The machine vision market continues to grow
Thursday 13th July, 2017Recent research carried out by Grand View, indicates that they expect the global machine vision market to reach £14.85 billion by the year 2025.
The growth in the market will be driven by the continued increase in automation across, a wide range of industries, Asia is seen as a key force behind this expansion.
Asia and the Pacific region will account for 10.4% of annual growth. This can be attributed to a growing manufacturing base within the region and current investment in automated vision inspection systems.
North America has performed well this year, with sales of machine vision components up 10% year-on-year up to £461 million.
Automated inspection system sectors
The increased adoption of machine vision technology across sectors such as:
- Pharmaceutical – To protect integrity and safety, the medical industry was one of the first adopters of machine vision applications
- Automotive – Machine vision technology can benefit the whole of the automotive manufacturing process, from soft interiors to raw materials
- Aerospace – Automated vision systems help companies exceed the the rigours imposed by the industry
- Packaging – Automated inspection a better choice than human vision for inspection tasks that are fast, detailed, and repetitive
- Food and drink – Machine vision can provide quality control for the food and drink industry
PC-based machine vision systems have been identified as the technology that would account for the most growth, estimated to reach £8.10 billion by 2025.
