Brussels to host EMVA business conference
By Thomas Lübkemeier
Te EMVA quarterly machine vision sales report shows a strong third quarter for this year compared to 2020. Sales grew by 16 per cent compared to the same quarter last year and by 2 per cent compared to the previous quarter. However, the sales outlook from suppliers representing the industry has weakened throughout the year. While in the first quarter of this year a big majority voted for future growth, the sentiment scores have become more diverse in the third quarter, with a tendency towards flat sales expectations.
Spotlight series Te second event in the EMVA Spotlight series took place in the middle of
November, with market research expert Yole Développement giving insights on the market development prospects of machine vision over the next five years.
