Europe Machine Vision Market

With a CAGR of 7.3%, the machine vision market in Europe is projected to grow from USD 3.61 billion in 2024 to USD 5.43 billion by 2030. Growth is driven by rising automation across manufacturing, strong adoption of Industry 4.0, and the increasing deployment of AI-enabled inspection systems in production environments. Industries across Europe are integrating machine vision to enhance quality control, reduce defects, strengthen traceability, and optimize equipment utilization.

Machine vision systems are widely adopted across various industries, including automotive, electronics & semiconductors, logistics, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, and industrial machinery, in Europe. These solutions are used for defect detection, measurement, pattern recognition, and automated product tracking. Growing investments in EV manufacturing, robotics, smart factories, and sustainability-driven production are further accelerating demand for advanced machine vision technologies.

The market is highly competitive, with strong participation from global and regional providers offering a broad range of hardware and software solutions. Major players include Basler AG, SICK AG, TKH Group, Baumer, Cognex Corporation, Keyence Corporation, ISRA VISION, and Teledyne Technologies. Innovation in AI vision, 3D imaging, system integration, and strategic partnerships continues to support market expansion and strengthen the presence of leading players across Europe.

In June 2024, Basler's ace 2 V series introduced compact CoaXPress 2.0 cameras (29x29 mm) with Sony Pregius S sensors (5-24 MP, up to 212 fps), offering high bandwidth (12.5 Gbps) and diverse resolutions. These new models expand Basler's CoaXPress 2.0 portfolio, providing customers with integrated hardware and software solutions from a single vendor.

In June 2024, SICK AG launched the Inspector83x 2D vision sensor, introducing out-of-the-box AI machine vision for high-speed inline inspections. This sensor simplifies complex inspections with AI, enabling efficient quality control in demanding production environments.
