3D Scanner Market Size
3D Scanner Market to surpass USD 15.4 billion by 2031 from USD 3.58 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 15.7% in the coming years, i.e., 2021-2031.
3D scanning is a non-destructive, non-contact technology that uses a line of laser light to digitally capture the contours of actual things and the environment. Additionally, 3D scanning technology saves time, money, and labor during the manufacturing process while also improving output quality. 3D scanners use lasers, light, or x-rays to capture the dimensions of real-world objects and generate point clouds, which are then used to create a 3D model of the scanned object using the software.
Market Highlights
Global 3D Scanner Market is expected to project a notable CAGR of 15.7% in 2031.
Factors such as the increased adoption of next-generation virtual reality and augmented reality technologies in the construction industry are expected to boost the 3D scanning market significantly.

Market Dynamics
Drivers
The Growing Number of Technological Advancements and Need for Accuracy
Continuous technological developments in 3D scanning, together with a surge in demand for highly precise 3D scanning, are significant drivers influencing the worldwide 3D scanning industry's growth. Furthermore, the market opportunity is likely to be driven by an increase in the demand to capture massive volumes of 3D data for modelling and analysis. Growth in the 3D printing industry, on the other hand, produces the demand for structured light-based 3D scanning, which is likely to provide the 3D scanning market with significant growth opportunities throughout the projection period.
Versatility and Accuracy offered by Laser Scanners
3D laser scanners' accuracy and versatility lead to their fast adoption in a variety of industries. Owing to its widespread availability and ease of use, the market for 3D laser scanners is expected to increase rapidly. Automotive, architecture and construction, medical, and energy and power are just a few of the industries that use these scanners.
Restraint
Rising Awareness of the Product Price than the Product Itself
The price of the product is the primary reason for its low adoption rate. 3D scanners are more expensive than normal scanners, and consumers are more aware of the price of the scanners than of the goods. It is critical to raise awareness about the 3D scanner and its diverse applications. The audience is assured that the price is expensive due to advanced features. As a result, in this 3D Scanner Market, a lack of product awareness is a demand restraint.
