(Frost & Sullivan: San Antonio) -- Rapid automation of automotive manufacturing plants is one of the key factors driving the demand for in-line metrology solutions in the automotive industry. Several powertrain and body-in-white manufacturers will replace traditional, manual measurement solutions—such as coordinate measuring machines (CMMs)—with in-line metrology solutions. Moving forward, as companies strive to gain a competitive edge by robotizing their manufacturing plants, end-to-end automated in-line metrology will be a key solution demanded by leading automotive manufacturers.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, “Analysis of the Dimensional Metrology Market in the Automotive Industry,” finds that the market earned revenue of $949.2 million in 2013 and estimates this will reach approximately $1,225.1 million in 2018.

The fluctuating global economy coupled with an increase in gas prices continues to have an adverse impact on the automotive industry worldwide. Emerging economies, in particular, have had volatile market conditions that have created concerns for companies in the automotive supply chain. This, in turn, has impacted investments toward dimensional metrology equipment in these geographical areas.
