The optical
sorter market is expected to grow from USD 2.6 billion in 2022 to USD 4.1
billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 9.9% during the forecast period. Growing focus on
automation to increase productivity in various industries is expected to drive
the optical sorter market. Automated sorting is becoming a necessary component
of many food processing operations, and the demand for this technology is
increasing to provide consistent product quality and traceability of all
foreign materials. Increasing adoption in the food industry for food processing
activities and for reducing process and delivery time are also are facilitating
the growth of optical sorter market. Hence, the demand for optical sorters is
increasing in food applications for increasing productivity and reducing costs.
Rapid development of blockchain technology in retail & supply chain
management applications. Also, Increase in wages of the manual workforce in
various countries is one of the main drivers for the optical sorter market.
Although the optical sorter market is growing at a
steady pace, it is moderately competitive owing to the presence of several
players such as OMRA (Norway), Bühler (Switzerland), Hefei Meyer Optoelectronic
Technology (China), Satake (Japan), and Allgaier Werke (Germany) venturing into
continuous R&D in the optical sorter market. Key strategies adopted by
these players to enhance their product portfolios, increase their market share,
and expand their presence in the market mainly include product launches, deals
(acquisitions, partnerships, agreements, and contracts), and others
(expansions) were the major growth strategies adopted by the players in the
optical sorter market. These strategies enabled them to efficiently cater to
the growing demand for optical sorter and expand their global footprint by
offering their products globally.

For instance, in October 2021, TOMRA (Norway)
demonstrated the companys current food processing solutions - TOMRA 3A. The
TOMRA 3A optical sorter is the companys most robust, reliable, and cost-effective
field optical sorter. It has a high throughput of up to 100 tons per hour and
provides superior sorting quality while significantly reducing labor costs. In
October 2021, Key Technology (US) unveiled its VERYX digital sorters for pet
food. VERYX detects and removes foreign material (FM) and defective products to
improve product quality and eliminate the possibility of cross-contamination.
Apart from this, players have also adopted acquisition, partnership and
expansion strategies to enhance their product portfolio and geographical reach.
For instance, in November 2021, TOMRA (Norway) partnered with and IVAR IKS
(Norway) and demonstrated that mixed waste sorting prior to disposal is a
better solution than separate collection. IVAR recognized the need to improve
its waste management methods and decided to partner up with TOMRA on a test
analysis. According to test results, TOMRA’s AUTOSORT machines recovered 90% of
the mid-sized (60-150 mm) and large (150-320 mm) plastic fractions from the
household waste. Further TOMRA (Norway) also did one expansion in 2021. In
December 2021, TOMRA (Norway) opened a new regional headquarters to enhance its
support of food processors and packers across Latin America. The new
purpose-built base in Santiago (Chile) illustrates TOMRA Food’s and its two
sister companies, Compac and BBC Technologies, having a strong presence in the
region, which contributes significantly to the global supply of fruits, nuts,
vegetables, potato products, grains and seeds, dried fruits, meat, and seafood.
