Dublin, Oct. 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/k27r9j/image_sensors)
has announced the addition of the "Global
Image Sensor Market (2013 - 2018) By Technology (CCD, CMOS, Contact
IS, Infrared, X-ray, FSI, BSI); Applications (Healthcare,
Surveillance, Automobile, Consumer, Defense, Industrial); Geography
(North America, Europe, APAC, ROW)" report to their
offering.
Image sensors are present since the advent of digital cameras and
image reproducing devices. Since early 1990s, image sensors have
evolved from a simple single array CCD to a complex 3D array
digital SLR image sensors. Apart from cameras, image sensors are
experiencing a heavy adoption in applications such as security and
surveillance, automobile drive assistance, and machine vision. All
these applications are driven by the demand for a system and
process automation. Healthcare segment is also identified as one of
the major industry vertical for image sensors. Image sensors assist
in endoscopy, dentistry, oncology, X-rays, and Microscopy. The
research conducted suggests that the healthcare devices are the
major drivers of the enterprise image sensor market.
The introduction of low cost CMOS resulted in the emergence of the
integrated camera market. These miniature cameras are integrated in
the multi-media devices such as; mobile phones, tablets, PDAs, and
Notebooks. This segment of the image sensor is a high volume
segment as identified from the research findings. The report
forecasts the volume as well as value based market for the image
sensors used for consumer applications.
The total image sensors market is also segmented according to
various technologies and capabilities the sensor exhibit. The
report includes quantitative data analysis for the sensor types
such as; CCD, CMOS, Hybrid, and CID. The demand for x-ray receivers
and infrared cameras has given rise to various image
sensors operating at different wave lengths. Three types;
visible, infrared, and x-ray image sensors are included for the
analysis. The total market is also divided by substrate type
(Silicon and Indium Phosphide), array type (linear, 2D, and 3D),
and by formats (VGA and PAL). The division and analysis of the
market by sensor types and technologies gives an in-depth
understanding of emerging sensor types, flagship sensor types, and
declining sensor types.
It has been observed from the study that the value chain of the
image sensors is well established and has a strong global presence.
For example, most of the sensor manufactures and foundries are
situated in APAC region, whereas other market contributors such as;
fables players, technology developers, and system integrators are
based in the U.S. The research study analyses the entire value
chain and identifies the burning issues and market winning
imperatives affect the image sensor market. Also, critical market
pointers such as; price trend analysis, porter's five force model
of image sensor market, market dynamics, and manufactures
competitiveness mapping are elaborated in the report.
