Vitrox Banks on PCB Inspection Machines

Published: 31 December 2007

Penang, Malaysia - Vitrox expects its first-generation PCB automated optical inspection machines (AOI) to be a major contributor to revenue by 2010, according to StarBiz online magazine.

Managing director Chu Jenn Weng said that three machines would be shipped to China and South Korea next month.

"The global demand for AOI is expected to rise to 1,000 per annum in 2010 from 700 units per annum in 2007. We aim to capture at least 15% of the global market share by 2010" said Weng, adding that the group's present market share was small.

The global market for AOI machines is estimated at $158 million this year and is expected to rise to $224 million by 2010.  

Four major PCB AOI machine manufacturers – located in Germany, USA, and Japan – capture 95% of the market share.
