Electronics.ca Publications, a leading market research and knowledge grid for the electronics firm, declares the accessibility of a novel report on "Image Sensors Market Report."
Image sensors are classified into charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) categories. The CMOS technology has resulted in the development of a successful, lucrative camera phone market. The applications of image sensor market encompasses consumer electronics comprising digital cameras, smartphones camcorders, video game consoles, PC solutions like Webcams, manufacturing, observation and security applications in industries and medical market applications. The automotive sector involving the driver safety and assistance areas is also proving successful for image sensor markets. The intense requirement of such imagers will lead to rapid developments of innovative technologies in this area.
The market of image sensors in Asia Pacific region with $3.3 billion in 2010 is likely to exceed 10% yearly by 2015. Taiwanese and Korean markets also dominated the camera phones market. Japan has conventionally surpassed image sensor manufacture, and is now producing more than 90 % of the CCDs globally, reaching $2.2 billion in 2010.
The image sensor market in America exceeded 3 % in 2007 to about 12 % in 2010. Europe’s market reached $416 million and is predicted to increase 6 % in the current year.
