The growing demand for inspection services from precision manufacturing drives the growth of the industrial metrology market
The industrial metrology market is expected to grow from USD 9.62 billion in 2018 to USD 12.97 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 6.2% between 2018 and 2023. The growing big data analytics market and increasing demand for inspection services from the precision manufacturing drive the growth of industrial metrology market. Moreover, increasing focus on quality control in various industries also contributes to the growth of this market. However, the high cost of setting up metrology facility and lack of expertise needed for efficient handling of metrological systems limit the growth of this market.
The quality control and inspection application holds the largest share of the industrial metrology market
Quality control is an integral part of production process as it helps in the smooth functioning of the production, without incurring any extra cost. Under this application, metrological systems are used for alignment, CADbased inspection, dimensional analysis, and machine calibration, among others. Manufacturers adopt a robust inspection process to control quality. Manufacturers use metrology for accurate scanning and inspection analysis to derive corrective action without slowing down the production.
The automotive industry holds the largest share of the industrial metrology market
In the automotive industry, metrological methods are required for inspection, measurement, and quality check of various components. The automotive industry has been increasingly using optical measurement systems and coordinates measuring machines CMM, instead of conventional strain gauges, accelerometers, transducers, and extensometers for improving the safety and comfort level of vehicles. Scanning accurately captures freeform surfaces by acquiring thousands of measuring points per second without touching the prototype.
APAC to hold the largest share of the industrial metrology market
The growth of the market in APAC is attributed to the growing automotive and manufacturing plants in this region. Moreover, large funding from governments of various APAC countries in research and development, and extensive industrial base are the major contributors to the industrial metrology market in APAC, with China, South Korea, and Japan being the major countries contributing to the growth. Also, continuous technological advancements propel the growth of this market.
