Key Drivers
An Increase in Productivity
Productivity increases and errors are reduced because of automation. Industries are switching their applications to automation reducing the effort of workers and to maintain the quality of product.
Applications in Belt Platforms
The application of optical sorting in belt platforms is likely to provide an impetus to growth. Optical sorting provides high sorting accuracy and low carryover ratio in various applications such as food, recycling, and mining. Belt sorting process improves food quality and minimizes contamination. Its high performing capabilities for frozen food, fresh or dried vegetables, processed food etc. continues to garner the attention of end-users.
High Accuracy of NIR Sorters and Hyper-spectral Cameras
NIR sorters use infrared imaging technology which scans the chemical and then offers accuracy in separating process. Technology driven NIR sorters and cameras allow accurate separation. Mineral sortation process is highly complex and requires maximum effort from the workers. With growing penetration of automation, the process has become very reliable and stress-free. Market players are on a mission to innovate and provide highly efficient methods.

Restraints
High Initial Investment
The advanced technologies used in optical sorter machines increase its expenses and this has been a key factor for reluctance on part of end-users. According to analysis, end-users are aware of the benefits of using optical sorting, however, due to the current investment climate, many are in holding pattern.
Opportunities
Growing demand for IOT-based devices and smart systems
The advent of next-generation technologies such as AI and IOT based devices has augmented the development strategies of the product. As the use of the product is easy, several end-users have been deploying optical sorters on a large scale. In 2018, a waste management company in UK, invested nearly 4.45 lakh pounds in automated sorter to upgrade its plastic processing facility.
Covid-19 impact on Optical sorter market
As the Covid – 19 started, the market saw a decline in manufacturing and demand of optical sorters in the year 2020. Considering the advances in vaccine development, and overall recovery in the economy, it is expected that the long-term prospect of the optical sorting market will be bullish.
