Global Automated X-ray Inspection Systems Market size was valued at USD 577 million in 2026. The market is projected to grow from USD 628 million in 2026 to USD 1100 million by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period (2026-2034). This expansion tracks rising non-destructive testing needs in high-volume electronics assembly.

Automated X-ray inspection systems direct microfocus X-ray sources (50-225kV) through targets onto flat-panel or line-scan detectors, generating 2D/3D tomosynthesis images revealing density contrasts for defect mapping. Systems automate oblique-angle scanning of BGA balls (50-500μm pitch), wire bonds, and void analysis via reconstructed CT slices at 1-5μm voxel resolution. Deployed inline post-reflow for SMT lines inspecting 10-100 boards/min, in semiconductor back-end for die-attach voids, EV battery fabs for tab welds/anode alignment, and LED encapsulants for filament cracks, they integrate AI classifiers achieving >99% POD at 500ms/cycle.
