The global 3D imaging market size is expected to reach USD 115.98 billion by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 18.5% from 2025 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. 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.
