The X-ray foreign body inspection machine market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $25.74 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing use of single-use packaging, increasing focus on minimizing food waste, rise in export-oriented food production, increasing complexity of packaging designs, and focus on reducing human error in quality control processes. Major trends in the forecast period include development in image processing technologies, adoption of multi-lane X-ray inspection systems, integration of X-ray inspection machines with data analytics platforms, integration with Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and adoption of portable X-ray inspection systems.

The increasing demand for packaged food is likely to drive the growth of the X-ray foreign body inspection machine market. Packaged food, which includes ready-to-eat or easily prepared items sealed in containers to preserve freshness and extend shelf life, is becoming more popular due to busy lifestyles and urbanization. X-ray inspection machines play a crucial role by detecting foreign materials such as metal, glass, and plastic in packaged foods, thereby ensuring consumer safety and maintaining brand trust without disrupting the manufacturing process. This enhances brand reputation and ensures compliance with safety regulations. For example, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada reported in October 2023 that processed food and beverage exports reached a record high of $54.3 billion in 2022, representing a 14.1% increase from 2021. Consequently, the rising demand for packaged food is fueling growth in the X-ray foreign body inspection machine market.

Companies in the X-ray foreign body inspection machine market are advancing their technology to improve product safety. These systems use X-ray imaging to scan products on production lines, producing high-resolution images to detect and analyze foreign objects and internal defects. This technology helps identify hidden contaminants or quality issues not visible on the surface. For instance, in May 2023, Mettler-Toledo International Inc., a U.S.-based analytical laboratory instrument manufacturer, introduced the X2 Series of X-ray systems. This series includes the ContamPlus software, which can detect a wide range of contaminants such as glass, metal, mineral stone, calcified bone, dense plastic, and rubber compounds. The X2 Series also features a hygienic front-opening design for easy cleaning and maintenance, along with a modular structure that enhances service and handling. Available in two models, X12 and X32, with customizable sizes (800, 1300, 1800, and 2000 mm), the X2 Series offers flexibility to meet various manufacturing needs.

In July 2023, Nikon Americas Inc., a U.S.-based electronics manufacturer, acquired Avonix Imaging LLC for an undisclosed amount.
