3D Metrology Market Overview
3D metrology is the scientific study of physical measurement. However, in looser terms, it's often referred to as the general field of precision measurement within the industry. In its basic form, applying 3D metrology is very accurately acquiring an object's geometrical data in 3 axes (x, y, z). The rising adoption of 3D metrology equipment by several industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction and engineering, energy and power, and heavy machinery to maintain the quality of the product is the prime factor that escalates the growth of the 3D Metrology market.
Furthermore, the growing demand for industry 4.0 plays an important role in the market development. Industry 4.0 focuses on digitizing the physical assets and their integration into digital ecosystems with several value chain members. In addition, notable developments in software-driven process automation and portable metrology equipment for customized services have also intensified the growth of the 3D Metrology market. Moreover, other key aspects such as increased R&D spending on 3D metrology, focus on quality control while manufacturing goods, and demand for higher productivity by electronics manufacturing services companies are majorly contributes to the market’s expansion to a large extent. In addition, the growing adoption of cloud computing services is anticipated to offer various growth opportunities to players in the 3D metrology market.
On the downside, the high cost is incurred in maintaining and regulating 3D metrology tools, metrology software, and software updates, and hiring metrologists, and providing regular training. Hence, the high cost associated with setting up a 3D metrology facility is the major factor that restrains the growth of the global 3D Metrology market.

Covid-19 Impact on 3D Metrology Market
Like many other industries, COVID-19 badly knocked the electronic and semiconductor industries. This unprecedented event has impacted nearly 230 countries in just a few weeks, resulting in the forced shutdown of manufacturing and transportation activities within and across the countries. This has directly affected the overall sector's growth. It is estimated that COVID-19 to leave more than USD 30 billion impacts on the electronics and semiconductor industry. The sector is majorly affected due to transport restrictions on major electronics and semiconductor raw material providers. However, the emerging need for semiconductors in several industries will offer rapid market recovery over the future period.
3D Metrology Market Segment Overview

Based on Offering, the Services segment is expected to hold the largest share in the global 3D Metrology market in the forecast period. The high cost acquired in setting up a 3D metrology facility and the lack of 3D metrology experts are the key aspects for the growth of the 3D metrology services segment.
