  Rising demand for industrial metrology solutions is driving the market growth

  
  

The industrial metrology market is anticipated to be driven by rising demand for industrial metrology solutions in the food inspection industry, the defense industry, and for big projects like smart cities. The market for industrial metrology is being driven primarily by rising aerospace solution demand, rising quality metrology solution availability, and rising metrology awareness. The market is anticipated to be driven by rising demand for metrology solutions in both the automotive industry and general manufacturing. As automated facilities quickly take over the manufacturing of automobiles, the automotive industry is predicted to undergo a significant change in the near future. A rise in the need for electric vehicles and the requirement for highly dependable and high-quality procedures are anticipated to drive the market. Additionally, a rise in automation is anticipated in the manufacturing sector's demand for industrial metrology during the projection period.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming popular on the road, and almost all auto manufacturers have announced intentions for EVs to eventually dominate their product lineup. As the switch from internal combustion (IC) to electric proceeds, the number of drivetrain parts will substantially decline. And the remaining components, which are present in all types of vehicles, will have a greater impact on the performance and durability of the vehicle. Industrial metrology solutions are mostly used in electric car batteries, fuel cell systems, power electronics, and electric motors. In 2021, China had a nearly threefold increase in electric car sales, reaching 3.3 million units, or about half of the global total. Both in the United States (more than tripling to 6,30,000) and Europe (by 65% to 2.3 million), sales climbed dramatically. Thus, the market for industrial metrology products is driven by the growth in EVS use.

The aerospace and defense industry is predicted to be the main driver of the Industrial Metrology Market because of the rising geopolitical tensions between various nations and the consequent rise in demand for precise defense applications, both mechanical and electronic. Additionally, the expansion of conflicts involving crucial missions necessitates stringent traceability and calibration with accuracy in military vehicles and aircraft. Additionally, the development of high-tech technologies, big data, and virtual drones, aerospace, and defense vehicles is assisting in the market's expansion. Thus, driving the Industrial Metrology market revenue.
