Global $71+ Billion Computer-Based Sensing Market Outlook 2026-2030 - Featuring Profiles of IBM, Intel, Microsoft and Other Key Players Dublin, Aug. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Computer-Based Sensing Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global computer-based sensing market is experiencing rapid expansion, supported by increasing automation, artificial intelligence integration and demand for real-time monitoring. The market is projected to grow from $59.48 billion in 2025 to $71.25 billion in 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.8%. Historical growth has been driven by sensor integration in industrial systems, greater automation across manufacturing processes, the adoption of embedded systems in consumer electronics and the expansion of machine vision for quality inspection.

Looking ahead, the computer-based sensing market is forecast to reach $147.81 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 20%. Growth during the forecast period is expected to be supported by the rapid adoption of AI-powered sensing systems, autonomous vehicles, robotics, edge computing analytics and smart infrastructure. Rising demand for predictive maintenance is also creating opportunities for sensing technologies that help organizations improve equipment performance, reduce downtime and strengthen operational efficiency.

Key computer-based sensing market trends include the development of sensor fusion systems for intelligent perception, edge AI-enabled real-time analytics and embedded vision technologies. Manufacturers and technology developers are also investing in low-power, miniaturized smart sensors and context-aware sensing architectures. These innovations are advancing applications across industrial automation, transportation, healthcare, logistics, consumer electronics and digital infrastructure.

The growing adoption of robotics and intelligent machines is a major factor driving market expansion. Organizations are deploying automated systems to improve productivity, precision and operational consistency across manufacturing, logistics and healthcare environments. Advanced sensing technologies allow these systems to monitor surrounding conditions, process data and support faster decision-making. According to the International Federation of Robotics, approximately 4.28 million industrial robots were operational worldwide in 2023, an increase of 10% compared with 2022. Continued investment in industrial robotics is expected to generate sustained demand for computer-based sensing solutions.

Market participants are prioritizing edge AI-based sensing solutions, including embedded vision processing, to improve real-time performance while reducing dependence on cloud infrastructure. Localized processing can lower latency, strengthen data privacy and reduce bandwidth requirements in robotics, industrial automation and smart infrastructure applications. In September 2024, Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation collaborated with Raspberry Pi to launch the Raspberry Pi AI Camera. The device incorporates Sony's intelligent vision sensing technology, supports on-device AI image processing and enables real-time object recognition for low-latency sensing applications.

Strategic acquisitions are also supporting innovation in advanced imaging and sensing technologies. In July 2025, ZEISS acquired full equity ownership of Pi Imaging Technology SA for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition is intended to strengthen ZEISS's sensing and imaging capabilities while accelerating the development of advanced sensor technologies for scientific imaging, industrial inspection and digital measurement systems. Pi Imaging Technology's photon-counting image sensors and high-speed imaging technologies are expected to enhance the development of next-generation optical and computer-based sensing solutions.
