The increase in miniaturization of printed circuit boards and electronic components
Automated optical inspection systems are essential to the production of any product, but they are especially important for small products like printed circuit boards. An automated optical inspection system combines artificial intelligence-based software and image processing to identify flaws in any manufactured product. High density interconnect (HDI) printed circuit boards, which are more intricate and densely packed with components, are becoming more popular. This is a result of the rise in use of small, portable structured devices.Â
The inspection of printed circuit boards is difficult to conduct manually, hence automated optical inspection systems are being used more and more. Dr. Hester and his colleagues at Northwestern University in Illinois unveiled the tiny electronic module filled with sensors that attaches to the inside of a typical medical-grade N95 mask in January 2022 in order to provide a solution for COVID-19 pandemic prevention. This mask will help with COVID-19 virus diagnosis and leak detection.Â

Furthermore, the camera, illumination, and optics employed in the 2D systems offer versatility in inspection, allowing for the simultaneous inspection of both small and big components on a printed circuit board.
Based on Industry Vertical, the Automated Optical Inspection System Market has been segmented into Automotive, Aerospace & Defense . Automotive segments dominate the market The segment is being driven by an increase in demand for robust and high-performing electronic components for improving vehicle safety.Â
Additionally, with the development of technologies like anti-lock brakes (ABS) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), the demand for high-end electronics components in the automotive industry has skyrocketed. Due to the existence of significant automobile manufacturers in these nations, Germany, France, and Japan are the key markets for the adoption of AOI systems in the automotive industry.
By Region, the study segments the market into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America. Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest share of revenue in 2021. This is explained by the fact that the area is home to numerous electronics and printed circuit board makers. Additionally, one of the main drivers for large electronics manufacturers to locate operations in this area has been the region's low cost of labor. Additionally, the demand for consumer electronics and autos has surged in nations like China and India due to rising disposable income, which has fueled the demand for high-quality electronic components and fueled the expansion of this industry.
It is expected that the North America region will exhibit the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. due to increased innovation and technological developments across all of the region's manufacturing sectors. Increasing demand for smaller, faster, and more streamlined electronic items and smartphones is another factor driving this industry.
Further, the countries considered in the scope of the Automated Optical Inspection Systems market are the US, Canada, Mexico, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Sweden, Romania, Ireland, China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Brunei, India, Australia & New Zealand, South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and others.
