Event Camera Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032
Growth Factors of Event Camera Market
The event camera market size was valued at USD 219.4 million in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 224.8 million in 2024 to USD 293.8 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.
Featuring high temporal resolution, event cameras have the ability to capture and detect rapid changes in the scene. This makes them ideal for applications that need precise timing, including autonomous vehicles, fast-moving object tracking, and robotics. The surging demand for autonomous driving is set to propel market growth. Moreover, neuromorphic vision systems are being demanded by many OEMs in the automotive sector to assist ADAS applications and improve autonomous driving functionality. High growth in automotive applications is consistently being observed by this emerging technology due to the growing demand for driver assistance systems.
Despite an expanding scope for the adoption of the product, the availability of alternative products may hamper event camera market growth. These products need well-developed infrastructure, including software libraries and standardized interfaces for event-based data.
The COVID-19 pandemic substantially impacted different industries, particularly manufacturing sectors. However, it led to a surge in product demand for ADAS systems, robotics, automation, and surveillance applications. The slowdown in the economy led to a significant reduction in the demand for AR/VR systems and automotive systems, eventually affecting bio-inspired image sensors.
