AUTOMATED OPTICAL METROLOGY MARKET OVERVIEW

The global automated optical metrology market size, valued at USD 1.32 billion in 2024, is expected to climb to USD 2.51 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.

AOI systems typically consist of a camera, a light source, and a computer. The camera captures images of the object being measured, and the computer analyzes the images to determine the dimensions, shape, and surface features of the object.

AOI systems can be used to measure a wide variety of objects, including parts, components, and assemblies. They can also be used to measure objects in a variety of environments, including cleanrooms and harsh environments. AOI systems offer a number of advantages over traditional manual measurement methods. They are faster, more accurate, and more repeatable. They also require less operator training.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Decreased the Market Demand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the automated optical metrology 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.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the automated optical metrology market share. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted supply chains around the world, which has made it difficult for companies to obtain the components and materials they need to manufacture automated optical metrology systems. This has led to delays in the delivery of systems and increased costs. The COVID-19 pandemic has also led to production slowdowns in many industries, which has reduced the demand for automated optical metrology systems. This is because companies are producing fewer products, which means they need fewer metrology systems to inspect them. The automotive and aerospace industries are two key industries that use automated optical metrology systems. These industries have been particularly hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, as they have seen a decline in demand for their products. This has led to a decline in the demand for automated optical metrology systems from these industries. In addition to these factors, the COVID-19 pandemic has also created new challenges for the market. For example, the pandemic has made it more difficult for companies to train their employees on how to use these systems. Additionally, the pandemic has increased the demand for it systems that can be used to disinfect and clean products.
