New York, Sept. 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Global Laser Tracker Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Offering, By Application, By Industry, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 – 2028" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06322155/?utm_source=GNW
Instead of physical control devices and traditional hand tools, laser trackers are frequently used to calculate objects.
An object that can be shifted anywhere within the base unit’s line of sight can be measured quickly and precisely by a laser tracker by tracking a laser beam and calculating 3D coordinates. The rising demand for three-dimensional measurement solutions across a variety of industries, including aerospace and defense, automotive, and power generation, as well as the increasing use of laser trackers for the assembly of large components are some of the major and crucial factors that have contributed to these advancements in distance measurement technology and processing speed.
In addition, the market for laser trackers is predicted to expand in the above-mentioned projected timeframe due to the rising number of automotive and aviation manufacturers as well as the rising demand for research & development activities in 3D measurement techniques.
A high-definition camera or cameras, in the case of the Radian Pro is mounted on the tracker and it faces the same way as the laser beam. The laser trackers are used to measure aspheric surfaces and to assemble optical systems for the first time. As long as all of the degrees of freedom for the optics can be transferred to SMRs, the laser tracker can be utilized directly to measure the position of optical elements in a system.
Covid-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 outbreak has had an impact on the economies and industries of many different nations. One of the major sectors affected by this outbreak is the automotive sector, which is currently dealing with supply chain disruptions, technology event cancellations, and office closures. As a result of this, the laser tracker market has also been negatively affected due to the reduced demand for laser trackers from the automotive industry. Due to factory closures, supply chain challenges, and the general market collapse brought on by COVID-19, the market is also being negatively impacted. As the production of laser trackers has been hampered due to the lack of resources.
Market Growth Factors
High precision, portability, & accuracy of laser trackers
The portability of laser trackers is extremely high; they have an internal battery that enables extreme precision over very long distances and can operate in the most difficult conditions while retaining the highest level of accuracy. Modern lasers are portable and, when used within a practical measurement range, have remarkably high accuracy. Additionally, modern systems are Wi-Fi enabled, allowing for even more seamless communication between sensors to speed up data transfer. The most precise portable tool for large dimensional metrology is the laser tracker.

Because laser tracking providers can gather a significant amount of data in a brief amount of time, which results in decreased inspection time, highly accurate measurements, & process stability, manufacturing companies are outsourcing their measurement and inspection tasks to them. These elements would fuel the growth of the segment.
Application Outlook
On the basis of application, the laser tracker market is fragmented into quality control & inspection, alignment, reverse engineering, and calibration. In 2021, the alignment segment covered a substantial revenue share in the laser tracker market. Engineering, manufacturing, and quality control professionals can measure & inspect large parts, machinery, and other large objects on-site by the use of laser trackers while they are being used, or wherever it is most practical and economical to do so. This benefit of laser tracker is expected to support the market growth in this segment.
Industry Outlook
By industry, the laser treatment market is divided into automotive, aerospace & defense, energy & power, general manufacturing, architecture & Construction, transportation and others. The automotive segment led the laser tracker market with the highest revenue share in the laser tracker market in 2021. The expansion of the automotive industry across a variety of applications, including reverse engineering, alignment, and quality control & inspection, is made possible by businesses’ growing interest in studying emerging markets. Additionally, a number of automakers have begun to invest in cutting-edge technologies like laser trackers to upgrade contemporary cars with cutting-edge features, boost productivity, and meet the expanding demand for automobiles.
Regional Outlook
Region wise, the laser treatment market is analyzed across the North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and LAMEA. In 2021, the North America region witnessed the largest revenue share in the laser tracker market. This is because of the high availability of resources in the region. Laser trackers have enormous growth potential in these industries for applications like reverse engineering, quality control, inspection, calibration, and alignment due to the explosive growth of the electric vehicle demand and the production of solar modules. All these factors are supporting regional market growth.
