Inline Metrology Market is Expected to Showcase Rampant Growth Over 2030

Pune, India, August 2020, MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has published a Half-Cooked Research Report on the Global Inline Metrology Market.

Market Overview

According to Market Research Future, the Global Inline Metrology Market has been segmented based on Product, Application, Vertical, and Region.

Technological advancements, along with the increasing adoption of AI technology in the automotive industry, has fueled the expansion of the global inline metrology market. Also, the demand for customized solutions from automobile manufacturers has contributed to market growth. However, the lack of skilled system integrators and the complexity of advanced inline metrology software solutions are a few of the factors that are likely to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.

By product, the market has been segmented into coordinate measuring machines (CMM), machine vision systems, multisensor measuring systems, optical scanners, laser trackers, and others. CMMs enhance production efficiency and provide complete traceability in a production line. CMMs are highly accurate; however, they require much time to set up, program, and measure. These machines require regular calibration to ensure that the 3D points are accurately translated from a coordinate measuring machine to real-world coordinates.

By application, the market has been segmented into quality control and inspection, reverse engineering, and others. Among these, inline metrology systems are largely used for quality control and inspection in manufacturing to ascertain the quality and uniformity of all the parts produced in a production line. On the contrary, reverse engineering is used for the inspection of turbine blades, car body parts, and engine parts, among others.

By vertical, the market has been segmented into automotive, aerospace, semiconductors, energy & power, and others. Among these, the automotive segment is expected to grow at a significant rate throughout the forecast period. Automotive design and styling are some of the important processes in the automotive industry. Inline metrology helps the manufacturer to avoid quality issues in vehicle assembly.

By region, the market has been segmented as Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and the rest of the world. North America was the global market leader in 2019, and it is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. Increasing investments in the research & development of automation technologies are expected to propel the demand for inline metrology systems in this region. On the flip side, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period. The increasing adoption of sensors and smart devices in manufacturing facilities is one of the major factors fueling the market growth.
