This image processing systems market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The image processing systems market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $15.33 billion in 2024 to $19.16 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the demand for high-quality image processing solutions, advancements in AI and ML in digital image processing, increasing demand for automation, expansion of the automotive industry, expansion of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies.
The image processing systems market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $46.2 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the demand for advanced image recognition and analytics technologies, increasing rate of mobile usage, rising adoption of machine learning and artificial intelligence, increasing need for quality control, and increasing adoption of cloud-based image processing services. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, integration of natural language processing (NLP), AI integrations, advancements in camera technologies, and hyperspectral imaging.
The growing demand for facial recognition technology is anticipated to drive the expansion of the image processing systems market. Facial recognition is an advanced system that matches a person's face from a digital image or video frame with entries in a database. This technology is increasingly sought after for its ability to identify and measure facial features, generating a unique biometric pattern linked to an individual's face. Image processing systems support facial recognition by analyzing and manipulating images to extract facial features, allowing for the identification and verification of individuals based on distinct facial characteristics. For example, in September 2023, data from Liberty Investigates, an independent UK-based investigative journalism unit, and the i Paper, a UK national newspaper, revealed that real-time facial recognition (RFR) searches conducted by police forces exceeded 85,000 last year-more than triple the amount in 2021. Early projections for the first four months of this year suggest the total could surpass 130,000, marking a 52% increase. Consequently, the rising demand for facial recognition technology is propelling growth in the image processing systems market.
Leading players in the image processing systems market are focusing on developing software leveraging channel attention mechanisms, such as holographic digital image processing software, to enhance image processing capabilities. Holographic digital image processing software incorporates algorithms that convert 3D data into holographic representations, ensuring precise rendering of complex shapes and textures for various applications. For instance, in March 2023, WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc., a China-based augmented reality solution provider, introduced holographic digital image processing software based on visual saliency and channel attention mechanisms. This software enhances image processing for intelligent holographic systems, finding applications across diverse fields including face recognition, AR/VR, healthcare, smart cities, industrial inspection, agriculture, robotics, and security. By leveraging attention mechanisms such as channel attention and visual saliency, the software optimizes image processing efficiency and accuracy.
