Global And China Automated Optical Inspection(AOI) Industry Report,2014-2018

NEW YORK, January 8, 2015 / PRNewswire / - Optical inspection is an inspection method of defects in the objectives of the test by comparing images of targets on evidence obtained through optical imaging (after processing and analyzed with specific processing algorithm) with standard Template images. Generally speaking, the inspection automated optical inspection (AOI), X-ray machine (AXI) and automated visual inspection (AVI) all fall into the category of AOI. The main products of optical inspection available in the market are now the AOI, AXI and few. Fewer companies are engaged in the manufacture of products AVI.

Currently, AOI is mainly applied to industries and TFT-LCD PCB. But for China, the penetration of the AOI in the two industries is still quite low, with only 20% -30% of the production lines in the PCB industry equipped with AOI. Some companies have developed products AOI applied to semiconductors, trackpad, and LED and solar cell industries. Market demands for AOI in the future will come mainly from the following three aspects: new projects and PCB industries TFL-LCD; production lines that are not equipped with AOI in the industries of TFT-LCD PCB ads, and other industries.

Globally, companies AOI more market share converge on Israel, Japan and South Korea, all of which have China as its key foreign markets. Top 5 companies in the world by revenue in 2013 were AOI Orbotech (Israel), Omron (Japan), KohYoung Technology (South Korea), Camtek (Israel) and (Japan) screen.

In the Chinese market AOI, no company in China could manufacture equipment AOI before 2004, and the equipment was imported mainly from Israel, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Since May 2004, when the predecessor AOI equipment R & D of ALeader developed first set of AOI China, more and more companies AOI have been established to engage in R & D, production and sale of equipment AOI. Therefore, OEMs AOI Chinese settled since 2005 and are mainly distributed in the regions that have advanced electronic information industry as the Pearl River Delta led by Shenzhen Yangtze River Delta led by Shanghai, and Bohai bay Rim led by Beijing. For now, Chinese manufacturers mainly produce AOI AOI equipment for PCB. In the various industries PCB as TFT-LCD, IC, LED, solar cells, localization rate AOI equipment is extremely low, almost totally dependent on imports.

At present, foreign brands occupy more than 60% market AOI Chinese. These companies have a powerful force in technology R & D and its products have high stability, reliability and fast speed. Consequently, unit prices are generally several times to ten times that of the products manufactured in China. In 2013, foreign companies, which are quite high market share in China were Orbotech AOI, TRI, Omron and Camtek. Among local Chinese companies, Aleader (formally established in August 2005), Jutze Intelligence (established in November 2007), EKT-Tech (founded in May 2006), Technology Xing Zhenhua (created in February 2007), Zhejiang Ovi technology (founded in November 2008) and Shenzhen JT Automation Equipment (AOI has entered the market by acquiring Software Earn Shenzhen in August 2009) are Chinese companies with larger market share and strong R & D strength.
