The global 3D imaging market was valued at USD 25.9 billion in 2021 and it is predicted to surpass around USD 115.7 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 18.09% from 2022 to 2030.
Report Highlights
The 3D imaging technology in the media and entertainment sector has been gaining momentum as the demand for 3D video games and theatrical films have risen tremendously over the years, acting as one of the key drivers in the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the 3D imaging market. Lockdowns were implemented due to the pandemic that led to a temporary prohibition on import and export and manufacturing across multiple industries. The closure of manufacturing plants resulted in a significant loss of business and revenue for the regions under lockdown. The disruption in global supply chains negatively impacted the sales of products, delivery schedules, and manufacturing in the global market, which led to a notable drop in the sales of 3D imaging.
Mergers & acquisitions, agreements, and expansions are the key strategies adopted by the companies over the past years. For instance, in August 2021, FARO Technologies announced the acquisition of ATS AB, a Swedish-based company in 3D digital twin solution technology. The agreement will include the integration of ATS patented Traceable 3D system and software, which allows highly precise and reproducible 3D scans into the FARO Webshare Cloud system.

Component Insights
The hardware segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 45.05% in 2021 and is expected to continue to dominate the market over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increasing demand for 3D imaging devices such as X-ray devices, ultrasound systems, CT, and MRI in the healthcare sector. In addition, the growing gaming and entertainment industry has fueled the demand for 3D imaging technology as the viewers can witness the 3D experience with their own eyes because of these technologies. In terms of components, the market has been segmented into software, hardware, and services.
The software segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 19.94% over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the use of 3D imaging software in the healthcare, automotive, and manufacturing industry. In addition, its growing popularity in other industries such as media and entertainment, architecture and construction, and archaeological studies is fueling the segment growth.
Deployment Insights
The on-premise segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 75.19% in 2021 and is expected to retain its position in the market over the forecast period. This can be attributed to a one-time upfront license purchase, an internal network that can be accessed anytime, and high security as data is stored locally.
The cloud segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 19.84% over the forecast period. The use of cloud-based 3D imaging systems is growing owing to their advantages such as easy and effective management, image data maintenance, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, agility, and scalability.
Organization Insights
The large enterprise segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 55.46% in 2021 and is expected to continue to dominate the market over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increasing usage of 3D imaging hardware and solutions in large enterprises to manufacture improved products and give a better customer experience. Moreover, the dominance of this segment in the market is primarily accredited to the growing investments by large organizations.
The small and medium segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 19.22% over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increasing adoption of 3D imaging technologies by small and medium organizations to compete with other market players.
End-use Insights
The healthcare and life sciences segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 55.31% in 2021 and is expected to continue to dominate the market over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increasing adoption and growing need for 3D medical imaging technology in the healthcare sector to determine and diagnose the disease in the body. In terms of end-use, the market has been segmented into automotive and transportation, healthcare and life science, architecture and construction, manufacturing, media and entertainment, and security and surveillance.
Due to sedentary lifestyles, the increasing frequency of chronic diseases worldwide, and a considerable growth in the aging population, there's been an increase in the occurrence of lifestyle diseases and age-related illnesses. As a result, the 3D imaging devices demand has increased.
The automotive and transportation segment is anticipated to register a CAGR of 17.43% over the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the advanced features offered by 3D imaging, an increase in the number of cars, increased usage of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and the growing trend of driverless vehicles are all driving the market for automotive 3D imaging. This technology enables protection, parking surveillance, anti-theft measures, healthcare, social media, forensics, and mobile commerce.
Regional Insights
North America accounted for the largest revenue share of over 35.68% in 2021 and is anticipated to retain its position over the forecast period. Factors such as the presence of major market vendors and the high adoption of advanced technologies are fueling the market growth in the region.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at the highest CAGR of 20.97% over the forecast period. The growth of the regional market is mainly attributed to the growth in the healthcare, automation, media and entertainment, and the manufacturing sector. With the potential growth in the sectors, there have been increasing investments from Asia Pacific nations such as Japan, India, and China. The growing technological awareness and adoption in the region are also expected to fuel the market growth across the region over the forecast period.
