What Is The Estimated Industry Size Of Optical Sorter Market?
The market for optical sorters has seen swift expansion in past few years. It is projected to increase from a market size of $3.05 billion in 2024 to $3.45 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.0%. This surge in growth during the previous years can be ascribed to factors such as the rising demand for better food safety and quality control procedures, growing labor shortages in industrial processing sectors, intensifying environmental regulations, more adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies, and the escalation in urbanization and waste production.

The size of the optical sorter market is set to experience swift expansion in the years to come. Growth is projected to reach $5.55 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. This predicted growth within the projected period can be credited to factors like increased usage of multi-sensor and hyperspectral sorting, an uptick in product recalls due to contamination, a growing trend of plastics sorting and recovery, elevated demand in budding economies, and mounting inspection and sorting costs. Notable trends for the predicted period encompass advancements in hyperspectral imaging technology, data analytics powered by technology, fusion of multi-sensors enabled through technology, development of more user-friendly interfaces, and evolution of modular sorter architectures.

What Are The Major Factors Driving The Optical Sorter Global Market Growth?
The continued rise in the need for automation is anticipated to drive the expansion of the optical sorter market. Automation is the application of technology, systems, or machinery to execute tasks with little to no human involvement, with the primary goal being to enhance overall efficiency, precision, and productivity. The escalating demand for automation stems from its potential to substantially cut down operational expenses by enhancing efficiency, limiting errors, and maximizing the use of resources. Optical sorters amplify automation by facilitating speedy, accurate, and uniform sorting procedures, which lessen the need for manual input and boost complete operational efficiency. For example, the International Federation of Robotics, a non-governmental organization based in Germany, recorded 44,303 installations of industrial robots in 2023, marking a 12% increase from the prior year. Hence, the burgeoning demand for automation is vastly contributing to the progress of the optical sorter market.

What Are The Main Trends, Positively Impacting The Growth Of Optical Sorter Market?
Key players in the optical sorter market are turning their attention to the creation of novel technologies, such as Merlin artificial intelligence sorting algorithms, in an effort to sharpen sorting accuracy and boost operational effectiveness. The Merlin artificial intelligence sorting algorithms are sophisticated systems rooted in machine learning. These systems analyze product images in actual time and make extremely accurate sorting decisions, facilitating faster and more exact material segregation in optical sorters. For example, in June 2022, Swiss Bühler Group, a multinational plant equipment production firm based in Switzerland, introduced the SORTEX H. This advanced optical sorter combines Merlin artificial intelligence algorithms and the latest sensors to provide superior sorting accuracy, effortless connectivity, and operational simplicity across a range of domains, including food, recycling, and industrial processes. Powered by MerlinAI, the sorter enables an exceptionally accurate, AI-based detection of defects with the precise control for individual defect removal. It also comes with enhanced connectivity and real-time monitoring, which helps to increase precision and productivity. With a user-friendly interface, high-definition cameras, and remote diagnostic features, this system epitomizes the standard for accessible and eco-friendly optical sorting solutions.
