Global Automated X-ray Inspection Systems Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Automated X-ray Inspection Systems market size is predicted to grow from US$ 644 million in 2025 to US$ 1057 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2025 to 2031.

X-ray inspection technology, commonly referred to as automated X-ray inspection (AXI), is a technique used to examine hidden features of target objects or products that use X-rays as a source. Generally, there are manual x-ray inspection and automated X-ray inspection, we only focus on the automated X-ray inspection (AXI) market.

In the SMT industry, Automated X-ray inspection, or AXI, is a technology that uses X-rays to examine the features of a printed circuit board, semiconductor package, or power modules that are hidden from view and therefore cannot be captured by automated optical inspection (AOI), which uses visible light as its source.

X-ray inspection is also widely used in lots of applications such as medical, industrial control, and aerospace for control the quality of board assemblies and to analyze defects of hidden solder joints. X-ray has a unique advantage that is materials absorb X-rays proportional to their atomic weight and all materials absorb the X-ray radiation differently depending on their density, atomic number and thickness. Generally speaking, materials made of heavier elements absorb more X-rays and are easily imaged, while materials made of lighter elements are more transparent to X-rays.

At present, AXI technology has been widely used in product detection in lithium battery, semiconductor, solar photovoltaic, integrated circuit, electronic manufacturing, PCB, LED, die casting and other industries.
