The report "Europe Machine Vision Market by Component (Cameras, Frame Grabbers, Optics, LED Lighting, Processors, AI-based Machine Vision Software), Type (PC-based, Smart Camera-based), Deployment (General, Robotic Cell), Vision Type (1D, 2D, 3D) - Forecast to 2030", The machine vision market in Europe is projected to grow from USD 3.61 billion in 2024 to USD 5.43 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period. Growth is primarily driven by the rapid adoption of vision-guided robotics supported by Europe’s strong industrial automation ecosystem, along with the increasing integration of AI-enabled and deep-learning-based vision systems in manufacturing and logistics environments. These technologies are enhancing accuracy, enabling automated defect detection, and improving quality control across high-value European industries. Opportunities continue to rise as food & beverage, as well as packaging, manufacturers adopt machine vision to meet stringent EU hygiene, safety, and labeling regulations. The growing availability of compact smart cameras, edge AI processors, and embedded vision modules is also expanding adoption by providing more flexible and scalable deployment options. However, market growth is restrained by high initial investment and integration costs, especially for SMEs that struggle to modernize existing production lines. The region also faces a shortage of skilled professionals in computer vision, robotics, and automation engineering, slowing large-scale implementation. Additionally, cybersecurity concerns associated with connected automation and smart factory systems remain key challenges that must be addressed to accelerate the wider adoption of these systems across Europe.
