The growing demand for digital transformation is expected to drive the growth of the equipment inspection software market in the coming years. Digital transformation involves integrating digital technologies into all aspects of an organization to fundamentally improve operations, value delivery, and adaptability to changing market conditions. This rising demand is fueled by organizations aiming to boost operational efficiency, enhance customer experiences, and rapidly respond to evolving market needs through innovative technology adoption. For example, in April 2025, the European Commission, a Belgium-based government agency, reported that 74% of all EU enterprises reached a basic level of digital intensity in 2024. Among these, 98% were large enterprises, while small and medium enterprises (SMEs) reached 73%, reflecting significant progress toward the EU’s 2030 digital goals. Therefore, the increasing emphasis on digital transformation is propelling the equipment inspection software market.

Leading companies in the equipment inspection software market are focusing on advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision technologies, such as automated severity classification, to improve the accuracy and efficiency of detecting and prioritizing equipment issues. Automated severity classification uses algorithms to automatically evaluate and categorize the seriousness of defects based on set criteria. For instance, in May 2024, GE Vernova Inc., a US-based electrification, decarbonization, and energy solutions firm, launched Autonomous Inspection, a cloud-based computer vision software that automates industrial equipment inspection by leveraging advanced AI and machine learning. This solution enables real-time image data capture, remote monitoring, and automated analysis, helping organizations across various industries significantly enhance safety and reduce inspection times. By improving asset reliability and streamlining maintenance workflows, it plays a vital role in accelerating digital transformation in operations and maintenance.

In December 2024, Hexagon AB, a Sweden-based technology and software company, acquired 3D Systems’ Geomagic software business for $0.123 billion. This acquisition allows Hexagon to strengthen its software portfolio by incorporating advanced 3D modeling and metrology tools, providing comprehensive solutions for manufacturing quality control and digital design. 3D Systems Corporation, based in the US, specializes in advanced 3D modeling and metrology software used for precise equipment inspection and quality assurance.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the professional services sector, particularly in legal, consulting, architectural, and engineering domains. Higher costs for imported technology, software licenses, office equipment, and digital infrastructure have raised operational expenses for firms reliant on global tools and platforms. International consulting projects are facing delays or cost overruns due to increased travel expenses and restricted access to foreign-sourced data and tools. Additionally, clients in manufacturing, construction, and logistics, heavily affected by tariffs are cutting back on outsourced services, squeezing demand for professional expertise. As a result, service providers are reevaluating pricing structures, expanding domestic supplier relationships, and investing in AI-driven solutions to sustain profitability and client engagement amid economic uncertainty.

Equipment inspection software is a digital tool designed to streamline, schedule, and document the inspection, maintenance, and compliance of equipment across diverse industries. It helps organizations enhance operational efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance, and minimize equipment downtime by automating inspection workflows, capturing real-time data, and producing audit-ready reports.

The primary components of equipment inspection software include software and services. Software consists of instructions, programs, or data that operate computers and execute specific tasks. The various types of inspections include visual inspection, functional inspection, safety inspection, predictive maintenance inspection, preventive maintenance inspection, and others. The equipment covered ranges from industrial machinery, construction equipment, manufacturing equipment, vehicles and fleet equipment, to electrical equipment and more. Deployment options include cloud-based and on-premises solutions, and the software is used by multiple end users such as inspectors and inspecting agencies, equipment owners and operators, and regulatory authorities.
