GALVANOMETER SCANNER MARKET OVERVIEW

The global galvanometer scanner market size was valued at USD 0.45 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 0.85 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.24% during the forecast period. Asia Pacific is dominating the galvanometer scanner market share in 2025.

Electro-optical galvanometer scanners use rotatable low-inertia mirrors to position laser beams accurately and repeatably. A galvanometer is a type of motor, hence the name. A galvanometer scanner can be found wherever laser beams are steered, including materials processing, laser light shows, manufacturing, packaging, cutting, marking, and welding. Over the past year, there have been some significant developments in the market. Galvanometers are named after the motor type they use. Galvanometer motors are DC motors with limited rotation. By providing a position signal proportional to the rotation of the motor shaft, an internal position detector enables closed loop servo control of the motor. For temperature stabilization, galvanometer scanners are usually equipped with heaters and temperature sensors. Even under fluctuating ambient conditions, the device's temperature remains constant, further enhancing long-term stability.

The various types and applications of galvanometer scanners are the major factors that leads to the growth of the market. Apart from this, certain limitations of these devices restrain the market growth.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Halt on Machinery and Equipmemt to Hamper Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a considerable impact on the market for galvanometer scanners. In addition to this market, COVID-19 also had a detrimental impact on a number of others. Due to the abrupt COVID-19 pandemic, there is a transient shift in demand in the global market for galvanometer scanners. Numerous nations implemented lockdowns. The unexpected outbreak caused difficulties in all types of businesses. Numerous crucial items had to be created and developed for specific protection as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This equipment's laser processing technique contributes in the creation of numerous medicinal items. Thus, galvanometer scanners were created in the medical industry to create protective devices because to the large range of anthropometric data that humans possess.

These scanners were used to create the COVID-19 pandemic PPE, which included gloves, clothes, masks, face shields, and other safety gear. Galvanometer scanners and laser processing were employed by professionals to treat COVID-19 patients more safely and efficiently during this pandemic. It produced pharmaceutical ingredients in compliance with the relevant specifications. This technology allows for the precise measurement of the patient's damaged skin surface area or a particular area. They were able to swiftly and without personal contact acquire an accurate 3D image with precise measurements by using technology.

LATEST TRENDS

Benefits of Using Single Axis Galvanometer Scanners to Drive Market Growth

Designed for OEM or custom applications, these galvanometer mirror-positioning systems are high-speed scanning galvanometers. There are models available for beam diameters up to 45 mm. The systems consist of a single-axis galvo motor with mirror and a corresponding driver card. For applications such as step-and-hold positioning, vector positioning (e.g., laser marking), or raster positioning (printing or scanning laser microscopy), these systems are ideal. For all applications, servos are optimized for high-speed, precise positioning.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increase in Urbanization to Drive the Market

Urbanization is one of the most significant development objectives globally. In metropolitan regions, 55% of the world's population resides, according to the UN. It is anticipated that the population will gradually move from rural to urban areas. By 2050, 68% of the population is anticipated to reside in urban regions. Galvanometer scanners have been used extensively in the infrastructure and design sectors for many years. Galvanometer scanners could be used to acquire an in-depth map of a location without having to make several trips there. Galvanometer scanner sales are anticipated to rise as a result.

Expansion of Industries to Drive the Market

As a result of new generations of scanners with enhanced performance, higher accuracy, and greater flexibility, the global market share for galvanometer scanners is growing. There is a paradigm shift toward a connected world and a growing demand for miniaturization. This, however, drives manufacturers to develop smarter galvanometer scanner solutions and make more strides in the industry. During this time, galvanometer scanners are expected to undergo research and development to reduce prices and improve functionality.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Galvanometer Scanner limitations to Restrain the Market

Galvanometer scanners are optical instruments, hence they are unable to measure surfaces that are not within their range of view. As a result, hidden from view internal or concealed geometry cannot be measured by scanners. The galvanometer scanner uses the laser's light to gather data; if ambient light gets in, it can make the scan less accurate. Industrial galvanometer scanners have a high price tag. Setup and training costs are not covered.
