DUBLIN, March 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Industrial Metrology Market with COVID-19 Impact Analysis by Offering, Equipment, Application (Quality & Inspection, Reverse Engineering, Mapping & Modelling), End-user Industry, and Geography - Forecast to 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global industrial metrology market is expected to grow from USD 9.8 billion in 2021 to USD 13.2 billion by 2026; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period.

The market has been witnessing significant growth over the past years, mainly owing to the rising demand for big data analytics, and increasing demand for automobiles in emerging economies. Increasing adoption of cloud services to integrate metrological data and rise in demand for industry 4.0 are also expected to considerably boost the industrial metrology market in the coming years.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Industrial Metrology Market

The world is facing an economic crisis caused by COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic like various other markets has also led to a decline in the growth rate of the industrial metrology market, especially in 2020 and 2021. This is because organizations in most of the major demand-generating verticals are currently, or were, non-operational in various countries, thereby negatively impacting the industrial metrology market. The COVID-19 pandemic has also operations on a massive scale, and manufacturers are facing the challenge of assessing the impact. Past and current lockdowns resulting in the shutdown of manufacturing facilities have put a lot of strain on the industrial sector.

In terms of market size, the hardware segment is expected to dominate the industrial metrology market

The hardware segment is expected to dominate the industrial metrology market during the forecast period and is likely to witness significant growth in the said market from 2021 to 2026.

The scope of the hardware segment of the industrial metrology market includes coordinate measuring machine (CMM), optical digitizers and scanners (ODS), measuring instruments, X-ray & computed tomography, automated optical inspection systems, form measurement equipment, and 2D equipment. Companies offering hardware in the industrial metrology market are continuously working on updating their product portfolio. For instance, in recent years, FARO Technologies (US) have done various developments in its industrial metrology products, including portable measuring arms.

Industrial metrology market for CMM to register highest CAGR from 2021 to 2026

The CMM segment accounted for the largest share of the industrial metrology market and is expected to follow the trend during the forecast period. The rising need for precision dimensional analysis and validation of geometric accuracy in the manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace & defense industries is the factor responsible for the largest share of the CMM segment. The precision and accuracy of the CMM measurements are very high. Flexibility, reduced setup time, higher accuracy, and increased productivity are the major advantages of CMMs over conventional gaging.

High adoption of industrial metrology products in quality control & inspection application drives market growth

Quality control is an integral part of the production processes as it helps in the smooth functioning of the production department without incurring any extra cost. The increasing competition and need for improving safety have resulted in the high adoption of quality control and inspection systems in various industries, including automotive, aerospace & defense, and semiconductor. In these industries, maintaining and enhancing the quality of a product is of high importance. As industrial metrology equipment are the best available options in the market for quality control and inspection application, their adoption has increased at a significant rate.

APAC to witness the highest growth in the market during the forecast period

APAC is expected to witness the highest growth in the industrial metrology market during the forecast period. The industrial metrology market in APAC is expected to grow during the forecast period. Industrial metrology companies are expanding their presence in APAC. China, Japan, and India will be the major countries driving the growth of the industrial metrology market in APAC. Automobile and electronics manufacturers use industrial metrology systems during the production process for quality inspections; as the number of automobile manufacturing plants is more in APAC than other regions, the demand for industrial metrology offerings is expected to grow rapidly in this region.
