Laser Tracker Market by Application (Quality Control & Inspection, Alignment, Reverse Engineering, and Calibration), Industry (Automotive, Aerospace & Defense, General Manufacturing, Energy & Power, Transportation) and Region - Global Forecast to 2027

The laser tracker market is estimated to grow from USD 636 million in 2022 to reach

USD 866 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2022 to 2027. The growth of the laser tracker market can be attributed to greater reliance of manufacturing firms on 3D data to assess product quality and performance.

“The market for laser tracker hardware is expected to hold largest share from 2022 to 2027”

The increasing adoption of laser trackers in the aerospace & defense, automotive, architecture and construction, energy & power industries drive the growth of the hardware segment of the laser tracker market. Companies such as Hexagon, FARO, and, API are offering a variety of laser trackers for these industries. Hexagon launched the Leica Absolute Tracker AT500 that automatically re-establishes interrupted lines of sight within a wide field of view without any user interaction. It offers reflector measurement up to 160 meters from the tracker to simplified 6DoF probing functionality.

“Laser tracker market for general manufacturing expected to grow at the second highest CAGR during the forecast period”

Laser trackers integrate data into production processes, enabling smarter decision-making, better quality control, increased throughput or production rate, and reduced cycle times, thereby completely supporting the businesses involved in general manufacturing and production of large-scale precision machining tools. VMT, On-Trak Photonics, Hubbs Machine & Manufacturing, API, and Hexagon AB are major companies offering laser tracking solutions for the manufacturing industry. In April 2022, Hexagon AB launched a new wireless laser tracker automation system, especially designed for large-scale inspection tasks performed by manufacturing companies.
