PCB Inspection Equipment Market Outlook – 2026
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is an Integrated Circuit (IC) that is used in electronics manufacturing production process for detecting faults. It senses the faults immediately so that they can be corrected on time. PCB inspection equipment make use of ultrasonic, X rays, UV radiation and cameras to detect defects in PCBs. There are numerous equipment that ensure the quality and efficiency of PCBs such as Automatic X- ray inspection (AXI), SAM Modules, automatic optical inspection (AOI) and thermography modules.
Shenzhen Image Technology Co. Ltd., a China-based company, is a well well-known player in the PCB inspection equipment. It provides PCB inspection solutions for the Printed Circuit Board Industry. The company developed its first Automatic Visual Inspection (AVI) equipment named “AVI smart MS G 350” which consist of high-speed software, and fully automatic camera. In addition, Nanotronics Imaging, a New York-based company and one of the leading player in supplying advanced inspection tools launched “nSpec LS “microscope, which has optical microscopy, artificial intelligence (AI), and high-resolution imaging features that facilitate the configuration of defects and scan.
The PCB inspection equipment market is expected to witness during the forecast period due to increasing demand for automated inspection system in the manufacturing process. With the rapid advancements in technology, electrical and mechanical faults can automatically be identified during the manufacturing of electronics components. For instances, in cars PCBs are highly responsible for LED lights, engines, mirror controls, displays, and entertainment systems. Such accessories demanded by customers further propels the demand for PCB inspection equipment.
