San Francisco, 12 November
2018: According to a report by Grand View Research, Inc., global 3Dscanning market is anticipated to value USD 8.04 billion by 2025.
Growing requirement for innovative and advanced inspection technology in
various sectors attributed to reduction in cost of manufacture and increased
efficacy can augment demand for 3D scanning.
Growing adoption of 3D
scanners in healthcare and automobile sector to support component designing can
augment growth of market. Surgeons and medical practitioners are expected to
use 3D scanning technology in various surgical procedures. It can support
surgeons in delivering cost-effective healthcare services and improving quality
of care over next few years. In addition, increasing use of 3D technology in
automotive sector for designing aerodynamic and lightweight carbon fiber
automobiles can stimulate market growth. Moreover, rising demand for 3D
scanners in architecture and engineering sector to develop realistic proto
types is likely to fuel market growth during the forecast period (2014 to
2025).
The 3D scanning market can be
segregated on the basis of product, range, application, and region. Based on
product, the market can be categorized into structured light scanner, laser
scanner, and optical scanner. In 2015, 3D laser scanners segment dominated the
market and accounted for largest market share equivalent to USD 2.26 billion.
3D scanning and post printing systems are expected to fuel growth of segment.
They can allow users to dynamically modify their designs and build realistic
proto types in architecture and maritime sectors. Hence, the segment is
expected to grow at similar pace during the forecast period owing to low cost.

On the contrary, structured
light scanner segment is predicted to grow fast and account for CAGR of 10.4%
during the forecast period.
Based on range, the market can
be classified into medium range, short range, and long range. In 2015, short
range 3D scanners segment dominated the market and accounted for 67.9% market
share. Portability and low cost of this device is likely to fuel its demand. In
addition, growing awareness regarding application of such scanners including
material inspection, product designing, and modeling can augment growth of
segment during the forecast period.
On the contrary, medium range
segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. These
scanners can operate within range of 1 meter to 300 meters and find numerous
applications in civil engineering, architecture, archeology, and heritage. In
addition, morbidly priced medium range scanners can supplement requirement of
long range scanners too. This, in turn can fuel growth of segment over the
forecast period.
Based on application, the
market can be divided into aerospace & defense, healthcare, architecture
& engineering, industrial manufacturing, and other. In 2015, industrial
manufacturing application segment dominated the market and accounted for 38.8%
market share. Growing adoption of 3D scanning in automotive designing and
manufacturing, material processing, and plant inspection can augment growth of
segment during the forecast period.

Regional segmentation includes
Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East &
Africa. In 2015, North America dominated the market and accounted for 32.6%
market share to become one of most influential markets in 3D scanning vertical.
Based on advanced technology, touch screen laser scanning models are likely to
deliver high screen resolution to deliver vibrant graphics and improved user
experience. The region is expected to grow at similar pace over the forecast
period attributed to rising R&D spending. In addition, rising adoption of
3D scanning technology in automotive sector and environmental scanning and
modelling operations can augment growth.
On the contrary, Asia Pacific
is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period attributed
to growth opportunities generated from architectural sector and industrial
manufacturing.
Some of the leading companies
offering 3D scanning are Nikon Metrology NV; David Vision Systems GmbH; FARO
Technologies; Autodesk, Inc.; and Fuel3D Technologies Limited. Most suppliers
are likely to get involved in supply contracts for some raw material and
related components to counter price volatility of market state. These contracts
are expected to have terms ranging from one month to one year in order to
lock-in prices and manage risks pertaining to raw material supply shortages. In
some cases there can exist low level vertical integration among raw material
suppliers and manufacturers.
