3D Scanners Global Market Overview 2024-2030: AI, LiDAR, and AR Drive Innovations, Portable and Cloud-Integrated Scanners Gain Adoption, Affordability and Multi-Modality Propel Growth - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "3D Scanners - A Global Market Overview" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global demand for 3D Scanners is projected to reach US$8.8 billion by 2030 from an estimated market size of US$4.9 billion in 2024 at a robust CAGR of 10.2% between 2024 and 2030.

This global report on 3D Scanners analyzes the market based on scanner type, installation type, range, application and end-use sector for regional and country markets from 2021 to 2030 in terms of market value in US$. In addition to providing profiles of major companies operating in this space, the latest corporate and industrial developments have been covered to offer a clear panorama of how and where the market is progressing.

Some of the primary factors driving the demand for 3D Scanners include wider adoption of portable & handheld scanners, integration of artificial intelligence (AI) & machine learning (ML), evolution of LiDAR scanners, support offered to multi-modality in scanning, use of cloud-based data processing & collaboration, augmented reality (AR) integration and the need to make these devices affordable & accessible to a wider user base. Owing to the nature of the beast, this technology will continue to develop over the coming period to further provide innovative solutions that can ease lacunae in various sectors.

For example, product lifecycle management (PLM) is a crucial industrial process that entails the stages of concept, design, manufacturing and servicing. At this juncture, 3D Scanners can be utilized for establishing the various requirements and specifications, leading to concept designs and prototypes. In the design stage, a 3D Scanner can be employed for rapid prototyping, computer-aided design (CAD), testing, simulation and analysis. The tool can be further made use of in assembling & manufacturing, followed by quality control at the production stage. Any product's process of life cycle management would be incomplete without documentation, maintenance, repair, replacement, reuse and restoration during the servicing phase, which are adequately accomplished using 3D Scanners.

While these devices have several very evident benefits in terms of advanced technology and applications, wider adoption of 3D Scanners still faces certain roadblocks. These include high initial investment cost to procure equipment and lack of adequately trained personnel to manage these tools. The latter drawback becomes more apparent in instances where 3D scanning systems are integrated with other solutions for improving their functionality, thereby needing the technical proficiency of experts to operate the same.

Further, small- and medium-scale enterprises generally shy away from acquiring and using advanced technological solutions due to budgetary constraints, for which it is imperative that 3D Scanners be affordable and practicable for all types of operations. Accuracy and performance of 3D Scanners can be ensured only by regular proper calibration and maintenance, which can be expensive and take time to achieve, thereby limiting the scope of potential users. Lack of awareness about this technology, despite its quite widespread penetration, and issues related to compatibility when integrated with multiple systems are further hindrances for the demand for 3D Scanners.
