Machine Vision Global Market Report 2024

Machine vision systems are a collection of interconnected devices designed to automate and control production and manufacturing processes. These systems perform tasks such as go/no-go assessments and quality control by analyzing digital images and identifying static or moving objects.

The main types of products in machine vision include PC-based and smart camera-based systems. PC-based machine vision systems comprise a PC with an operating system, and it interfaces with connected cameras through a frame grabber or Ethernet card to import images. The images are then analyzed using software on the PC, which makes decisions and sends data such as pass/fail information to another system. The offerings in machine vision systems include hardware, software, and services, deployed in general machine vision systems and robotic cells. These systems find applications in quality assurance and inspection, positioning and guidance, measurement, identification, and predictive maintenance. They are implemented across various sectors, including automotive, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, electronics and semiconductors, pulp and paper, printing and labeling, food and beverage, postal and logistics, and others.

The machine vision market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $17.49 billion in 2023 to $19.01 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to the growing need for quality inspection and automation, rapid urbanization, the swift adoption of technology, and robust economic growth in emerging markets.

The machine vision market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $27.29 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing urbanization, the rise of smart cities, and technological advances. Key trends expected in the forecast period involve the adoption of vision-guided robotic systems, the use of smart cameras and image processing, the integration of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT), and the implementation of cyber-physical systems (CPS).

The anticipated rise in demand for artificial intelligence is set to propel the growth of the machine vision market. Artificial Intelligence (AI) involves computer systems simulating human intelligence processes. In the context of machine vision, AI significantly enhances capabilities, leading to improved accuracy, efficiency, and versatility. Notably, as of January 2022, the Government Digital Service in the UK projects a considerable increase in overall spending on AI technologies, estimating a rise from $20.25 billion in 2020 to $101.26 billion in 2040. Thus, the escalating demand for artificial intelligence is a driving force behind the growth of the machine vision market.

The increasing reliance on e-commerce is expected to contribute significantly to the growth of the machine vision market. E-commerce, or electronic commerce, involves online buying and selling of products and services. Machine vision integration in e-commerce brings automation, efficiency, enhanced security, and improved customer experiences, making vital contributions to the success and competitiveness of online businesses. For instance, according to the International Trade Administration in September 2022, consumer eCommerce constitutes 30% of the UK's overall retail industry, up from 20% in 2020, generating over $120 billion in annual sales. In 2021, 82% of people in the UK made at least one online purchase. Therefore, the increasing demand for e-commerce is a driving factor for the growth of the machine vision market.

A prominent trend gaining traction in the machine vision market is the utilization of vision-guided robotic systems. These systems combine robotic applications with the assistance of a machine vision system, where a robotic arm receives precise coordinates from a specialized camera that captures and analyzes images of objects. For instance, in February 2022, Basler AG, a Europe-based manufacturer of computer vision applications, introduced an industrial-grade stereo camera series to its product portfolio. These cameras utilize vision-guided robotic systems for object identification and bin picking, with various model variants available in monochrome and color versions.

Manufacturers in the machine vision industry are increasingly integrating Industry 4.0 into their products, providing higher productivity and enhanced quality. In May 2021, Vision Systems Design, a US-based manufacturer of machine vision, introduced iENSO, an IoT-embedded vision designed to offer comprehensive solutions for businesses aiming to incorporate vision data into their products to increase value and profits. This includes integrated hardware, image processing, Edge AI, secure cloud connectivity, and manufacturing-specific options.

In November 2021, Standard AI, a global leader in computer vision for retail, acquired ThirdEye Labs for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition expands the capabilities of the Standard AI platform, contributing to the advancement of the future of autonomous retail. ThirdEye Labs, a US-based computer vision company, is integral to this development.
