Global machine vision and vision guided robotics market

CANADA: ELECTRONICS.CA announced the availability of a new report entitled, “Global Machine Vision and Vision Guided Robotics Market”.

The total global machine vision system and component market is expected to be worth $15.3 billion by 2015, out of which the camera and smart camera will account for nearly 27.3 percent of the total revenues. The global market is expected to record a CAGR of 9.3 percent from 2010 to 2015.

The machine vision system and component market has advanced very fast to meet the growing demand for traditional and non-traditional applications areas. Advancement in processing capabilities has made the machine vision systems more powerful; coupled with the development of smart camera and new interfaces.

These advancements have also increased processing power, reduced cost and operational complexities, thereby increasing the scope of machine vision technology for a wider application. The global machine vision system and components market is estimated to reach $9,830.4 million in 2010; growing at an estimated CAGR of 9.3 percent from 2010 to 2015.

Amongst all the market segments, the optics, lighting and frame grabbers commanded the largest share in terms of revenues in 2010, while camera and smart camera came second in terms of revenues. However, camera and smart camera is the fastest growing market, growing at a CAGR of 10.2 percent from 2010 to 2015, due to the higher demand for smart camera because of its lower cost of the system and easy to install and use.

Processor, software, and hardware market is expected to reach $3,641.6 million in 2015 with an estimated CAGR of 8.8 percent from 2010 to 2015.

At present, Asia Pacific region dominates the global machine vision system and component market, which is also the fastest growing region, at a double digit CAGR of 11.1 percent from 2010 to 2015 and this trend is expected to continue in the forecasted period as well; followed by North American region, the second largest market for machine vision, which occupied market share of 32.2 percent of the overall market in 2010. However, ROW was the smallest market for machine vision system and components in 2010.

The report focuses on machine vision hardware and software included in vision systems, such as those found in smart cameras and compact vision systems. The improvement in this area is a major driving factor for the overall growth of machine vision market.
