Industrial Metrology Market Analysis
The industrial metrology market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period. Growing focus on quality control in various industries, rising demand for automobiles in developing countries, and the developing Big Data analytics market have driven the industrial metrology market. Companies such as Faro (US), Carl Zeiss (Germany), and Nikon Metrology (Belgium) are offering Big Data analytics, data management, data security, and mobile app solutions for the metrology market.
- Furthermore, BMW has developed an innovative, fully automated inline measurement cell for quality control. This new inline multiple measurement cell streamlines this phase by integrating the measurement process into the production flow and can operate 24/7 if required. The inline measurement cell features four robots and a range of innovative measurement methods, including Laser Radar.
- The development of 3D measurement solutions, portable CMM, robot-mounted optical CMM scanners, cloud-based software application platforms, and dimensional metrology services led to high growth in the market. For instance, in October 2021, ZEISS confirmed the acquisition of Capture 3D, a prominent GOM 3D non-contact measuring solutions provider based in the USA. Capture 3D delivers 3D measurement solutions to help customers significantly improve product design, manufacturing, quality control, and production processes.
- The growing adoption of IoT-enabled sensors across the manufacturing value chain also brings advancements in the measuring process. In 2021, the Institute for Laser Technologies in Medicine and Metrology (ILM) at the University of Ulm developed a special sensor for short measurement times and environmental influences. It uses multi-wavelength digital holography, and allied implementation allows the collection of topographic data of an entire area for diffuse and specular reflective surfaces within one image.
- Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken by governments and businesses around the world have accelerated the digital transformation of industries. These measures include increased budgets for digital transformation projects. However, the pace of infrastructure evolution, which forms metrology as one of its core elements, has not been balanced.
- Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the work environments were redesigned with fewer workers spending less time collaboratively due to physical-distancing requirements. This created an acute need for industries to be more agile. Hence, the demand for industrial metrology is expected to increase globally over the coming years. The worldwide impact of this virus is pushing virtual and online tools, which may further boost the growth of the industrial metrology market.
