Coordinate Measuring Machine Market Outlook - 2026
The global coordinate measuring machine market size was valued at $2.74 billion in 2018, and is projected to reach $5.34 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 8.3%. Coordinate measuring machines are flexible and universal dimensional measuring devices with the capability of integration into a common information model information network. These measuring machines are a form of metrological instrument for high precision measuring capabilities. In CMM market, the coordinate measuring machine can be operated and controlled manually or through computers. CMM measures the shape of the objects by recognizing the discrete points on the surface of the object with a probe. The various types of probes that are used in coordinate measuring machine are laser, optical, mechanical, and others.
In the CMM market, coordinate measuring machines are used to test components or assembly against the design fixed in manufacturing and assembly process. The three-dimensional measurement consisting of x, y, and z axes points are precisely recorded and analyzed via regression algorithm for different types of construction or design of an equipment. The day-to-day advancement of industries requires highly precise and accurate measurement, which incurs huge cost and time. The design ranging from a small equipment to large, needs accuracy. The various activities such as measurement of objects for testing, design, assessment, or reverse engineering, and others can be easily performed using these devices in the CMM market.

By Product Type
Portable segment is expected to secure leading position during forecast period.
Some major factors that impact the coordinate measuring machine market growth are:
Rise in adoption of CAD/CAM and international quality standards
The application of CAD in the coordinate measuring machine uses the software developed by the computer to carry out advanced measurement test. Further, the enhanced application of CAD in the coordinate measurement methods uses CAD model in software with the absence of actual artifacts, CAD is also used in reverse engineering. Thus, the adoption of CAD in various designing processes boost the Coordinate measuring machine market share.
Shortage of skilled precision machine operators
The lack in the number of heavy machine operators diverts the industries toward the use of autonomous systems. Therefore, this generates the need of coordinate measuring machines in the industrial design & manufacturing process that provide high precision with automated functions, which is further expected to drive the coordinate measuring machine market.
Lack of a universal system that can be applied across different sectors
There are hundreds of different kinds of coordinate measuring machine, dozens of manufacturers, and various software programs to run the machines. This indulges a lack of standardization in the hardware and software of the system. The unavailability of a universal system that lacks compatibility for global solution and application hampers the market growth.
By Region
Asia Pacific region would exhibit the highest CAGR of 20.50% during 2019-2026
