What are Some Prominent Drivers Spearheading Image Sensor Market Growth?

The major factor driving the adoption of Image Sensors is the increasing usage of mobile devices with a dual camera feature that has increased the demand for image sensors. Another factor helping the Image Sensors market to grow is the increasing demand for selfie phones which has also increased the demand for image sensors with better front cameras. Image sensors are also increasingly adopted due to the availability of low-cost CMOS image sensors used for implementation in mobile devices.

With the integration of cameras into smartphones, image capturing has increased significantly, along with the growing smartphone penetration rate, set to drive the image sensors market in the forecasting period. The CMOS technology has been witnessing a high adoption rate, as it provides a faster shutter speed while delivering high-quality images. This also drives the growth of the image sensor market. For instance, in December 2021 - Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (Sony) announced the launch of the world’s number 1 stacked CMOS image sensor technology with a 2-Layer Transistor Pixel.

What are the Challenges Faced by the Image Sensor Industry?

No market is devoid of challenges and the global image sensor market is no exception. One of the primary factors restraining market growth is the high cost of manufacturing these image sensors. With the growing demand for smartphones along with front camera features and high-megapixel cameras, manufacturers have to invest more in image sensors and in making high-quality image sensors.

The complex manufacturing process of high-resolution image sensors and higher power consumption in CCD image sensors are the factors that may hinder the growth of the global image sensors market during the forecasting period.
