COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The ongoing spread of COVID-19 has become one of the biggest threats to the global economy and is causing widespread concerns and economic hardship for consumers, businesses and communities across the globe. The “new normal” that includes social distancing and working from home has created challenges with daily activities, regular work, needs, and supplies, causing delayed initiatives and missed opportunities.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the society and overall economy across the globe. The impact of this outbreak has grown day-by-day that affects the supply chain. This has created uncertainty in the stock market; decreased business confidence, slowed supply chain, and increased panic among customers. European countries under lockdown have suffered a major loss of business and revenue due to shutdown of manufacturing units in the region. Operations of production and manufacturing industries have been heavily impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19, which led to slowdown in growth of the market in 2020.
By System
Computer Based System segment is projected as one of the most lucrative segments.
According to the surface inspection market trends, the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the global manufacturing and industrial sectors as production facilities have stalled, which, in turn, led to significant demand in industries.
Emergence of COVID-19 has declined growth of the surface inspection market in 2020, and is estimated to witness slow growth till the end of 2021. Implementation of partial or complete lockdown across various countries globally is the prime reason for decline in growth rate of the market. As industries were temporarily shut, it reduced the need for maintenance from various industries.
Top Impacting Factors
Notable factors positively affecting the surface inspection market include growth in adoption of surface inspection in automotive sector and increase in demand for Computer-based surface inspection systems for surface defect inspection. However, complex product design hampers growth of the market. Furthermore, rise in demand from medical and pharmaceutical industries and increase in use of collaborative robots in surface inspection is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the market growth in the coming years.
By Industry Vertical
Healthcare segment is projected as one of the most lucrative segments.
Growing Adoption of Surface Inspection in Automotive Sector
Surface inspection systems have gained great popularity with development of programmable hardware processors and built-in image processing techniques, which have characteristics such as fast speed, high precision, low-cost and non-destructive features, improved productivity, and quality management.
Defect detection on car bodies usually adopt an inspection program flow, which can perform image acquisition, fusion by collecting images of car bodies, image processing, and classification to detect and distinguish millimeter sized defects. Various vehicle inspection systems and techniques have been introduced with the aim for surface defect inspection.
For instance, the system, developed by Ford Motor Company uses a moving structure made up of several light bars (high-frequency fluorescent tubes) and a set of cameras in fixed positions around the stationary car body can detect millimetric defects of 0.3 mm diameter or greater with different shapes that are very hard to detect, thus improving quality of manual inspection carried out. Hence, growing adoption of surface inspection and surface inspection market opportunity in the automobile sector positively impacts the market growth and creating.
Complex Product Design
The major factor restraining growth of the global surface inspection market is the complex product design of the inspection system. These systems are a combination of cameras and illumination systems, coupled with some sophisticated image processing. A surface inspection system is setup typically through experimentation. Apart from analyzing different images from defective parts in the defect catalogue, users need to experiment with images of production parts to represent process variation. On the basis of these findings, a preliminary investigation from inspection experts is done, which typically reveals required setup. Moreover, installing such sophisticated system in a rough industrial environment, especially in metal industries is a complex task. All these factors are expected to affect growth of the market.
