The optical measuring machines market size was valued US$ 2.85 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 4.62 billion by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 7.3% from 2025 to 2031.

The optical measuring machines market is segmented into five major regions-North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South and Central America. Brazil, Argentina, and Chile are among the major nations contributing to the Optical Measuring Machines market in South and Central America. The automotive and aerospace sectors in South and Central America are experiencing a steady expansion and becoming significant contributors to the region's economic diversification and industrial growth. Countries such as Brazil and Argentina have emerged as key manufacturing hubs, with strong domestic demand and growing exports fueling production. Brazil is one of the top vehicle manufacturers in the southern hemisphere. On the other hand, Mexico is a critical link in the global aerospace supply chain, supplying components to North American and European OEMs. For instance, Brazil's automotive sector delivered a remarkable performance in 2024, achieving the fastest growth rate among the world's top ten automotive markets, according to Brasil 247, a partner of TV BRICS. Vehicle sales spurred by 15% year-over-year, reaching 2.6 million units across passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks, and buses. The industry also observed record-breaking investments of US$ 29.63 billion, with US$ 21.40 billion invested by vehicle manufacturers and an additional US$ 8.23 billion coming from the auto parts sector. This industrial growth has led to heightened expectations for quality assurance, especially in the production of highly complex and safety-critical components such as engine parts, structural frames, and electronic systems.

Optical measuring machines are increasingly indispensable in these sectors due to their ability to deliver high-speed, noncontact, and ultra-precise measurements. They are vital tools for dimensional verification, surface inspection, and geometric tolerance analysis, ensuring that every component meets stringent international standards before being assembled or exported. Additionally, the growing sophistication of automotive and aerospace designs, with lightweight materials and miniaturized parts, has made traditional contact-based measurement systems less viable. Optical metrology technologies such as laser scanning, white light interferometry, and 3D vision systems offer the flexibility and accuracy required to handle complex geometries and materials without compromising production efficiency.
