What Is The Crucial Factor Driving The Global Image Measuring Instrument Market?
The boost in the image measuring instrument market is likely spurred by a surge in automation within the manufacturing field. Automation in this context refers to the implementation of machines and technology to carry out production duties with limited human interference. It ensures heightened production efficiency, as machines are able to execute tasks with greater speed and precision than their human counterparts. By offering accurate, non-contact measurement and inspection, image measuring instruments contribute significantly to this rise in automation. They enable machines to automatically cross-check dimensions, identify faults, and uphold quality standards without human intervention. Cementing this point, the International Federation of Robotics, a non-profit organization based in Germany, reported in April 2024 that there was a substantial uptick in automation investment by US manufacturing firms. Industrial robot installations had seen a 12% increase, reaching a total of 44,303 units in 2023. Thus, this growing automation trend within the manufacturing sector is fueling the expansion of the image measuring instrument market.
