Following a relatively stable trend in 2023, revenues experienced a significant decline in the first and especially the second quarter of 2024. Basler reported a year-over-year (YoY) decrease in its trailing twelve-month (TTM) revenue of 28.1% in Q2, while OPT Machine Vision saw a 27.8% drop. Similarly, Zebra Technologies, Stemmer Imaging, and Datalogic recorded declines ranging from 19.4% to 20.8% during the same period. In contrast, companies focusing more on vision solutions rather than components, such as Jenoptik, saw a growth of 9.4%, and Antares Vision reported a 3.5% increase.

Despite the significant slowdown in the first half of the year, revenue projections for 2024 remain relatively optimistic. Zebra Technologies is expected to achieve an annual revenue of $4.86 billion, up 6% from $4.58 billion in 2023. Cognex also forecasts an 8.5% revenue increase in 2024, despite reporting declines of 8.4% in Q1 and 5.5% in Q2. Similar trends are anticipated for the second half of 2024 across the board. For instance, Keyence is projected to have a YoY decline of just 0.5% by Q4 2024, compared to a 7.9% decline in Q2, and Basler is expected to see a decline of just 2.2%, indicating a significant recovery towards the end of the year.

Top-13 Machine Vision Players: Their 12-Month Revenue Trends

Machine Vision is a key technology of the 21st century. It enables machines to perceive and understand objects or entire scenes following the same concept as human visual creatures.
However, a breadth of core technologies are required for Machine Vision:

  • Semiconductor technology for image sensing
  • Optics for projecting a scene onto the image sensor
  • Photonics for illuminating the scene or measuring distances
  • Electronics for the read-out and pre-processing of the image sensor data
  • Communication engineering for transmitting video data at up to several 100 Gbit/s
  • Materials science for robust cabling that withstand millions of cycles of bending and torsion
  • High-performance computing to process and analyze the image or video data
  • Deep Learning as novel approach of image analysis

Only very few companies master more than one of these technologies. Hence, the Machine Vision supplier market is enormously scattered with thousands of SMEs. Just some of the players are stock listed and among the large stock-listed players, only a few are exclusively active in Machine Vision.

In the chart below, you find the latest updates on the accumulated revenue of players with a significant share of machine vision revenue, such as Keyence, Teledyne, Zebra Technologies , TKH Group, Hamamatsu, Vieworks, Datalogic, and Jenoptik, and players which are almost exclusively into Machine Vision, such as CognexBasler, Stemmer Imaging, OPT Machine Vision, etc).

Still, the accumulated revenue of the trailing 12-month period and its year-over-year change of our selection of the top-13 players can provide you with a first approximation of the actual machine vision market trend (see Fig. 1, quarterly updated).
