AUTOMATED INDUSTRIAL QUALITY CONTROL MARKET OVERVIEW

The global automated industrial quality control market size was USD 0.47 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 0.87 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

Automated industrial quality control is the use of a computer or a machine to inspect and test products to ensure that they meet certain specifications. This technology is used in a variety of industries, including automotives, aerospace, manufacturing, heavy machinery, and food processing. The use of different technologies such as infrared cameras, lasers, and magnetic fields has made it possible to create highly accurate systems in a very short time. Automated industrial control systems can improve quality control by providing the capability to quickly detect or identify product defects or variations. This can avoid costly recalls, increase production efficiency, and reduce waste.

At various stages of the manufacturing process or at the final inspection, every product and good that enters and exits the factory is subjected to various quality inspection checks. The goal of quality assurance is to streamline the manufacturing process so that finished products are more likely to meet the company's quality standards. As a result, ensuring quality output has become critical to the entire manufacturing process. More and more manufacturers are implementing automated quality control systems to detect problems before they become serious or to reduce quality control costs. Additionally, automated quality control systems improve overall product quality, increase throughput, reduce obsolete and time-consuming manual inspections, and boost competitiveness.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Less Demand Resulted In  a Halt in Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the automated industrial quality control market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

One of the worst things that happened in the 20th century was the COVID-19 pandemic. Every aspect of human life suffered as a result when a small virus brought the entire world to a halt. A virus that affects the respiratory systems of living organisms has an indirect impact on the global economy. In the case of the automated industrial quality control market, demand was very low because the manufacturing industries, which are the end users of this item, ceased operations during the pandemic. The business was impacted by the production and supply chain systems, resulting in poor automated industrial quality control market growth.

LATEST TRENDS

Demand for Customized Product Boosts the Market Growth

Every day, technology advances. Every day, new technologies are developed. As a result, quality control has become much easier. Customized products are increasingly popular these days. Companies develop automated industrial quality control equipment to meet the exact needs of their customers, resulting in a completely error-free end product. There are quality control system options for each stage of production. The automated industrial quality control market is growing as quality inspection systems become more accurate with the help of artificial intelligence.

DRIVING FACTORS

Elimination of Human Errors Boosts the Market Growth

Many advantages of automated industrial quality control systems improve the quality of parts and complete products. Due to a scarcity of experienced CMM operators, manufacturers are increasingly relying on automated quality control solutions to not only eliminate production bottlenecks but also improve the quality of the parts being inspected because automated systems are immune to human error. Furthermore, qualified employees can be assigned to higher-value tasks like data and inspection analysis. It increases the accuracy of inspection measurements. Automated inspections ensure accurate measurements on complex parts and high-throughput production lines, driving market growth.

The Need for Productivity Accelerates Market Growth

These systems can collect more data for large quantities of parts more quickly. Manufacturers can make better decisions based on more reliable results from a larger number of components when combined with sophisticated reporting capabilities. Due to the inexhaustible amount of 3D data captured by automated quality control systems, a manufacturer's quality control operations can provide dynamic, real-time reviews of production quality as well as comprehensive compliance tests to clients. Defects and irregularities can thus be detected more quickly, and corrective actions can be taken to avoid downtime and adhere to production timelines, improving productivity and product quality.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Maintenance Hinders the Market’s Growth

For many decades, automated industrial quality control has been a mainstay of industry. However, there are some unintended consequences that manufacturers must consider before implementing automation. One of these consequences is the requirement for significant capital investment to maintain and service automated systems. These systems are also more vulnerable to cyber attacks than manual systems, leaving businesses vulnerable if their infrastructure is not properly protected. Aside from the numerous benefits of an automated industrial quality control system, it has a high installation and maintenance cost and effort.
