Automated Optical Inspection Market Segmentation:

Industry Segment Analysis

The automotive segment is anticipated to hold 28% share of the global automated optical inspection market during the forecast period. The segment’s growth is being driven by an increase in demand for robust and high-performing electronic components that improve vehicle safety. Furthermore, the automotive industry now needs more high-end electronics components due to the introduction of technologies like advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and anti-lock braking systems (ABS), as well as autonomous and electric vehicle technology. Because there are several large automakers in Germany, France, and Japan, these three nations are the front-runners when it comes to the adoption of AOI systems in the automotive industry. Approximately 85 million automobiles were produced globally in 2022. This amounts to a rise of almost six percent when compared to the prior year. In 2022, the top three countries producing cars and commercial vehicles were China, Japan, and Germany.

Technology Segment Analysis

The inline AOI system segment in the automated optical inspection market is expected to hold the largest revenue share of about 55% during the forecast period. This is explained by the systems' rapid inspection of a large number of manufactured printed circuit boards. Every step of the production process can benefit from the use of an inline AOI system, which makes it easier to thoroughly verify printed circuit board components for flaws and specifications. The inline technology reduces the need for human interaction to flip the printed circuit boards by scanning both sides of the boards. Because inline AOI systems can scan a large number of printed circuit boards quickly, they are well suited for high-volume production industries like automotive and electronics. In order to expedite the inspection process, the majority of manufacturing organizations equip their production lines with several inline AOI devices.
