Machine vision industry will reach $8.3bn in 2030: Interact Analysis
Industry News- Jun 25,26
Interact Analysis says machine vision grew 5.2 per cent in 2025 and is forecast to expand 7.2% annually to $8.3 billion by 2030, driven by 3D cameras, software and logistics automation.
The machine vision industry recorded a positive 2025, exceeding expectations with 5.2 per cent growth, according to Interact Analysis. Despite expected tariff pressures, the market is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of 7.2 per cent from 2025 to 2030, rising from $5.9 billion to $8.3 billion during the forecast period.
The latest machine vision report from the market intelligence specialist suggests that growth was supported by strong advances in 3D cameras and vision software. Rising demand for precision and high-grade inspection is accelerating the shift towards more intelligent vision systems. Autonomous driving and bin picking are also emerging as key applications driving industry growth.
Interact Analysis analysts predict that APAC, excluding Japan, will remain the fastest-growing region for machine vision, with an average annual growth rate of 8.1 per cent from 2025 to 2030. Japan is forecast to record the lowest growth rate at 6 per cent.
The EMEA region saw the lowest level of growth in 2025 at 0.8 per cent, although it still exceeded expectations, compared with earlier forecasts of a 1.4 per cent decline. Despite a weak 2025, the machine vision industry in EMEA is expected to improve in 2026, with projected growth of 3.9 per cent. The region is also expected to outpace Japan from 2025 to 2030, with an average annual increase of 6.7 per cent.
Logistics to be the fastest-growing industry for machine vision
Interact Analysis reports that rising automation in warehousing, sorting and distribution has increased demand for machine vision in the logistics industry. Logistics is expected to be the fastest-growing industry for machine vision from 2025 to 2030, expanding from $494 million to $898 million at an average annual rate of 12.7 per cent.
The report also reveals that bin picking and autonomous mobile robots are the fastest-growing applications for machine vision within logistics. Despite strong growth in logistics, electrical and electronics is expected to remain the largest industry for machine vision, expanding from $742 million to almost $1.1 billion between 2025 and 2030.
Tariffs had limited impact on growth
Despite initial caution in the machine vision market in early 2025, Interact Analysis reports that tariffs ultimately had only a limited impact, with demand remaining strong. Tariffs led to modest price increases being passed on to end-users, although this had minimal impact on demand. Prices are projected to stabilise going forward.
Jonathan Sparkes, Market Analyst, Interact Analysis, said, “Tariffs introduced in early 2025 initially created uncertainty for the machine vision market, as vendors and end-users assessed potential cost implications and adjusted purchasing plans. Despite these concerns, the market has demonstrated notable resilience, with continued adoption across manufacturing and non-manufacturing applications. In many cases, additional costs have been partially passed through as modest price increases, which have helped support revenue growth and partially offset margin pressures.”
