Global Coordinate Measuring Machine Market Expected to Reach $5.34 Billion by 2026

A new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, " Coordinate Measuring Machine Market by Offering, Product Type, Application, and End User: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2019-2026," projects that the global coordinate measuring machines market size is estimated to reach $5.34 billion by 2026. In 2018, Asia-Pacific dominated the market, contributing around 50% share of the overall revenue, followed by North America. A coordinate measuring machinery is used for measuring the geometrical characteristics of a physical object. These can be manually controlled or can be controlled by computer programming and instructions.

Coordinate measuring machine are a form of metrological instrument for high precision measuring capabilities. 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 CMM market, coordinate measuring machines are used to test components or assembly against the design fixed in manufacturing and assembly process. The application of CAD in the coordinate measuring machine uses the software developed by the computer to carry out advanced measurement test. Nano precision configuration of CMM has a strong function of CAD software which import the CAD model to be measured. The advancement of industrial application requires highly precise and accurate measurement that uses CMM. 3D model is a great tool that is adopted by designers and manufacturers for creating 3D designs and models. This saves capital of industrialists and creates a physical model for testing. The physical model created is tested by the coordinate measuring machines that are programmed for autonomous operations, which drives the CMM market.

According to coordinate measuring machine market, the inspection segment accounted for a significant share of the overall Coordinate measuring machines market in 2018. This is attributed to increase in demand for physical measurement of products and equipment in various industrial applications.
