Travel eSIM Users to Grow 440 Percent Over the Next 5 Years
According to a new study from Juniper Research, the global number of travel eSIM users will grow from 40 million in 2024 to over 215 million by 2028.
Worldwide shipments of 3D scanners will be more than 635 million units in 2023 with a CAGR of 21.2% over the 2019-2023 forecast period, according to IDC. The total value of these shipments will be nearly $3.0 billion in 2023 with a five-year CAGR of 15.8%.
One of the most important factors contributing to this growth is the continued migration of professional-level features into more affordable scanners. This has enabled entry-level products to become more suitable for some professional uses and brought scanners in the middle price tier ($5,000-$50,000) closer to industrial-level capability.
Greater affordability has helped 3D scanners to grow in popularity for traditional use cases, such as part inspection and surveying, and make inroads to new use cases, such as denture creation and heritage conservation work. Other factors contributing to overall market growth include increased ease of use due to improved software and more efficient processes as well as the utilization of 3D scanners as part of smart manufacturing initiatives.
"As the market has expanded, we continue to see a rapidly growing number of applications of 3D scanning technology. More accuracy, a greater number of features, and more efficient processing and workflows are increasing customer interest and experimentation by users," said Max Pepper, research analyst, Imaging, Printing, Document Solutions.
Stationary scanners accounted for nearly two thirds of all 3D scanner shipments in 2019 and will experience strong growth (26.5% CAGR) throughout the forecast. By 2023, IDC expects stationary scanners will represent three quarters of total market shipments. Higher-priced stationary 3D scanners will also hold a significant share (more than 85%) of overall market value throughout the forecast. Handheld 3D scanners growth will be tempered toward the end of the forecast period as more smartphone models become available with built-in 3D scanners, which will impact growth in the <$5000 segment.
