Analysis of Market Size & Trends

The Global Surface Vision and Inspection Market size is expected to reach $19.5 billion by 2025, rising at a market growth of 10.9% CAGR during the forecast period. Surface vision and inspection technologies can be used for the testing and simulation of ground or machined defects (e.g. cracks, pitting, and material quality changes). Inspecting items for a scratch, crack, wearing or inspecting surfaces for proper finishing, roughness and texture are common functions of surface quality inspection. The need for surface vision and inspection is guided by a growth in the need for quality inspection across all industry verticals. Quality plays a crucial role in this dynamic environment.

Global Surface Vision and Inspection Market Size

Maintaining quality and customer relationships is an essential aspect that facilitates growth. Ensuring the level of quality, particularly in the longer term, is a tough challenge. Therefore, the rules and regulations have also been more stringent. Due to this, quality control has become a very important aspect for manufacturers. As a result, error prevention and accurate detection of defects along with tolerance monitoring of surface vision and inspection systems are commonly adopted. Many surface vision and inspection devices also provide component assessment, and some also provide customer input on their product consistency and process capability.

Surface Vision and Inspection Market Share

Market players have provided numerous solutions with increased productivity and reduced prices to allow greater market presence. Technological solutions like 3D vision using laser triangulation are expected to deliver substantial opportunities for market growth due to increasing applications in automotive, solar cells, semiconductor, and printing. It is cost effective because it does not require multiple cameras that are found with most other solutions. In addition, the technology has been used in electric printing to analyze patterns on flex circuits and RFID circuitry. This enables a substantial reduction in production costs with high precision and increased speed and further increases efficiency.
