3D sensors market in Asia-Pacific is expected to grow from US$ 2.32 Bn in 2018 to US$ 42.23 Bn by the year 2027. This represents a CAGR of 35.4% from the year 2019 to 2027.
The government of several nations worldwide are taking initiatives to support and promote the development and adoption of robotics in their respective countries. For instance, under its Industry Transformation Program, the government of Singapore has announced several measures to encourage companies and industries to innovate, automate, expand overseas, and obtain financing. The Singapore government, in 2015, introduced the "National Robotics Program" for the development and deployment of robotics in various sectors, including healthcare, manufacturing, construction, and logistics. Further, a new three-year Automation Support Package was introduced as part of its budget in 2016. Under this, the government enhanced the program by providing over US$ 450 Mn for the development and adoption of robotics. The growing government initiatives to promote robotics are expected to drive the growth of the 3D sensors market.
The manufacturing sector is expanding rapidly with the emerging investments from various regions in technological advancements. The manufacturers are anticipated to invest 13% more in several nonresidential buildings and machinery in such regions in the coming years. This expansion in the manufacturing sector is expected to embrace technological advancements to enhance the plant productivity, maintain process flow with varying customer demands, and gain a competitive edge over competitors. Also, the industry is presently found to be in the middle of a technological renaissance, which is changing the outlook, systems, and processes of modern factory setups. These technological revolutions have been encouraging the manufacturing industries to further invest in emerging technologies to enhance their productivity and production cycle. The growing popularity of automation across the industrial sector is expected to drive the growth of the 3D sensors market.
The 3D sensors market is fragmented with the presence of several market players. The companies operating in the 3D sensors market are focusing on offering flexible and efficient solutions to attract new customers and gain a strong market position.
The 3D sensors market by technology is segmented into stereo vision, time-of-flight, and structured light. The Structured Light Approach (SLA) is an active triangulation method for 3D range measurement and has high-resolution 3D data. A structured light 3D scanner allows project multiple light patterns concurrently in a large area. The machines utilize an LED light source that lasts longer, and these machines have a higher tolerance for scanning in a room that contains additional light sources. The SLA has an operating temperature lower than the white light machines. In SLI, a pattern of infrared light pattern is projected onto an object. ToF sensors measure the time of light traveling. Moreover, SLI uses the distortion of the infrared light pattern to calculate the distance to an object.
