Global 3D Scanner Market size was valued at USD 19.55 billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 22.92 billion in 2023 to USD 82.05 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 17.28% during the forecast period (2024-2031).

As 3D laser scanners are readily available and easy to use, the 3D Scanner market is expected to increase significantly throughout the forecast period. The automobile, architecture & construction, healthcare, and energy & power sectors all make extensive use of these scanners. In the early stages of designing, manufacturing, and installing individual parts and completed goods in automobiles, the automotive industry makes extensive use of 3D scanners. In the manufacturing of automobiles, quality control and inspection are also crucial procedures. In this sector, 3D scanning is also widely used for reverse engineering, aftermarket design, simulation, and prototype. It is anticipated that these applications will fuel the global demand for 3D scanners. 

Growing market trends in the global 3D scanner industry indicate a shifting landscape characterized by emerging technologies and elevated consumer demands. The increasing use of small and compact 3D printers is a trend in this direction. These little gadgets are versatile and easy to use, so you can obtain precise 3D data from them in a variety of scenarios. Many disciplines, particularly archaeology, construction, and design, where precise data collection must be done on-site, require portable choices. The application of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) technology is another modification to 3D scanning systems.
