Video Inspection Equipment Market Report 2026

The video inspection equipment market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.52 billion in 2025 to $1.59 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to aging pipeline and sewer infrastructure, growth in oil and gas exploration activities, expansion of manufacturing and construction sectors, regulatory focus on safety inspections, rising adoption of non-destructive testing methods.

The video inspection equipment market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.87 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing infrastructure modernization projects, demand for real-time remote inspection capabilities, rising investments in smart utilities, expansion of industrial automation, growing focus on predictive maintenance strategies. Major trends in the forecast period include miniaturization of video inspection devices, growing demand for non-destructive testing solutions, increased adoption in preventive maintenance programs, rising use of portable and handheld inspection systems, customization of inspection systems for industry-specific applications.

The rising number of construction projects is anticipated to drive the growth of the video inspection equipment market in the coming years. Construction projects encompass the planning, development, renovation, and maintenance of physical buildings and infrastructure. The growth in construction activity is largely driven by increasing urbanization, rising infrastructure development needs, and overall economic growth. Within construction projects, video inspection equipment enables accurate assessment of structures, supporting quality assurance and the early detection of potential defects. For example, in July 2023, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australian government authority, reported that during the March quarter of 2023, the number of dwellings under construction increased by 1.3% to 240,813 units. This exceeded the previous record of 240,065 units recorded in the March 2022 quarter. As a result, the expansion of construction projects is contributing significantly to the growth of the video inspection equipment market.

Leading companies in the video inspection equipment market are actively pursuing innovation, particularly in the development of products such as drop camera systems, to gain a competitive advantage. A drop camera system is an underwater imaging device that typically consists of a camera attached to a cable or rope. It is designed to be lowered into bodies of water for capturing visual data of aquatic environments, marine life, or submerged structures. In February 2023, Ashtead Technology Inc., a UK-based subsea technology company, launched a standard drop camera system specifically tailored for high-resolution seabed visual inspection, capable of operating in water depths of up to 4000 meters. This advanced system offers a depth rating of 1000 meters as standard, extendable to 4000 meters using sonar coaxial cable technology. It provides uninterrupted real-time HD 720P video streaming during surveys, capturing 16.6-megapixel digital stills and impressive 4K video footage for post-survey analysis. The topside system, featuring a digital video recorder, ensures smooth high-definition video recording in real time, complemented by Ashtead Technology's exclusive drop camera system control software. This innovative software allows users to fine-tune camera position, orientation, and light intensity within the frame, ensuring optimal imagery quality. With a capability to deliver 4 x 9000 lumens of light intensity, the topside software further enhances the visual inspection process.

In February 2024, Siemens AG, a technology company based in Germany, acquired Inspekto for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances Siemens' industrial AI portfolio by incorporating Inspekto's advanced AI-powered machine vision technology for automated quality inspection. Inspekto, also based in Germany, specializes in automated visual inspection systems driven by AI.
