseller channels for CUBE-R automated inspection solution by the addition of two more European distributors – Measurement Solutions Ltd in UK and EMS in Belgium. The CUBE-R solution integrates the MetraSCAN 3D-R, a powerful robot-mounted optical 3-D scanner that can be used in the factory automation systems and permits the manufacturers to predict the assembly issues at the time of production and enhance the product quality.
• In 2018, HEXAGON developed a 360º cell, a turnkey solution for the fully automated 3D measurement in a shop floor or quality room. This solution is developed to enhance the efficiency of the optical measurement technology of the company.
