According to Technavio’s market research report, the global industrial scanners market will grow at a CAGR of close to 7% during the forecast period. The growing adoption of welding inspection scanners in ship constructions will act as one of the key drivers for the market’s growth during the projected period. One of the critical operations in ship constructions is the welding process, which can cause a failure in ship operations if not carried out carefully. The traditional technique to inspect defects involves the visual inspection of welding. This has a high probability of human error because it involves the examination of the weld and determining surface discontinuities with the human eye. Also, internal defects cannot be inspected using virtual inspection. This resulted in the emergence of scanners to inspect welding process. These welding inspection scanners are used during the process of ship construction to determine the internal and external defects of the weld. The shipping industry highly relies on welding inspection scanners to avoid mishaps with ships. The growing adoption of these scanners will positively influence the growth of the market for industrial scanners.
During 2016, the Americas accounted for the maximum shares of the industrial scanners market since the region was the first adopter of automatic data capture (ADC) devices. The introduction of scanners in the warehousing and storage facilities will be a major factor fueling the market’s growth prospects in this region. The region houses the manufacturing facilities of prominent industrial scanner vendors such as Honeywell International, Datalogic, and GE Measurement & Control.
The industrial scanners market is highly fragmented due to the presence of numerous small and large-scale vendors. Several local and regional players are focusing on increasing their profits, which in turn, will strengthen the market’s competitive environment. Vendors are consolidating their market position by acquiring smaller players and are investing in the development of advanced technology. Additionally, they are also distinguishing their respective product and service offerings through clear and unique value propositions to survive and succeed in the 3D scanners market.
Key vendors in this market are -
Other prominent vendors in the market include DENSO, EUROTECH, GE Measurement & Control, JIREH Industries, Microscan Systems, and TouchStar Technologies.
The 2D scanners segment comprises of scanners that can inspect both 2D images and 1D codes. The segment has surpassed the laser scanning and linear scanning segment due to the increasing popularity of 2D scanning. It is highly used in warehouses, retail stores, or in the industries like automobiles or aviation. End-users highly prefer 2D scanners over laser scanners and linear scanners because they offer a wider range of functionalities. According to this industry research report, this segment will account for the largest market shares till 2021 since a large number of vendors are developing and distributing products in this category.
The barcode scanners segment accounted for the majority market share during 2016 due to the growing number of retail outlets, especially in APAC. Barcode scanners are highly adopted in the chemicals and transportation industries. The segment will continue to account for the major shares in the coming years as well since barcode scanners can help in the automation of different processes in various industries in the 3D scanners market.
