AI-powered 3D imaging, scan tunnel deployment, and automation are reshaping the future of industrial scanning and machine vision systems.
Following two years of contraction, the global machine vision market is expected to rebound, reaching over $8 billion in 2025, with industrial barcode scanning close behind. New capabilities like natural language AI interfaces, parallel structured light, and faster image processing are expanding use cases across verticals. However, tariffs and global regulation are complicating the next phase of growth.
