Robotic Vision Market by Type (2D Vision Systems, 3D Vision Systems), Component (Cameras, LED Lighting, Optics, Processors & Controllers, Frame Grabbers, Deep Learning Software), Deployment (Robotic Guidance System, Robotic Cells)- Global Forecast to 2030

At a CAGR of 8.7%, the global robotic vision market is expected to grow from USD 3.29 billion in 2025 to USD 4.99 billion in 2030. 3D robotic systems greatly benefit from 3D vision technology, which offers flexibility for various functions like bin picking, inspection, and measurement. This advanced technology can identify and locate objects based on their shape, allowing for reliable detection of objects with low contrast or complex geometries. As cameras improve in resolution and prices decrease, combined with new microprocessors capable of handling large data sets in real time, 3D vision is expanding the robotic vision market and becoming more attractive for robotic applications.

""2D vision systems will capture a prominent share of the robotic vision market”

A two-dimensional (2D) vision system uses a digital camera to capture an image and processes it into an x–y plane. 2D vision systems create flat, two-dimensional maps of reflected intensity or contrast, making lighting a crucial factor for these cameras. Usually mounted overhead, these systems look down on industrial robots and help in creating program paths for the robots. A 2D vision system captures the processed 2D image at various resolutions. The main advantage of a 2D system over a 3D system is that it is more economical and convenient. These systems are increasingly used in the food and beverage industry as well as in healthcare.

“Electronics & semiconductors will hold the second-largest market share in the robotic vision market, by industry, throughout the forecast period""

Robotic vision systems have the potential to transform production by increasing throughput, quality, and productivity in the electronics and semiconductors industry. Material handling and automated inspection are the most common applications of vision systems. These systems have revolutionized the inspection of electronic components, including semiconductors. Applications such as welding, packaging, and palletizing also rely on the high precision provided by robotic vision systems. Additionally, electronic chips and components are produced in various sizes, which requires micro-level precision in welding and palletizing.

""Industrial automation and growth concerns will position Europe as the third-largest market for robotic vision solutions""

The robotic vision market in Europe is growing as the region encompasses many active industries and companies. The European industry has strong technical and commercial expertise in the robotic vision sector in several Member States—especially France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the Nordics, and the UK. It has developed skills for large manufacturing users. These strengths could now be redirected toward emerging robotic vision markets. Growth has also been seen in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), creating a significant opportunity for the robotic vision market to expand. The European Machine Vision Association (EMVA) has supported the success of the machine vision industry in Europe and forecasts a positive outlook for this market. The EMVA continues to support robotic vision technology by offering more member benefits and serving as the voice of the machine vision community in Europe.
