Inline quality control sensors market: Research Methodology
Both supply and demand side analysis were performed to arrive at the market size for inline qulaity control sensors.
Supply-side analysis
The key manufacturers of various inline quality control sensors were identified and their revenues were recorded from various databases and their annual reports. Segmental revenue was then calculated to determine the percentage of revenue share that is generated from the sales of inline quality control sensors. Various focused group discussions were conducted, supported by interviews with marketing heads of inline quality control sensor manufacturers, independent consultants and distributors among others, to validate the data.
Demand-side analysis
The overall market size for sensors used in automation was determined and the penetration of inline variants for the packaging industry was estimated. Bottom-up analysis was then used to validate the numbers. To estimate the numbers, the demand for inline quality control sensors was mapped for all the key manufacturers and their production facilities.

Key developments & Trends
Inline quality control sensors are mostly used in industries, such as the pharmaceutical industry and the food & beverages industry, where extensive rules and regulations govern the quality of the manufacturing and packaging process. Tasks, such as detecting contamination in packed foods, quality control in packaging processes and ensuring reliable air-tight packaging are critical and therefore, the need of the hour. The global inline quality control sensors market is characterized by constant research and development and frequent upgrades in the sensor technology, which significantly enhances their ability to detect several parameters inline. Some of the key trends in the inline quality control sensors market are –
- Rapid adoption of inline quality control sensors by food & beverage companies to reduce operator interventions and product returns. For instance, a cleaning product manufacturer based in North America recently installed a iVu Plus TG sensor. This sensor helps them identify mislabeled bottles and products which are not aligned correctly for packaging. The sensor was preferred due to its easy setup and highly efficient automated comparison of the products with an approved image.
- Manufacturers are focusing on smart cameras and machine vision systems, which can cater to both portable and inline instrumentation needs of packaging facilities.
- Beverage giants, such as The Coca Cola Company, use high speed cameras which work 24×7, at speeds up to 800 clicks per minute, which is in sync with their bottling capacity.

Inline quality control sensors market: Segmentation
The global inline quality control sensors market has been segmented as –
Based on product type, the global Inline quality control sensors market has been segmented as follows –
- Point profile sensors
- Line profile sensors
- Snapshot sensors
- Point profile sensors usually use a single laser point to scan at very high speeds. The results obtained from the scan can be used to perform functions, such as inspect displacement in a fast-moving process and build a contour or profile along the direction of the movement of the belt.
- Line profile sensors are used to measure the contour or the profile of the surface. They do that by means of a line of laser light. Line profile sensors can generate 3D point cloud for 3D feature inspection. One of the advantages of having line profile sensors is the range of object sizes they are compatible with. Line profile quality control sensors can measure the shape of very small (10 mm) to large width objects (1.5 m), moving at high speed.
- Snapshot sensors are ideal for inline inspection applications in which the object is momentarily stationary. Therefore, they are mostly used for pick and place and similar robotic applications.
Based on end use, the global Inline quality control sensors market has been segmented as follows –
- Food & Beverages
- Pharmaceutical
- Others
The pricing of inline quality control sensors is based on their type and configuration i.e. point profile, line profile and snapshot variants.
Based on geography, the global Inline quality control sensors market has been divided into seven key regions –
- North America
- Latin America
- Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ)
- Western Europe
- Eastern Europe
- Middle East & Africa (MEA)
- Japan
