Machine Vision Light Source Market: Introduction
- Machine vision light source consist of a light source and its placement with respect to the part and the camera. It facilitates subsequent image analysis of metal sheets, glass and metal bottles, containers, etc. to detect cracks and scratches on them.
- Light penetrates directly through transparent bottles in a dark area. If the material is irregular with cracks or any other defect, some light would highlight the irregularity. Scratches, especially, create an internal vacancy where light refracts and reflects by scattering at many angles including back to the camera. These lights transform the very hard to detect scratches, abrasion, or dents into bright features in a dark background.
- These factors are expected to contribute to the market expansion
Growing Adoption from Automotive & Transportation Industry
- Based on end-use industry, the global machine vision light source market is segmented into IT & telecommunication, electronics & semiconductors, consumer electronics, automotive & transportation, food & beverage, aerospace & defense, healthcare, and others (power & energy, oil & gas, etc.)
- Automotive & transportation is expected to be the fastest-growing end-use industry for the machine vision light source during the forecast period due to the increasing usage of machine vision light source in the detection of notch and testing of embossed font on flat material surfaces, such as metal, glass, and plastic
- Machine vision light source is primarily utilized for vision illumination, which is a critical prerequisite in producing workable and reproducible image. This is expected to be a prominent driving factor for the machine vision light source market, especially in the automotive & transportation industry.
Asia Pacific to Lead the Machine Vision Light Source Market
- In terms of region, the global machine vision light source market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America.
- Asia Pacific is expected to hold the largest share of the global machine vision light source market throughout the forecast period due to increasing demand from the consumer electronics, automotive & transportation, and food & beverage industries.
- Machine vision light source is widely utilized in small- to medium-scale inspection stations
- The LED technology has improvised in stability, intensity, and cost-effectiveness. However, it is still not as cost-effective for large area lighting, particularly when compared with fluorescent light sources. The LED light is more applicable if the flexibility, output stability, and longevity are important parameters in the application.
- Rising digitalization & urbanization; the proliferation of the urban mobility using commercial electrical vehicles; running investments in smart city projects; innovations in luxury beverage packaging, sustainably-packaged water, or demand for reusable metal water bottles from eco-conscious consumers are several other factors stimulating the machine vision light source market in Asia Pacific.
- The market in North America and Europe is expected to expand at a significant rate during the forecast period due to growing demand for machine vision light source from a wide range of industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, semiconductor, and IT & telecommunication. Moreover, the market is anticipated to be driven by leading countries such as the U.S., Canada, Germany, Spain, France, and Italy. The market in Middle East & Africa and South America is anticipated to expand at a steady rate during the forecast period.
