Global SMT Automated X-ray Inspection (AXI) Market Growth 2025-2031

The global SMT Automated X-ray Inspection (AXI) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 311 million in 2025 to US$ 455 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2025 to 2031.

SMT inspection equipment is several inspection equipment that mainly be used in SMT application and mainly includes AOI, SPI and AXI inspection equipment.

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.

Automated X-ray Inspection (AXI) is a critical technology used in the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) industry for inspecting electronic components and printed circuit boards (PCBs). It helps in identifying defects such as solder joint issues, missing components, misalignment, and other quality-related concerns. Some of the major drivers and trends include:
