Background
Machine vision, as an indispensable key component of the sensing technology system, has evolved from a simple “perception tool” to a “visual hub” that connects the physical world and the digital world, providing more precise “eyes” and smarter “brains” for the intelligent upgrade of industry.
Between 2024 and 2025, machine vision technology is entering a period of rapid growth, characterized by the deep integration of AI and 3D perception. Technologies such as 3D vision, deep learning vision, and LiDAR are achieving dual breakthroughs in performance iteration and cost optimization, breaking through the boundaries of traditional applications.
According to the latest market data survey by QYResearch, the global market sales of machine vision systems and services reached USD 18,345 million in 2025 and are projected to reach USD 35,062 million in 2031, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.40% from 2025 to 2031.
To further promote the development of machine vision technology, the “Machine Vision Enabling Industrial Intelligent Manufacturing Forum“, held on February 6, 2026, will bring together leading enterprises and research institutes for in-depth exchanges and discussions on industry application needs and key technologies.
