USA Construction Market inflation reduction act

The global 3D scanning market is supported by the heightened demand from the construction sector. The global construction sector is driven by the increasing government spending on infrastructure, and the rising urban population in emerging markets such as China and India. By 2050, the rate of urbanization, globally, is expected to reach around 68% compared to 55% in 2018. In 2022, the Construction Index’s top 100 companies, including Balfour Beatty Plc, Kier Group Plc, and Amey UK Plc., among others, generated a revenue of USD 74.2 billion.

The USA’s construction market is growing, driven by the Inflation Reduction Act passed in 2022 which is attracting investment in manufacturing and mega infrastructural projects.

Key Trends and Developments

Global 3D Scanning Market Trends

3D scanning is extensively used in the automotive sector for creating detailed car models and ensuring quality control of components. It provides high-precision measurements, enabling the detection of even minor deviations from specifications. The detailed visualization of geometric models allows manufacturers to identify defects and optimize designs, supporting timely deliveries. The increasing popularity of electric vehicles is boosting the market, with the global electric car stock projected to grow from 16.5 million in 2021 to nearly 350 million by 2030.

AI can assist in aligning and merging multiple scans from various angles or sources to produce a cohesive digital model. Additionally, it can classify and categorize scanned objects based on user-defined criteria, such as shape or colour, thereby minimizing the manual effort needed to refine a model.

Global 3D Scanning Market Share

Based on end user, the manufacturing sector accounts for a significant share of the market

The adoption of 3D scanning streamlines the manufacturing processes by capturing the precise dimensions, geometries and surface data of physical objects and converting them into accurate representations. The presence of initiatives such as Industry 4.0, that enables the digital transformation of manufacturing sector is supporting the market for 3D scanning. According to the United Nations, in 2022, the global manufacturing value added (MVA) per capita increased to USD 1,879. Europe and North America reached USD 5,093 in 2022.

In 2022, the global defence expenditure surpassed USD 2.24 trillion. The increasing defence spending across the globe is further supporting the market growth. The military and aerospace sector is undergoing a significant transformation with the adoption of 3D scanning for a wide range of purposes including maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) processes, damage assessments, and reverse engineering of parts.

Based on range, the short-range is a major contributor to the global 3D scanning market revenue

Short-range 3d scanning provides increased flexibility in manufacturing processes, pattern making, and quality control. The technologies adopted for short-range scanning are handheld scanners, structured light scanners, laser trackers, laser scanners, PCMMS and fixed-position CMMs.

Phase shift 3d scanners work at shorter ranges from 80 to 120 meters maximum, with a typical operating range of 1 to 50 meters. Phase-shift 3D scanners are also being used as medium-range scanners in automobiles, large pumps, and industrial equipment. The scanners capture data points by rotating 360 degrees using a spinning mirror to direct the laser outward toward the objects or areas being 3D scanned.
