The global automated optical inspection market was valued at about USD 571.6 million in 2021 and is expected to expand to around USD 2,960.4 million by 2028, with a CAGR of around 19.5 percent during the forecast period.
The global automated optical inspection market was valued at about USD 571.6 million in 2021 and is expected to expand to around USD 2,960.4 million by 2028, with a CAGR of around 19.5 percent during the forecast period. The study examines the market's drivers, constraints, and challenges, as well as the impact they have on the demand throughout the forecast period. In addition, the report looks at new potential in the market for automated optical inspection.
Automated optical inspection (AOI) systems are primarily used for thorough observation on a printed circuit board, which verifies a device with the use of an autonomous camera and screen for both major failure and quality abnormalities. These technologies provide even more speed and precision.
Automated optical inspection equipment is quick and provides consistent inspection results. Automated optical inspection systems use a variety of processes to determine if a board is excellent or has any flaws, such as design coordinating, layout coordinating, and statistical pattern matching.
The growth of AOI market is significantly declined due to the COVID-19 pandemic as the pandemic limited the availability and usage of hardware parts, such as sensors, across a variety of applications. This is due to the global economy's and enterprises' significant disruptions. However, not all semiconductor firms are experiencing a drop in growth, since remote working and work from home activities have allowed businesses to continue operating during lockdowns.
Some organizations experienced short-term operating challenges as a result of reduced staff availability caused by government social distancing policies during the COVID-19 crisis. Also, COVID-19 has had a negative impact on several enterprises whose fiscal year ends in March 2020.
An increase in demand for consumer electronics is likely to boost the growth of the market
Demand for modern consumer electronic appliances and goods has increased as a result of factors such as urbanization and increased disposable income. Simultaneously, there is an increase in demand for long-lasting, high-quality items at a reasonable price. Electronic manufacturing factories are springing up all over the world as the demand for consumer electronics grows tremendously. The growing demand for improved goods has prompted PCB producers to invest in more cost-effective production procedures.
As a result, PCB manufacturers have implemented AOI systems in their production lines to increase product quality and reduce manufacturing costs. In addition to this, people spending more time indoors has led to increased expenditures on technological advancements, thereby making homes more comfortable and pleasant. This has resulted in a surge in demand for novel consumer electronics. Thus, the growing demand for consumer electronics in developed and emerging countries is likely to boost the growth of the global automated optical inspection market.
Image-based AOI systems' false call rate may impede the growth of the automated optical inspection market
The false call rate (FCR) is described as the number of acceptable components that are mistakenly identified as faulty, and the false call rate is measured in parts-per-million (ppm). When it comes to image-based AOI systems, false calls are the main important consideration. The image-based AOI system employs a series of images to distinguish between faulty and excellent components. At the same time, the operator who collects these photographs and feeds them into the database is the most important part of this system. When images are incorrectly categorized and stored in the image database, parameter optimization becomes difficult.
Furthermore, if a false call occurs, the operator must inspect the problem and restart the operation, resulting in a slower manufacturing process, lower productivity, and higher production costs. All such factors may hinder the growth of the global automated optical inspection market.
The arrival of the SMART revolution is expected to have ample opportunities for market growth
Smart technology is steadily becoming more widely used, from smartphones, wearables, and laptops to even larger uses in smart homes and smart industries. Smart technology encompasses a wide range of gadgets, including Internet of Things (IoT) devices and smart linked devices. Sensors, processors, software, internet connection, analytics, and apps are used to bring static physical things to life in the Internet of Things (IoT). These gadgets are automated, scalable, and futuristic, and they add significant value. Smart factories, smart homes, and smart cities are just a few examples. Smart-linked gadgets use remote control and are connected to the Bluetooth or internet.
Smart-linked gadgets can provide a personalized experience, but they must be controlled through a remote. Manufacturers have been able to increase the number of components put on a PCB due to the miniaturization trend. The need for AOI systems has been spurred by the necessity to check all components in a timely and reliable manner. Inspecting compact PCBs requires the use of an AOI system.
The need for highly sophisticated software and hardware to deal with vast data poses a major challenge to the market.
As a result of the present demanding scenario in the electronics production environment, modern AOI systems have improved significantly. With the shrinking of electrical components and the increasing complexity of PCB architecture, AOI systems have evolved. Multiple high-definition cameras are being employed in an AOI system to obtain more detailed pictures of complicated PCBs. These newest cameras can shoot at speeds of up to 120 frames per second (fps).
The high-resolution pictures and rapid scanning speeds produce a large amount of data. To store and analyze this huge volume of data, businesses must maintain very complex software and hardware systems solutions. However, not every electronics manufacturer can afford such a pricey support system, which poses a hindrance to the global automated optical inspection market's expansion.
