What Transformation Has the Industrial Metrology Market Undergone?
The industrial metrology market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In the past few years, the size of the industrial metrology market has seen significant expansion. The market is expected to increase from a value of $10.97 billion in 2024 to $11.75 billion in 2025, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The rise in the historical period can be linked to the need for quality assurance, precision in manufacturing, globalization of supply chains, expansion of the automotive industry, improvements in production processes, and compliance with quality standards.
What Are The Predictions for The Industrial Metrology Market in the Coming Years?
The Industrial Metrology market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Over the coming years, the industrial metrology sector is predicted to witness robust expansion. The market will increase to $16.56 billion by 2029, showcasing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%.
This estimated expansion during the forecasted period is largely due to the emergence of smart factories, rising demand for easily portable metrology solutions, progress in the creation of superior materials, advancements in the domain of space exploration and aerospace. Also, the move towards miniaturization is a factor. Key market trends in the upcoming period include the emphasis on manufacturing customization, the application of augmented reality (AR), the application of digital twins, the rising adoption of robotic metrology systems, and the increasing use of 3D metrology.
Which Drivers Are Accelerating Growth In The Industrial Metrology Market?
There is an anticipation that the increasing use of hybrid and electric vehicles will stimulate the expansion of the industrial metrology market. Hybrid electric cars are ones that utilise an internal combustion engine alongside one or more electric motors that operate using power from batteries. As gears for electric vehicles (EV) are crucial for enhancing range, metrology plays an instrumental role in ensuring the manufacturing process is efficient, thereby promoting growth in the industrial metrology market. To illustrate, a report by the France-based International Energy Agency (IEA), a supplier of secure and eco-friendly energy, predicts in 2022, the worldwide count of electric vehicles will hit 16.5 million. Further, the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario projects over 300 million electric vehicles on the roads by 2030, accounting for 60% of all new vehicle sales. Thus, the escalating use of hybrid and electric vehicles is fueling the expansion of the industrial metrology market.
