Report Overview

Global 3D Scanner Market- Industry Trends & Forecast Report 2028

The Global 3D Scanner Market was worth USD 3.0 Billion in 2021, and it is further projected to reach USD 7.9 Billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 14.8 % during 2022-2028 (forecast period). Due to the rise in demand for extremely accurate 3D scanning, the market share for 3D scanning is anticipated to experience noticeable development throughout the forecast period. The market has expanded as a result of ongoing 3D scanning technical improvements.

An increase in research and development activity by numerous organisations around the world is attributed for this expansion. For instance, it has been reported that testing of cutting-edge 3D scanners has started in March 2021 by researchers at the University of Southampton and their collaborator, Exceed Worldwide. The action aims to contribute to improving the scope and quality of prosthetics services on a global scale.

3D Scanner Market Overview

A line of laser light is used in 3D scanning, an improved non-destructive, non-contact technology, to digitally capture the contours of real items and their surroundings. Additionally, 3D scanning technology improves output quality while also saving time, money, and effort during the production process. In essence, 3D scanners use laser, light, or x-rays to capture the dimensions of real objects and produce point clouds, which are then used to software to produce a 3D model of the scanned object. Additionally, the use of 3D printer scanners has grown dramatically in a variety of industries, including aerospace & defence, automotive, healthcare, and others.

Global 3D Scanner Market Trends

Growth Drivers

Increasing Technological Advancements in the Medical Sector is Driving the 3D Scanner Market

Dentists employ 3D scanning technology to gather precise patient readings in a least intrusive manner in order to place dental implants. Dental labs are rapidly implementing digital formats and procedures, including as 3D scanning, CAD, and various additive manufacturing technologies. The patient's particular dental anatomy is recorded by the 3D scanner and converted into a 3D digital CAD file. The use of practical additive manufacturing technologies makes it simple to alter and print this file. It enhances the patient's and dentist's degree of communication. This technology can assist the technician in advising the patient by scanning a 3D model.

3D scanning is a requirement for Product Lifecycle Management to spur market expansion.

Every stage of the product lifecycle management (PLM) process, including the concept stage, design stage, manufacturing stage, and servicing stage, is seen by companies as needing 3D scanning as a key tool. Scanners are used in the concept stage of PLM to establish requirements and specifications, concept designs, and prototypes. Rapid prototyping, computer-aided design (CAD), testing, simulation, and analysis are all used during the design stage. For instance, Faro Technologies' FARO 8-Axis Design ScanArm 2.5C can be used at practically every level of the product lifecycle management process. In reverse engineering, 3D modelling, and CAD-based design, it serves as a scanner. This expanding adoption of 3D scanning into PLM procedures is sustaining the growth of the 3D scanning market.

Restraints

3D Scanner Requires Huge Investment

The equipment/components utilised have limitations that cause the restrictions. To guarantee a scanner's smooth operation, the parts required for its construction, such as lenses and other electronic components, must be fault-free and dependable. The capability of the scanning systems was increased by a number of tests and failures. Investments in all these technological advancements are huge. To obtain more accuracy, precision, and reliability, R&D techniques and expensive components are used, which eventually drives up the price of the final product.

Impact of COVID-19 On the Global 3D Scanner Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial impact on the development of 3D scanning in 2020, but by the end of 2022, it is anticipated that demand for virtual reality and augmented reality solutions will have increased dramatically. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, brought about a number of challenges, including a shortage of skilled workers and project delays or cancellations due to a partial or total lockdown around the world. During the projection period, the 3D scanning market will grow due to the increased adoption of 3D scanning solutions in the commercial, construction, and healthcare sectors.

Global 3D Scanner – By Range

Due to the affordability and accessibility of portable scanning devices as well as growing knowledge of numerous application fields like product designing, material inspection, and modelling, short-range 3D scanners currently hold the majority of the market share. The medium-range segment is expected to grow at a significant rate These devices function from 1 and 300 metres, and they have several uses in the fields of civil engineering, industrial manufacture, architecture, cultural preservation, and archaeology. Additionally, long-range scanners are frequently supplemented, which will lead to significant expansion in the market.

Global 3D Scanner – By Application

Based on application, the market is segmented into entertainment & media, aerospace & defense, healthcare, civil & architecture, industrial manufacturing, and others. Due to the dynamic requests for 3D scanning in applications for material processing, automotive designing, production, and plant inspection, automotive applications are anticipated to hold the largest market share in 2021.

By 2028, the manufacturing industry is anticipated to become more significant. An essential tool in the manufacturing industry, the use of a 3D optical scanner produces a very accurate picture of the 3D printed object. As an instance, the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS) has been scanning composite materials (epoxy/carbon) using the MetraSCAN 3D optical scanner from Creaform Inc. for CAD comparisons and parts.
