Metrology Market: Overview
Metrology is the name given to the science of measuring. It creates a shared understanding of units and is essential for linking human activities. The process of enforcing, validating, and verifying established traceability, accuracy, and reliability requirements is referred to as metrology. These parameters are important because they have an impact on measurement validity. The government and the appropriate authorities have enforced them since these requirements might vary significantly.
Consequently, these standards are validated and assessed in comparison to a recognized quality system at calibration laboratories. Instruments used in various industries must operate correctly, and industrial metrology is employed to ensure this. Additionally, it provides the maintenance, quality assurance, and accurate calibration of measuring devices. Businesses use cutting-edge 3D metrology software that enables noncontact, quick, and precise testing. By fusing comparable and traditional technologies, this upgraded software provides metrology system operators with a more sophisticated user interface to aid in improving the fineness of their assessments.
Metrology Market: COVID – 19 Impact Analysis
Global economies have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. For several industries, COVID-19 has created some difficulties. The spread of COVID-19 has had an effect on the metrology market. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted global operations in some sectors and regions. Due to the enterprises’ restricted supply or decreased demand, the virus’s adverse consequences appeared more frequently in places where customers, suppliers, or manufacturers do business. This had a significant effect and had an effect on the whole metrology sector. Workforce shortages, restricted production, postponed purchases, supply-chain disruptions, and restrictions on cross-border trade are to blame for this. These factors delay the fulfillment of consignments of raw materials and components, particularly those from China. Moreover, the manufacturing industry has a massive influence on the United States. China has experienced a fall in sales of electronic components to other countries of about 40% and a reduction in manufacturing capacity of over 14%.
Metrology Market: Growth Drivers
Increased research and development (R&D) spending to accelerate the market’s growth
To develop cutting-edge metrology products and solutions, more money is being invested globally in R&D. Due to continued R&D, the electronics sector is seeing rapid technological advancement. These industries have also created new apps for precise management and inspection to increase efficiency and meet the increased demands. The market’s expansion is also projected to be fueled by these factors. The need for metrology will also be significantly impacted by the rising modeling and data analysis in various industries and the high demand for extensive data analysis.
Increased applications in aerospace & defense and automotive verticals
The expansion of the metrology systems market is anticipated to be aided by an increase in the use of these systems in the aerospace, defense, and automotive industries. A developing trend that permits the integration of automated, accurate, and reliable measurements into production lines is the increased deployment of in-line metrology equipment. The broad adoption of Industry 4.0 techniques that entail Machine to Machine (M2M) communication depends on in-line metrology devices. By helping to optimize the manufacturing process, in-line appliance metrics monitoring is crucial for adopting Industry 4.0 techniques and is anticipated to drive the worldwide market for metrology systems.
Growing Demand for metrology services across a range of end-use industries
For various end-use sectors, including automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and power generation, service providers provide metrology services, which are measuring services. Because more applications are being made in various end-use sectors, the market for metrology services is anticipated to expand quickly over the projected period. In addition, by maximizing productivity while keeping the resource needs constant, these services help to increase efficiency. During the production process, several types of metrology products are employed separately or as part of an integrated system for quality control and inspection, 3D measurement, product quality optimization, reverse engineering, etc. However, due to their high prices, high precision equipment makes it difficult for manufacturers to maintain their inventory at standard. This has led to the emergence of the service sector, where producers may now receive measuring services from outside suppliers.
Metrology Market: Segmentation Analysis
The metrology market is segmented into the product and end user. Based on the product, the demand for the coordinate measuring machine (CMM) segment is estimated to lead the market during the forecast period. Due to CMM’s ability to produce positional, dimensional, and surface measurements in a single system, this market sector is anticipated to grow rapidly. Additionally, CMM enables accurate object measurement for testing, assembly, design, profiling, and reverse engineering of components. Growth in the market is anticipated to be fueled by the increased demand for CMM’s calibration, machine installation, and retrofitting services throughout the projected period. Its quick growth may be ascribed to its high precision, rapidity, and accuracy in measuring length for diverse purposes. These tools are used in pilot plants for automobiles’ metrology, style, and design. A few benefits include high accuracy, rapid data flow, high-temperature resistance, and optimization for difficult-to-scan surfaces.
The optical digitizer and scanner (ODS) segment is predicted to grow significantly during the projection period. Optical digitizers and scanners are used in various metrology service applications, including surface analysis, gas turbine blade inspection, car component inspection, automotive design and styling, powertrain components, pilot plant metrology, and aviation component inspection. In addition, laser scanners may record the component’s whole geometry for review and other technical purposes. These scanners have several characteristics, including real-time operation, enhanced speed, and high accuracy. Consequently, it is expected that the ODS sector will drive the market.
By end user, the aerospace segment is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. The advancement of dimensional metrology services, portable CMMs, robot-mounted optical CMM scanners, 3D measurement devices, and cloud-based software application platforms has increased metrology services.
The projected period is predicted to see some development in the automotive application category due to improvements in automotive technology that improve component precision. To ensure passengers’ safety, comfort, and contentment, every seat, door, panel, and component in a car must be perfectly aligned. Therefore, the need for metrology services is also driven by the need for tolerance measurement to check and assess equipment alignment on machines.
