[194 Pages Report] The Automated Optical Inspection Market size was estimated at USD 755.69 million in 2022 and expected to reach USD 894.15 million in 2023, at a CAGR 20.52% to reach USD 3,365.85 million by 2030.

The market for automated optical inspection (AOI) encompasses systems that utilize optical techniques to perform a non-contact inspection of electronic components, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and assemblies to ensure quality control in manufacturing processes. These systems are critical in identifying defects and verifying manufacturing accuracy to improve product quality and yield while reducing waste and costs. The growth of the AOI market is primarily driven by the rising demand for high-quality electronic components and the increasing complexity of PCB designs. Additionally, the shift towards automation and Industry 4.0, stringent quality standards, and the need for higher productivity in electronics manufacturing are contributing to the market’s expansion. Despite the growth prospects, certain challenges impede the AOI market’s progress. High initial setup costs and the required sophistication in the programming and operation of AOI systems pose barriers to wide-scale adoption. False call rates, whereby the AOI system incorrectly flags a passable component as faulty, can cause unnecessary delays and inspections. Furthermore, the miniaturization of components, growth in electric and autonomous vehicles, and the advent of smart factories present potential expansion areas. Innovations in AOI technology that accommodate flexible circuits and three-dimensional inspections and combine with other inspection technologies, including X-ray, can meet the growing demands for precision and comprehensive inspection processes.
