Sales in the machine vision industry rise sharply
The machine vision industry is doing well. This is suggested by figures published by the VDMA. Turnover increased by nine per cent in 2016. A record total of 2.2 billion euros was achieved. Growth was driven by exports, which increased by 14 per cent. Domestic sales only grew by three per cent. According to VDMA estimates, things are looking even better for the current year. Initially, the association assumed growth of ten per cent. This forecast has been revised upwards. Turnover of 2.6 million euros is now expected, which would correspond to a whopping 18 per cent increase[/infotext].
