The global 3D scanner market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 10.71% over the forecast period to reach US$3.533 billion by 2029, increasing from an estimated value of US$2.124 billion in 2024.

3D scanners are devices that scan data of physical objects and convert it into a 3D CAD model. Such devices analyze objects from the real world to create data that enables the reconstruction of the object’s appearance and shape. Demand for reverse engineering services is gaining traction in various sectors such as defense, aerospace, manufacturing, and automotive, which has positively impacted the 3D scanner’s market demand.

Moreover, the increasing number of terrorist attacks has further augmented the demand for 3D scanners to scan faces and bodies for security surveillance at airports and other public places. Other factors, such as technological advancement and the development of handheld 3D scanners, are projected to expand the global 3D scanner market in the forthcoming years. Furthermore, the increasing demand for whole-body scanners to get deep insights into medical problems will also propel the 3D scanner market growth globally.

Global 3D Scanner Market Drivers

  • The growing automotive sector has accelerated the overall market expansion.

3D scanning is slowly finding its way into the automotive sector, where it is enabling manufacturers to transform the way automotive components, assemblies, and parts are designed, prototypes, and customized. The growing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles coupled with innovations in overall vehicle design is expected to positively impact the overall market demand. Furthermore, the applicability of such technology further improves the overall production, which in today's times is imperative to manufacturers, especially when automotive production is witnessing a boom fuelled by the growing demand. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, in 2022, global automotive production witnessed a 6% increase over 2021, with the overall production reaching 85.01 million units.

  • The growing aerospace sector has propelled the overall market growth.

3D scanning has revolutionized aerospace manufacturing, where, besides its applicability in components manufacturing and customization, the technology also provides excellent measurement capabilities to check the geometric dimension of aerospace parts. The growing aircraft manufacturing industry has accelerated the adoption of new technological innovations to achieve optimum utilization of resources. With the booming air passenger traffic and ongoing investments in military aircraft enhancements, such technology is expected to witness positive growth in the coming years. According to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, in Q2 2023, total aircraft shipment globally witnessed a 47.4% increase compared to Q1 2023.

  • A laser scanner is anticipated to account for a considerable market share.

The 3D scanner market is analyzed by type into optical, laser, and structured light scanners. Laser scanners are expected to hold a significant market share, fuelled by their ease of availability coupled with the emerging trend of 3D presentation and design.

The optical scanners are projected to witness the fastest market growth usage of scanning technologies such as bar codes, magnetic ink character recognition (MICR), and radio frequency identification (RFID) tags in sectors such as the packaging industry, banking and finance industry, and education sector, among other industry verticals. The Structured Light Scanner (SLS) market will also experience considerable growth due to rising demand for photographic and bathymetric seafloor maps for environmental study purposes and for archaeological sites.   

  • Oil & Gas sector is expected to grow at a significant rate.

The global 3D scanner market is segmented by industry verticals into healthcare, military and defense, media and entertainment, manufacturing, construction, and others. The oil and gas industry is one of the significant end-users for these products because they can aid in the development of a 3D terrain survey for any upstream or downstream site.

Likewise, the growing emphasis on improving overall crude oil and petrochemical supply by major oil-producing nations is estimated to propel the demand for 3D scanning in the oil & gas sector for designing, construction sequencing, and pre-fabrication applications. Additionally, automotive manufacturers are investing in 3D printing & scanning technologies to analyze their vehicle structural integrity, enabling them to analyze the cost of production, which is expected to stimulate market expansion.

Global 3D Scanner Market Geographical Outlook

  • North America will hold a considerable market share.

By geography, the global 3D scanner market has been segmented into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific (APAC) regions. North America accounts for a significant share of the global 3D scanner market. This is attributed to the strong presence of key players in the region offering state-of-the-art 3D scanner products and the rising adoption of VDI/VDE regulations defining 3D scanner specifications.

The European 3D Scanner market will witness considerable growth during the forecast period owing to the region's rising manufacturing and automotive industries. However, the Asia Pacific region is also anticipated to witness the fastest regional market growth during the forecast period. This growth is due to rising demand for 3D scanners and their applications in the automotive, architecture, construction, and healthcare sectors.
