Moreover, the market will expand as a result of the adoption of technology in the packaging, pharmaceutical, and consumer products industries for quality assurance and inspection applications.

Insight by End-Use Industry

The market is divided into industrial and non-industrial categories, based on end-use industries. Automobile, electronics, semiconductor, healthcare, food & beverage, packaging, textiles, and other industries are included in the industrial category. Biometrics, banking & postal, security & surveillance, transportation, medical imaging & lab automation, traffic management & road safety, leisure & entertainment, and the environment are all included in the non-industrial area.

In the industrial section, the automobile category dominates the market. Automakers are putting money into vision systems to raise the quality aspect. Automobile manufacturers and component suppliers employ the technology for a variety of tasks, including adhesive dispensing, material handling, error-proofing, surface inspection, robotic guidance, and traceability. Additionally, as ADAS systems become more prevalent in automobiles, other components are needed, including camera-led illumination, Lidar, and V2X, which will be crucial to automation and intelligence.

Whereas, the electronics sector is expected to expand significantly between 2022 and 2030. As the sector uses smart cameras and image processing to do measurements and inspections, machine vision technology is adopted in numerous industrial activities and replaces manual inspection.

Moreover, over the course of the projected period, the food and beverage industry is projected to expand quickly. This is because the packaging and bottling processes in the food and beverage industry make extensive use of machine vision systems.
