Technological Advancements in North America Fuel Global Market Expansion

For businesses offering machine vision solutions, North America is a big market. Since factory automation was used early and there are many market vendors with local roots, the regional market is anticipated to expand significantly throughout the forecast period.

Additional and varied inventions are being discovered on the market. For instance, the Canadian company iENSO introduced their Ambarella-based platform ecosystem for embedded vision applications in May 2021. AI vision processors for the Edge are offered by Ambarella Inc.

Considering that North America has a competitive advantage over other regions in the industrial machine vision market, the USA is expected to exhibit the strongest growth. This is because the nation is home to several foreign players. Additionally, the USA is a pioneer in R&D projects for the creation of effective engineering procedures.

The Smart Embedded Vision Initiative was also unveiled by Microchip Technology Corporation. Accelerating machine vision development for use in industrial, medical devices, automotive, and aerospace applications is the goal of this effort. Throughout the forecast period, it is anticipated that such advancements by hardware and software providers would increase industrial machine vision market demand.

Existing Automotive Sectors Still Devour Opportunities

Nowadays, the application of industrial robots is growing for automation in the automotive and electronic sectors. For example, the 2020 Industrial Robots report from New World Robotics estimated that there are about 2.7 million industrial robots in use in factories worldwide.

Among the major sectors for the implementation of robots are the automotive and consumer electronics industries. In the automotive business, there are approximately 1287 robots for every 10,000 workers, according to data for the robotics industry for 2021.

A growing trend in recent years has been vision-guided robots. It has caused the machine vision system in robots to be used more frequently, especially in the automotive sector. Improved accuracy, comprehension, and direction are provided by the integration of robots with the machine vision system. Consequently, the global machine vision market is expanding due to the increasing deployment of industrial robots.

Automation is being implemented by manufacturing companies to enhance daily operations amid the pandemic, when human interaction was scarce, machine vision aided in maintaining industrial flow. Since it adds product safety to the present digital infrastructure, the pharmaceutical sector was one of the first to adopt this technology.

Manufacturers can reach new milestones in producing goods with minimal defects because of machine vision systems' high processing speed. The increased production of hybrid and electric vehicles is also anticipated to offer significant chances for the industrial machine vision market to expand over the forecast period.

The industrial machine vision system is a system that works by generating images through a camera that are automatically analysed by software. Industrial machine vision systems perform quality tests, control processes, guide machines, read codes, identify components, and deliver valuable data for optimizing production.

The increasing demand for quality inspection and automation in different industrial verticals, the need for vision-guided robotic systems across the automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical, and packaging segments are the major factors that are expected to augment the growth of the Industrial Machine Vision Market over the analysis period.

Other major factors like the surge in demand for application-oriented machine vision systems are likely to boost the market growth during the forecast period.

On the flip side, the complex integration of industrial machine vision systems is further projected to impede the growth of the rib fracture treatment market in the timeline period.
