With more machines and gadgets, like our electronics and cars, needing advanced circuit boards and surface-mounted parts, there's a surge in demand that's pushing the market forward. These high-tech machines require circuit boards that have been thoroughly tested to ensure they meet safety and manufacturing standards. Luckily, this market provides testing for specific purposes and can find faults at every stage of making circuit boards. Plus, to create safe and reliable machines for different industries, there are more and more global standards and rules being made, which is also helping the market grow. These machines are being used more and more in the auto and electronics industries to meet the rising demand for dependable circuit board parts.

A rise in the trend of automation in manufacturing electronic components, such as circuit boards and sensors, is contributing toward the market progression. Manufacturers are developing several PCB inspections machines that incorporate 3D inline features that offer efficient inspection as compared to the 2D options. Additionally, the increasing defects and more time consumed in manual PCB detection techniques account for the rising adoption of the market. The technical advancements, such as the use of high-resolution cameras and imaging systems, in modern inspection systems offer better fault detection results over the conventional human involved techniques.

There's a big challenge holding back the growth of machines that automatically inspect products using light. A lot of people don't even know these machines exist, and even when companies start using them, they sometimes get confused results. The machines have a limited number of "calls" they can make, like when they flag something for a closer look. But if they make too many false calls, it slows down the whole production line because the workers have to stop and check things that aren't actually wrong. This problem can be fixed by making better machines and using other technology, like computer-aided design and manufacturing, so that the machines make fewer false calls.

The COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench in the works for companies involved in making and using automated optical inspection (AOI) systems. When factories that make the electronic bits and pieces in China had to close, it messed up production, deliveries, and the entire supply chain. This meant that companies that put together AOI systems had trouble getting the parts they needed during the first half of 2020, which slowed down the whole process. On top of that, the pandemic made people worried about their finances, so many companies put off buying new and improved technology like AOI systems. But as the electronics industry starts to recover and the economy stabilizes, the AOI market is expected to bounce back after the pandemic.

Automated Optical Inspection System Market Analysis

Picture thiscameras and sensors are playing a starring role in the AOI (automated optical inspection) system market, and experts predict they'll drive a 15% growth by 2024. Why the fuss? These cameras and sensors are like the eagle eyes of the industry, spotting faults that human eyes miss. They're the main attraction, including HD and machine vision cameras that let us inspect parts better than ever before. One of the hottest trends in imaging is the triple threat of high-resolution, high frame rate cameras in 3D inspection systems. Think of them as the ultimate detectives, scanning a wider area and capturing all the details like height, width, and length. Suppliers in the market have stepped up their game, creating cutting-edge cameras and imaging systems tailored for the specific needs of PCB (printed circuit board) inspection and fault detection. They're like the secret weapons for ensuring the perfection of our electronic devices.

The lighting industry is poised to hit a staggering $250 million by 2024. Why? Because of the growing need for bright and focused lighting to spot errors on printed circuit boards (PCBs). These lighting products are like the eyes of the inspection machines, helping them see and catch mistakes and flaws on PCBs. They come in different colors and brightness levels to meet the needs of different applications. For example, white light is great for general illumination, while red or blue light can highlight specific features or defects. Plus, these lighting systems can adjust the angle of the light to accommodate different PCB shapes and sizes. By providing optimal lighting, these products help inspection machines capture crystal-clear images and deliver precise inspection results. It's like giving the machines a superpower to spot even the smallest of errors, ensuring the quality and reliability of your PCBs.

Hey there! In 2017, something called "3D inline systems" made up a huge chunk (35%) of the market for machines that check printed circuit boards (PCBs). They're popular with PCB makers because they're super accurate and can find errors in parts for cars, which need to be really precise. One reason for their success is the use of lasers. These lasers can spot tiny problems that old-fashioned 2D systems might miss. Plus, these 3D systems can create super-detailed 3D images of PCBs, showing their exact shape and size. All this means that 3D systems make it way easier to find any issues in PCBs. This helps cut down on the need for humans to manually check them, which saves time and improves the quality of the boards used in many devices.

The 2D systems have dominated the market in recent years attributed to the lower prices and affordability, mainly for electronic manufacturers. These systems are deployed with ultra-resolution imaging systems, telecentric lenses, and lensing technology that illuminate the PCB areas to be inspected. The 2D systems are appropriate solutions for the inspection of two-dimensional circuit boards and they facilitate manufacturers with low capital funding in PCB manufacturing. The deployment of these systems aids companies to save the manufacturing costs as it eliminates human involvement in PCB detection and assembly.

Wave soldering applications captured 30% of the automated optical inspection system market share in 2017 impelled by the implementation in cases of large production volumes. The manufacturers have developed specialized pre and post-wave soldering AOI systems for the operations that are performed by liquid dissolution methods.

Selective soldering applications are gaining a substantial popularity credited to the benefits including low operational costs over the traditional wave soldering alternatives. These techniques are used to inspect the soldering parts on partly and dully assembled PCBs. These selective soldering machines provide soldering process optimization, reliable solder joint detection, and avoid component overheating.
