The 3D Machine Vision Market Analysis: Boosting Productivity

3D Machine Vision Industry Overview

The global 3D machine vision market size was valued at USD 6.43 billion in 2023 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9% from 2024 to 2030. Increasing demand for quality inspection and automation in various industrial verticals is likely to drive the machine vision market. Additionally, need for vision-guided robotic systems across automotive, food & beverage, pharmaceutical & chemical, and packaging segments is expected to fuel market growth. The surge in demand for application-oriented machine vision systems is also boosting the adoption of technology over the forecast period. 3D machine vision (MV) systems involve the ability of a computer to observe, inspect, and scrutinize work performance by employing one or more video cameras, digital signal processing, and analog-to-digital conversion. Captured data is then transferred to a computer to analyze and provide desired output.

Sensitivity and resolution are two important aspects of any machine vision (MV) system. Resolution is responsible for differentiating between objects, whereas sensitivity is the machine's ability to detect objects or weak impulses despite dim lights or invisible wavelengths. These systems play a crucial role in supervising work environments and offer features such as process control, robotic guidance, and automatic inspection in industrial applications. Industrial production and manufacturing activities are becoming increasingly complex, leading to challenges and greater unreliability for the human eye to accurately detect, observe, and examine production activities.
