Roughness can be defined as a component of surface texture. The rough surface has a higher friction coefficient than smooth surfaces. Roughness can be measured by an instrument called a profilometer. The increasing requirement for improving product quality and manufacturing processes is likely to drive the global surface roughness measurement market. Moreover, increasing expenditure on research and development activities is further fueling the market demand. However, lack of skilled workforce to operate instruments for measuring roughness could hamper the market value.

The major policies implemented by these leading companies in the market are recent developments, new Component launches, partnerships, mergers & acquisitions. These companies are focusing more on investment in evolutions, collaborations, and expansions to increase their market share.

For instance, Carl Zeiss acquired around 60% shares of Steinbichler Optotechnik GmbH and Neubeuern (Bravaria) that helped the company to aim at the optical 3D digitization sector. This company is focusing on growing organically by spending on Component launches, and acquisitions inorganically.
