Metrology Systems Market: Drivers and challenges

Increase in the usage of metrology systems for applications in aerospace & defence and automotive verticals is expected to support the growth of the metrology systems market during the forecast period. The increasing adoption of in-line metrology systems is an emerging trend that enables the integration of automated, accurate and reliable measurements into production lines.

In-line metrology systems are essential for the widespread adoption of Industry 4.0 practices that involve Machine to Machine (M2M) communication. In-line appliance metrics monitoring is important for the implementation of 4.0 practices by aiding in fine-tuning the production process and are expected to fuel the global metrology systems market.

However, companies in different regions follow their own measuring standards, which differ from international standards, and this is a challenge for metrology systems vendors. The lack of skilled labour force and technicians required to operate metrology systems is another factor expected to adversely affect the growth of the metrology systems market during the forecast period.
