Global Surface Inspection Market Overview

The Global Surface Inspection market was valued at USD 3.48 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 5.03 billion by the year 2028, at a CAGR of 5.4%.

The surface inspection involves the application of angled lighting and smart cameras to accurately detect surface flaws or features, in real-time, on objects as they are manufactured. Machine vision surface inspection can be a challenge owing to the nature and variety of the product or object. Surface inspection systems are utilized for the consistent inspection and monitoring of surface, and surveillance utilizations. Surface inspection searches for cracks, holes, joints, dents, textures, and scratches that arise during the process of production and cross-border transportation. Automated vision inspection systems are developed to serve an extensive range of components and can be utilized for packaging, machine builders, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, automotive, sorting manufacturing, and other automation and robotic applications. Surface vision and inspection systems help producing companies rises process accuracy, productivity, and save cost. Hardware and software utilized in these systems process, analyze, and measure various characteristics in greater detail and derive significant evaluations. This inspection process is a majorly authentic electronic replacement for manual inspection processes.

Furthermore, surface inspection equipment assists maintain mandatory standards and regulations in processes such as drug synthesis and label tracking, established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and various other national institutions, in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Declined manufacturing errors, reduced production wastage, and consistent maintenance of product quality are some of the advantages of surface vision & inspection equipment.

COVID-19 Impact on Surface Inspection Market

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has interrupted many industries, including the automation and manufacturing industries. In the manufacturing industry, mass production activities have led to a decrease in the overall operational cost. Nevertheless, it improves the probability of defects and errors thereby making the surface vision inspection systems required for high product quality. The pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies are acquiring surface and vision inspection equipment to match the rising demand the medical equipment and pharmaceutical products during the COVID-19 impact. It also helps to regulate the regulation about food quality and drug safety. In addition, vehicle sales have collapsed globally, with the situation probably only provoke further owing to the lockdowns and travel ban imposed by most countries globally.  As per the WTO, in 2020, the exports of automobile products declined by 12% globally. Imports of automotive products fell by 60% in April 2020 because of the closure of automobile assembly factories in Europe and North America, as well as a fall in car purchases. Furthermore, in some sectors such as semiconductors, food and beverages, and others, the demand for surface inspection is also rising owing to the demand for better quality products. Therefore, owing to the COVID-19 impact, the market is expected to rise during the forecast period.

Market Dynamics For The Surface Inspection Market

Drivers:

The major driver for the Surface Inspection Market is the growing demand for value assurance plus automation. This is the reason that labor pays are rising and firms are falling the cost by automation. The human fault is decreased through automation and speediness. Innovative solutions, for instance, machine vision (MV) supports inspecting the product mechanically, which increases the efficiency of the production technique. The manufacturers prefer MV for the photographic inspections that want replicability of dimensions, elevated magnification, and utmost speed. This technology is generally utilized in the semiconductor industry for manufacturing purposes. Furthermore, 3D image is getting extensive among several industries, for instance, locomotive, solar cells, semiconductors, and printing.

Moreover, growth in the appropriation of smart cameras, enhanced software, and powerful image processors due to their significance and features. Features and technologies of components such as the image sensors, processors, camera, illumination equipment, optics, and software determine the performance of a surface inspection system. The capabilities of smart cameras have been extended owing to developments in embedded processors, enabling them to accomplish inspection activities autonomously. In April 2020, Cognex (US) launched In-Sight D900, the world's first industrial smart camera powered by deep learning. Optical character recognition (OCR), assembly verification, and defect detection are a few of the complex in-line inspection utilizations that these self-contained systems can handle. Declined manufacturing errors, consistent maintenance of product quality, and decreased production wastage are some of the advantages of surface vision & inspection equipment. As per the Monetary Watch, the Changing Precision Technology Company, a production factory in Dongguan, China, saw an accurate drop of 80% in defects, 250% rise in productivity while making certain better quality at the same time, with the implementation of inspection systems and industrial robots.

Restraints:

Increasing the difficulty in the product design and manufacturing might restraint the growth of the surface inspection market over the forecast period. Furthermore, compatibility is a critical function in any factory or production facility. A modular framework must exist for both hardware and software to connect and coordinate various surface inspection systems. The emphasis is not only on the software side, which is utilized for programming, diagnosing, and monitoring but also on the hardware substitutability between surface inspections (vision system) and robot arms. In the manufacturing and processing sectors, there have been cases where a client purchased a robot arm and a surface inspection separately that were not fully consistent with each other, and the setup was a massive challenge from the start.

Opportunities:

Collaborative robots are becoming more popular owing to them enabling humans and robots to work effectively together in open or unchained environments. They are extensively accepted not only in small and medium-sized businesses but also large-scale, traditional industries including automotive. The demand for collaborative vision systems is rising owing to the fast-changing nature of industries. This situation is witnessed in the consumer goods industry, especially packaging, where the surface, shape, size, or weight of the packaging is continuously changing. Furthermore, surface inspection systems are being consolidated with robots, which enhance process speed, declines costs, and overcome human errors. These systems are also known as VGR systems, are used in the food processing industries, automotive, and electronics. With the rising demand and requirement for robots, so will the demand for surface inspection systems. Different major key players such as VITRONIC (Germany), Kitov (Israel), Cognex (US), ISRA VISION (Germany), and moving into robot-based surface inspection systems.

Market Segmentation

Segmentation Analysis of Surface Inspection Market

Based on Type, the 3D type segment is expected to record the maximum surface inspection market share during the forecast period. Growing demand for product quality and the complexity of surfaces, 3D surface inspection techniques are replacing 2D surface inspection techniques in production and quality control. Owing to the 3D techniques overcome the challenges of 2D techniques and enable producers to inspect beyond the two planes of a product; they also offer data on the height of the product, thereby adding data points to make more authentic conclusions. Due to the developments in accuracy and speed in both 3D scanners and point cloud data processing, 3D scanning has become a growingly effective and popular method of capturing surface geometry.

Based on the Component, cameras segment type is expected to dominate the surface inspection market throughout the forecast period. Continuous developments in microchips and LEDs used in cameras are facilitating the production of reliable, smaller, and economical products.
