Growing Demand for Consumer Electronic Products is Favoring the Global Image Sensor Market
Based on their spectrum, image sensors are categorized into visible spectrum and non-visible spectrum. The visible spectrum segment dominates the market due to its adamant application in consumer electronic products, such as smartphones and tablets. With the increasing trend of smartphone photography and consumers' growing interest in producing high-quality images, demand for visible spectrum image sensors is rising globally. On the other hand, the non-visible spectrum is expected to proliferate due to its use in the security, surveillance, and defense sectors, which produce images in low light conditions.
Increasing End-User Industry Utilization Propelling the Demand of Image Sensors
The need for high-quality images in smartphone cameras and CMOS technology is increasing exponentially with technological advancements. Government agencies and military forces have long utilized high-speed imagery to increase ballistic weapon understanding & performance while also learning more about impact physics. Similarly, consumer uses of high-speed image technology originate from the field of automotive crash testing, which drives up demand for CMOS sensors. Due to the inclusion of cameras in smartphones, image capturing has increased dramatically, which, along with lower smartphone penetration rates, is expected to boost the global image sensors market.
Area Image Sensors Are Anticipated to Witness Highest CAGR During the Forecast Period
The global image sensor market is segmented into linear and area image sensors based on array types. Linear image sensors hold the largest market share because they are used in various electronic devices for image processing, such as cash machines, barcode readers, line scan cameras, image scanners, and copy machines. However, the area image sensors are anticipated to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growing application of image sensors in the automotive industry for making camera-enabled systems for automatic emergency braking, autonomous driving, etc., is propelling the growth of area image sensors in the global image sensors market.
Global Image Sensor Market - By Resolution
Based on resolutions, the global image sensor market is categorized into VGA, 3 MP to 3 MP, 5 MP to 10 MP, 12 MP to 16 MP, and more than 16 MP. Among these, the 12 MP to 16 MP segment accounts for the largest market share. These resolution image sensors are prominently used in budget smartphones because of their low prices, thereby fueling their market demand. On the other hand, the growing application of 12 MP to 16 MP image sensors in automotive plays a crucial role in driving market growth.
Global Image Sensor Market - Regional Insights
Geographically, the global image sensor market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle-East & Africa. The Asia-Pacific region dominates the global image sensor market and is also anticipated to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
