Computer Vision Trends Report 2025

Leading enterprises are increasingly adopting vision AI, or computer vision, to enhance operational excellence across various industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and retail. The "Trends in Vision AI 2025" report highlights the dual revolutions in this field: the development of large general-purpose models and the rise of specialized, efficient models tailored to specific business challenges. These custom AI models require less data for training, often fewer than 1,000 images, and can be rapidly deployed, as 51% of new models are operational within a week of training. Despite varying accuracy levels, the real-world application of these models is prioritized, with iterative retraining significantly enhancing their precision over time. The report also emphasizes how multi-stage AI processes and integrations with other systems can unlock new efficiencies and competitive advantages. Case studies illustrate the practical benefits of vision AI, such as predictive maintenance in mineral production, packaging integrity in food processing, and automated yard management in logistics, showcasing its transformative potential and facilitating tangible business outcomes.
