Morphology

volumetric + analysis

The noun phrase follows the productive pattern 'X analysis' meaning 'analysis of X'; given 'volumetric' = relating to volume/space and 'analysis' = systematic examination, a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to analysis of volumes (e.g., 3D/voxel data). This composition is literal and cross-linguistically predictable, so the overall meaning is transparently derivable from the parts.

Etymology

Volumetric analysis comes from the words volume and analysis, meaning literally 'analysis by measuring how much liquid is used'. Imagine pouring a standard solution into a sample until a colour change shows the reaction is finished and measuring the liquid you poured. That's why it means 'finding concentration by measuring solution volume'.
