Vision Processing Unit Market Outlook-2026
A vision processing unit (VPU) is a kind of microprocessor that makes use of machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies to produce high resolution images in respect of ambient light, i.e., related to immediate surroundings as well as consumes less power. In addition, it is also used for identifying the memory of an object, providing CPU and GPU components by improving the overall performance of the system, which helps in visualizing the object in all three dimensions. It is a specialized processor that is made to support tasks such as acquiring, processing, analyzing, and understanding digital images.
The vision processing unit market is expected to witness growth due to increase in adoption of machine vision systems across wide range of industry verticals including consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, and manufacturing among others. The growing use of VPU in smartphones results in low consumption of power and increased battery life. VPUs are also used in wearable cameras that are used by police personnel & security forces for surveillance and in medical fields by the doctor to supervise the medical process when treating a patient. Thus, growth in demand for low power consumption system on chip (SoC) circuits that find varied applications is expected to propel the growth of the market. In addition, vision processing units are also used in smartphones for giving an exceptional photography experience to the user, which forces smartphone manufactures to deliver high services in dual camera models that facilitates user with DSLR like image quality. Thus, all these factors are highly responsible for the vision processing unit market growth.
The factors such as increase in adoption of smartphones, rise in demand for high-end computing capabilities for computer and machine vision, and growth in government stringent regulation toward mission vision systems across various industry verticals drive the growth of the vision processing unit market. However, the complexity associated with the programming of the system on which VPU is incorporated is expected to restrain the market growth in the coming years. Nonetheless, emergence of autonomous cars, increase in need for machine vision system in industrial applications, and incorporation of several innovative and technologically advanced products are anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the market growth.
