Colour Detection Sensor Market Report by Type (Colour Sensor, Contrast Sensor, Luminescence Sensor, and Others), End User (Food and Beverage, Medical, Chemical, Textile, Automotive, Factory Automation, and Others), and Region 2024-2032

The global colour detection sensor market size reached US$ 2.1 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 3.8 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6% during 2024-2032. The rising adoption of discreet RGB sensors instead of white ambient light sensors in smart devices, the expanding popularity of photography and videography, and continual technological advancements in the manufacturing of optical software represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Colour detection sensors illuminate a wide range of wavelengths, calculate the light ratio, and identify the red, blue, green, and white primary colors. The sensors illuminate the test objects with red, green, and blue LEDs. The chromaticity coordinates are calculated from the reflected radiation and compared with stored reference colours to detect the colour of a surface and cast LEDs on the object to be tested. Users can associate the specific characteristics of the target with the values stored in the internal memory of the sensor using a colour recognition channel. Depending on the intensity light ratio, a switching output is engaged if the colour values are within the set tolerance range. Colour detection sensors are useful for monitoring ambient light CCT and intensity, packaging and printing, plastics, and measuring chemical parameters.

Colour Detection Sensor Market Trends:
The market is primarily driven by the rising adoption of discreet RGB sensors instead of white ambient light sensors in smart devices. This can be attributed to the increasing sales of smart devices, such as smartphones, laptops and tablets, across the globe. In line with this, the expanding popularity of photography and videography using digital cameras as well as built-in smartphone cameras is leading to the higher adoption of colour detection sensors on the global level. Moreover, rapid industrial automation has further increased the demand for optical sensors across numerous industry verticals, such as automotive and heavy machinery, which, in turn, is fueling the market growth. Continual technological advancements in the manufacturing of optical software resulting in the development of colour sensors with clear output of reading intensity and colour value are also impacting the market positively. In addition to this, the rapid product utilization in various quality control applications across the textile industry, including fabric colour tone identification, is acting as a significant growth-inducing factor for the market. Furthermore, the escalating demand for high colour intensity components and RGB sensor applications in agrotech for weed detection, changes in crop patterns, and pest protection is creating a positive market outlook. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include rapid urbanization, rapid digitization, increasing penetration of high-speed internet, inflating disposable income levels and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.
