Image Sensor Market by OmniVision Technologies, Inc., (U.S.), Toshiba Corporation (Japan)

"Technology advancements such as the development of Backside Illumination (BSI) are anticipated to drive the market."

The global Image Sensor Market is anticipated to reach USD 26.41 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The industry is poised for unprecedented growth over the forecast period owing to the rising expenditure on security & surveillance in public places across regions and increasing disposable income across the emerging and developing economies. The impact of information technology in the automotive, defense, medical, and industrial application has driven the demand for image sensors over the projected period.

The increasing adoption of technologies for improving anti-terror equipment mitigating the security lapses has demanded better camera resolution, which has further enhanced the market growth. The IP cameras are expected to have significant growth over the forecast period as compared to analog cameras, which is due to higher resolution, secure transmission, ability to cover more distance, high-speed recording, and lower cable cost. Consumer electronics is expected to be the key application segment having significant penetration and is also anticipated to grow at a considerable rate over the forecast period. The leading companies in the market are seeking new revenue sources as the smartphone market is attaining maturity. This has resulted in increased demand for image sensors in the wearable industry and other applications.

The increasing R&D expenditure on the deployment to have raw material access is expected to compel the backward integration at the buyer’s end. For instance, Beijing-based Hua Capital Management Co., Ltd. planned to acquire U.S-based OmniVision Technologies, Inc. in 2016 to overcome the supply shortage in the market.
