This research analyzes the global trends in the 3D optical profilometer market. The global 3D optical profilometer market, a nascent market, was witnessing steady growth, with emphasis on quality control, closed-loop manufacturing, and miniaturization driving the demand across vertical markets. The onset of COVID-19 has halted production globally and is resulting in organizations holding on to their liquidity and being careful in their capital expenditures. Globally, many plants across automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, and industrial manufacturing have been closed, resulting in a significant drop in demand. Despite countries beginning to relax restrictions, it is unlikely for demand to return to pre-COVID-19 levels during the course of 2020 and 2021. Hence, the demand for 3D optical profilometers is expected to decline in 2020. Once industries return close to previous plant utilization levels, the demand will also increase. That said, an industry that is driving the demand during this pandemic is the semiconductor industry.

The 3D profilometer market has been segmented by technique type, vertical, and regional markets. The study covers market share analysis of top competitors. The study also mentions the prominent channel of distribution used in this market.

Annual estimates and forecasts are provided for 2017 to 2025. The geographical scope of the study includes North America, Europe (EU), Asia-Pacific (APAC), and Rest-of-the-World (ROW).
