3D scanning technology has been gaining popularity in numerous industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, entertainment, construction, and automobile. The applications of 3D scanners are on the rise in reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, quality inspection, body scans, and numerous other services. In addition, the adoption of efficient scanning technology is on the rise in healthcare applications due to increased income level, enhanced medical facilities, and improved awareness regarding hygiene.

3D scanning is a process that captures the three-dimensional attributes of an object along with information such as color and texture. This technology helps save time, cost, and efforts during a manufacturing process and thus, improves the quality of the output.3D scanners substantially capture the dimensions of physical objects using laser, light, or x-rays and create point clouds, which are then used to produce a 3D representation of the scanned object using software.

The global 3D Scanning Market was valued at $8,427.0 million in 2017, and is projected to reach $53,345.0 million by 2025, registering a CAGR of 25.7% from 2018 to 2025. North America was the highest contributor to the global market, with 39% of the market share in 2017, registering a CAGR of 23.1% during the forecast period 2018-2025.

Growth in demand for the 3D printing market, use of high definition content recording for movies, and historical site preservation by 3D scanners are some of the factors that are expected to create lucrative growth opportunities during the forecast period.

At present, North America dominates the market, followed by Europe. In 2017, the U.S. dominated the North America market and the UK led the overall market in Europe. While, in Asia-Pacific, China currently dominates the market.
