What are the growth drivers of this industry?

Accelerated adoption of automation processes to increase demand for metrology equipment

Industrial automation is growing rapidly since the last decade, in 2020 it was valued at USD 175 billion. The adoption of automation is expected to increase with a CAGR of 9% by 2025. In 2025 worldwide industrial automation is likely to cross a value of USD 265 billion.

The manufacturing of sophisticated high-tech items is going towards automation, which will increase demand for reducing errors and flaws. Manufacturers are concentrating on investing in inspection technology in order to reduce operational expenses.

Furthermore, Significant investments have been made in metrology and inspection equipment as a result of growing demand on manufacturers to reduce operational costs to boost profit margins and a growing tendency towards computer-aided measuring systems to move towards automation.

Rising demand from pharmaceutical brands is likely to increase sales.

As manufacturers across the pharmaceutical industry are focusing on the elimination of errors and increasing product life cycle it is anticipated to bring a swift uptake in the industry in the forecast period. As this equipment reduces cost and saves time in production, finds crucial applications in medical device manufacturing.

What are the challenges ahead for manufacturers?

The main constraint faced by the companies is the variation of device standards across different regions. The region's businesses adhere to their own measurement standards that diverge from worldwide norms, which presents a problem for suppliers of metrology and inspection equipment.

A factor that is anticipated to negatively impact the growth of the market during the forecast period is the need for a lack of sufficiently skilled labour force and technicians to operate metrology equipment.

Trends and Opportunities in the Market

Technology's underlying science is always evolving, and new techniques and tools are continuously being developed. The future of the industrial sector is likewise dynamic. Due to trends and technological developments in the sector, a change is anticipated. The following trends are anticipated to transform the future of the manufacturing industry.

Articulated 3D measuring arms to bring accuracy and efficiency

3D measurements are likely to gain mainstay operation in the manufacturing process as they are considered simple to be done on the production floor. More sophisticated tools for measurement are likely to increase accuracy and efficiency. This portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is effective in measuring small and medium parts when fitted with laser probes.

The laser scanners for high precision

The laser scanner is typically used in packaging projects to measure edges, forms, robots, and food volume. The measurements are taken using line triangulation, optical, and laser technology. It was created using a camera with a high degree of precision and resolution.

A digital calliper is easy to use with an electronic display

The digital calliper is well-liked for inspection in manufacturing since it offers a sizable jaw depth capacity and a suitable diameter. Additionally, it has data transfer capabilities. Each of its metric conversions provides a generally recognised unit of measurement for that specific position. Most of these callipers are able to measure up to 0.01mm.

The manufacturing process relies on the use of metrological tools. They make sure accuracy and standards are met, which is crucial because any measurement error will probably affect the entire production process and the final product. Manufacturing's use of metrology has a bright future and will help to improve the processes' accuracy and efficiency.
