Sensors have quickly become an indispensable element of modern vehicles, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), medical devices and automated production technologies. Sensors have also become more affordable, robust, precise, specific, frequent smarter and communicative. Their benefits will make them attractive options for deployment in future smart infrastructure systems; due to superior image quality and sensitivity of Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) technology this was previously the dominant solution used.

Since 2004, due to technological developments, CMOS image sensors have outshone CCD image sensors in terms of volume of shipment since 2004. CCD sensors utilize high voltage analog circuitry while CMOS uses less power and has smaller dimensions; CCD remains more popular due to increased revenue generated for growth in image sensors market growth.

Firstly, the continuous evolution of camera technologies and the proliferation of smartphones have revolutionized the consumer electronics sector. The demand for high-resolution imaging capabilities, augmented reality (AR) applications, and enhanced camera features in smartphones has been a major driving force behind the growth of the image sensors market.

Additionally, the automotive industry has witnessed a rapid integration of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving technologies. Image sensors play a crucial role in enabling these systems by providing accurate and real-time information for object detection, lane departure warnings, and adaptive cruise control. The increasing adoption of electric vehicles and the rising trend of in-car entertainment systems further contribute to the demand for image sensors in the automotive sector.

Furthermore, the healthcare industry has embraced the use of image sensors in medical devices such as endoscopes, surgical cameras, and X-ray machines. These sensors facilitate precise imaging, aiding medical professionals in diagnostics, minimally invasive surgeries, and patient monitoring. The growing emphasis on telemedicine and remote patient monitoring is also expected to drive the demand for image sensors in the healthcare sector.

In the realm of security and surveillance, image sensors have become indispensable components in surveillance cameras, facial recognition systems, and biometric scanners. The need for enhanced security measures across residential, commercial, and public sectors, coupled with the increasing adoption of smart city initiatives, is propelling the image sensors market forward.

To cater to the evolving market demands, leading companies in the image sensors industry are heavily investing in research and development activities to develop advanced sensor technologies. Innovations such as backside-illuminated (BSI) sensors, stacked CMOS sensors, and time-of-flight (ToF) sensors are gaining prominence, enabling improved image quality, higher resolutions, and faster data processing.

Top Trends in Global Image Sensors Market

Many vendors are now adopting CMOS image sensor technology, signalling its rapid advancement into low-cost camera designs. Although compared with CCD sensors for image quality at similar price points, CMOS sensors have grown increasingly popular due to their on-chip functionality in low-cost consumer markets like consumer electronics, automotive security, surveillance and others.

Consumer electronics has seen an explosion of demand for smartphones equipped with both rear- and front-facing cameras, driven largely by autonomous vehicles equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that enhance driver safety. Furthermore, as CMOS images can be utilized as security applications even under low light or dim light lighting conditions - their usage has skyrocketed as security applications become ever more critical in business operations.

Sony Corporation of Japan holds an unparalleled position in the CMOS sensor market and was the pioneer for commercializing automotive cameras equipped with their sensors. To increase production capacity of stacked image sensors for automotive cameras, Sony invested USD 895 Million (105 Billion JPY).

SmartSens is an industry leader when it comes to CMOS image sensors. Recently they unveiled the SC550XS ultra-high resolution 50MP image sensor featuring 1.0 micrometer pixels - using SmartSens' proprietary technologies including SmartClarity-2, SFCPixel and PixGainHDR technologies to produce superior picture quality while using 22nm HKMG Stack process for outstanding imaging performance.

Metalenz, an international start-up that develops meta-optic lens technology, recently unveiled an innovation that embeds polarization sensing capabilities directly into mobile and consumer devices - improving healthcare management features and ultimately revolutionising healthcare management features.

Competitive Landscape

Sony Corporation
Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd
ON Semiconductor Corporation 
and STMicroelectronics Co. Ltd
They are leading the imaging sensor market share.

Image sensor manufacturers are continuously making innovations to their products that offer more robust, accurate sensing at lower costs - Time-Of-Fight technology (TOF) has emerged as a game-changer here.

Recent Trends of Image Sensor Market

Realme has recently announced the availability of their 9 Pro Series smartphones equipped with Sony's IMX766 image sensors in Europe in February 2022. Each sensor measures 1/1.56", offering large pixels for photography with optical image stabilisation (OIS), along with an aperture size of 0.88 which facilitates taking clear photos even at long range distance.

Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC (SIE), purchased Bungie Inc in January 2022 as an independent videogame developer that had long collaborated with them - they had helped produce iconic titles like Halo and Destiny with them! SIE now gained access to Bungie's technical knowledge as well as world-class live games; increasing SIE's potential reach of billions of gamers around the globe.

  2. Move to strike this post. Data originated from a market.us report in March 2023, and clearly they have no idea.

  3. Breakdown between CCD and CMOS looks strange. CCD are only remaining for some niche (in volume, not in revenues) markets..

    1. Not that I have a vote, but if I did I'd vote to keep this as a reminder of how bad these expert opinion articles get. This one's so bad, it's actually good in a perverse way, and we will be seeing more of this sort of chaff coming up.

  14. This phenomenon is not new. I had a friend who said that he was hired, just after he got his JD from Harvard and a mechanical engineering degree from the U of Michigan, by a famous market research firm (here nameless). They told him to write a report on a topic about which he knew nothing. He protested and they replied, "You are obviously smart. make something up".
