Frame Grabber Market Analysis Report By Advanced Application, By End-Use Customers and Segment Forecasts From 2018 To 2025

Industry Outlook

The global frame grabber market size was worth USD 255.3 million in the year 2016. They are electronic devices that are able to acquire digitized frames from an analog video signal or a digital video stream. Earlier, frame grabbers were available as standalone cards for selling. They were joined to a computer port and mainly used to capture video images from any source. However, due to developments in technology, they are now provided as a part of display adapters in video capturing boards and computers.

The ability of image and video processing technologies of frame grabbers has resulted in their use in machine vision and computer vision systems to a large extent. These devices were used in the past to provide connectivity between minicomputers and analog cameras that need digital signals.

The rising demand for efficient image sensing is increasing the use of frame grabbers in machine vision systems. Expanding data bandwidth is further contributing to market growth. Moreover, the higher processing capacity of these devices has proved to be suitable for superior machine vision systems. Primarily uses that require image data rates higher than 120 MB need frame grabber solutions in the vision systems.

AIA’s CameraLink that offers control signals and high-speed triggers to the camera was the very first vision-specific digital interface to form the industry standard. CameraLink has the ability to transfer image data at a rate of around 850 MB/second at a distance of 10 meters. Thus, CameraLink is a leading interface for frame grabber and camera applications.

Developed countries are witnessing a rising demand for the technology across car manufacturers and various industry verticals. The rising need for robotics in industries and factories is fueling the use of the grabbers market.

Advanced Application Analysis

The web inspection advanced application segment held the largest frame grabber market share based on revenue and shipment in 2016 and is expected to maintain its lead throughout the projected period. However, the industrial camera manufacturer division is expected to account for the highest CAGR based on shipments and revenue from 2017 to 2025.

Industrial cameras have application in military, civil-municipal, industrial, and medical verticals mainly for different inspection and automation purposes. Developments in the technology are resulting in the deployment of superior features in frame grabbers like self-learning software, which prevents the need for camera configuration files.

System integrators & suppliers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are the major end-users of industrial cameras. Moreover, industrial camera vision systems are observing surging demand from hyperspectral imaging, three-dimensional (3D) imaging, and artificial intelligence sectors.

End-Use Customers Market Size

The manufacturers accounted for the dominant position with the highest shipments and revenue in 2016. Manufacturers produce their independent products by gathering hardware components from OEMs and other suppliers in the domain. In the report, we have referred to manufacturers as basically the global industry participants of the machine vision systems. The manufacturers produce their independent machine systems along with the necessary software and hardware like cameras, frame grabbers, lightings, and sensors.

System integrators consist of companies producing, designing, and gathering various components according to the customer requirements and assembling products to manufacture and supply the products/end-user systems. System indicators are customer-centric and emphasize assembly and product development according to the customized product orders.

System integrators like Epic Vision Systems, Artemis Vision, Vision ICS, RNA Automation Limited, and Incorporated mainly assemble end products. System integrators emphasize providing customized systems to customers and gather components to deliver in the market.

Regional Analysis

Europe has a higher number of machine vision system manufacturers as compared to system integrators and OEMs. The dominance of the region is attributed to its superior manufacturing practices.

North America is predicted to observe a rise in the sales of these systems and other components, like software and hardware sales by 2025. The companies in the region aim at buying equipment for different industrial processes, manufacturing practices, and operation to boost production and manufacturing operations. Thus, the regional market is expected to observe substantial growth based on shipments and revenue.

The Asia Pacific accounts for a notable share in the frame grabber market due to the onset of technology and its importance among manufacturing and industrial automation sectors. Machine vision systems have application in all prominent industry verticals including robotics, electronics, defense and aerospace, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals & chemicals, and healthcare &medical. The region being a semiconductor hub and a center of the emerging automotive sector has stimulated the demand for different technologies. The rising efforts by regional industrialists to enhance and escalate production processes in various verticals are paving their way to rising demand for frame grabbers.
