KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The global machine vision market size was USD 7.85 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow from USD 8.39 billion in 2021 to USD 14.18 billion in 2028, at a CAGR of 7.8% during the 2021-2028 period. Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a huge decline of -5.5% in 2020. The global impact of COVID-19 has been unprecedented and staggering, with machine vision technology witnessing a negative demand shock across all regions amid the pandemic. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to this market’s demand and growth, returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.


Machine vision encompasses the ability to inspect, observe, & scrutinize work performance by installing one/ more than one video camera, analog to digital conversion, and digital signal consumer electronics. The data is then transferred to a computer to analyze the desired output. MV systems have two important aspects, i.e., resolution and sensitivity. Resolution is installed for separating between objects. On the other hand, sensitivity provides the ability to detect objects in dim lights/ dark environments.


MV systems particularly assist in administering the work environment. These systems offer features such as automatic inspection, robotic guidance, and process control in industrial applications. This enables observing difficult and unreliable situations difficult for the human eye to observe, detect & examine during the production activity.


COVID-19 Pandemic: Halted Manufacturing Activities to Hamper Market Growth


The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led to strict lockdown restrictions, causing disruptions in manufacturing and sales activity. The global outbreak of coronavirus has considerably impacted manufacturing industries, including the machine vision market growth. Global concerns and regulations force businesses to think aggressively in order to boost sales and revenue.


This industry has already exhibited contraction in the 2019 fourth quarter & 2020 first quarter. Furthermore, the companies expect a much stronger impact from the pandemic during the 3rd & 4th quarters of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. The manufacturer and distributor shared this opinion that the customers expect not to get the products due to stock and supply chain concerns. Furthermore, most businesses anticipate that revenue will not return to pre-crisis levels by the end of 2021, or even one year after the peak crisis.

Advancements in Industry 4.0 are Expanding Opportunities across Manufacturing Sector


Generally, industries are growing, and they are more focused on developing themselves in advanced technology. Innovations like Industry 4.0, or “The Industrial Internet of Things” are emerging and contributing towards transforming the manufacturing industries. Likewise, the Industrial Internet of Things exhibits substantial growth in productivity, refining product quality, reducing waste, enhancing manufacturing flexibility, decreasing operational costs, and other benefits on the factory floor.


This innovation has boosted the use of Cyber-Physical System (CPS), components like sensors accumulate the data for producers so that it helps them identify and trace parts and subassemblies. Furthermore, this process of data collection enables devices to exchange information and control and interact independently. As data analytics capabilities are progressing in the market, the huge volume of data analyzed through vision equipment will be utilized.


This will help discover and indicate the defective products and enable fast & effective intervention in the industry 4.0 factory, thus making machine vision a crucial part of automation for manufacture & production industries.


DRIVING FACTORS


Increasing Demand in Vision Enabled Robotics Systems to Boost Market Demand


Lately, this market has witnessed a significant change with respect to automation & robotics systems. Robotics & smart manufacturing is making machine vision technology a necessary tool for industrial automation. Likewise, there has been major growth in the use of industrial robots in the automotive & consumer electronic sectors. This has led to the rise in requirement for the integrated MV systems with vision-guided robot controllers. This vision system has augmented the efficiency of robots by enabling them to see & respond.


Furthermore, the vision enabled feature of this system is an aid in the pharmaceutical industry also, as it diligently captures the whole process & records data for careful inspection. For instance, a major player like Cognex, headquartered in Massachusetts, U.S, is already making their presence in this industry by manufacturing devices & components enabled with advanced robotics & automation, making them usable in the manufacturing process.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Daily Required Maintenance and Lack of Skilled Professionals to Hamper Growth


Machine vision system empowers a rapid, definitive & specific control with effective production & increased delivery reliability. To continue this reliability, these machines & devices often need careful attention & daily maintenance as the functionality of these systems' functionality relies on their aftercare. These machines are advanced & well equipped with automation; therefore, the investment involved in the maintenance is quite high. These costs include installation costs, purchasing costs.


Furthermore, the death of skilled professionals is also a restraining factor in this market. There is a lack of professionals in the market, therefore training is provided to employees & operators. Likewise, it is often difficult to inspect multiple products on the same smart camera. Hence there is a necessity for capable workers. A specialized & specific knowledge of equipment is required for the execution of an MV system. However, this restraint is projected to get controlled in the forecast period, owing to the rise in the penetration in different industries.


SEGMENTATION


By Type Analysis:


2-D Vision System Segment to Hold Dominant Market Share


Based on type, the market is divided into 1-D vision system, 2-D vision system, and 3-D vision system.


The 2-D vision system segment is slated to dominate the market share during the projected period. This is due to its use in a digital camera that captures images of an object. 2D vision systems, a 2-dimensional map with (X, Y) coordinate, the reflected image light is captured and processed. Traditionally these 2-D systems were used for label orientation, printing verification, and barcode reading.


3D vision systems usually include multiple camera system. This enables capturing the true and exact orientation of the product and its dimension for smooth operation. Hence, the segment is expected to exhibit strong growth in the coming years. These systems involve multiple cameras fixed at different locations for the objective position of the product in 3-D space. Furthermore, 1D vision systems usually classify defects on products manufactured in a cycle/ continuous process, for instance, metals, paper and plastics, along with other sheet or rolled products.
