Driven by the growing demand for 3D imaging across machine vision applications related to industrial automation, the global 3D imaging market is poised to exhibit a robust CAGR of 26.8% between 2015 and 2021.In its report, titled “3D Imaging Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 - 2021”, Transparency Market Research pegs the overall value of the global 3D imaging market at US$3.5 bn in 2014. By 2021, the market is expected to reach an estimated valuation of US$17.9 bn.

3D imaging refers to the method of using a 2D surface to render three-dimensional images on it, by creating an optical illusion of depth. This helps enhance the 360-degree viewing experience of any image. The advent of advanced technologies such as 3D displays and 3D image, which deliver high-resolution images, has subsequently fuelled the adoption rate 3D imaging across industries.

Industrial sectors as diverse as media and entertainment, advertising, architecture and engineering, construction, and healthcare have incorporated a plethora of 3D visualization technologies into their design, development, and production process. The impressively expanding library of 3D modeling tools and 3D content has made design more affordable and has significantly boosted the product-to-market process.
