Global Photo Detectors Market 2023-2030

Global Photo Detectors Market 2023-2030

Global Photo Detectors Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report Market by Product Type (Photon detector, and Thermal detector), by Type (Metal–Semiconductor–Metal (MSM) photodetector, Avalanche photodiode, Phototubes & Photomultipliers, and Other Types), and by Application (Consumer Electronics, Industrial Equipment, Aerospace and Defense, Automobile, and Other Applications) Forecast Period (2023-2030)

The global Photo Detector market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period. Photodetectors are also known as photo sensors and are light sensors or other electromagnetic radiation sensors. According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), in the year 2021, the worldwide sensors market grew 28% to $19.1 billion because of increased demand from communications, automotive, and industrial segments and prices increased for the year and will continue to grow in the upcoming years at a higher rate. During the projected period, the market is likely to be driven by the increasing use of photo detectors in various sectors such as consumer electronics, aerospace, defense, and the automobile industry Currently, the demand for sensors that offer precise output is continuously increasing from different industries. Sensor manufacturers have been adding capacity for instance, in 2022, Bosch, the leading producer of sensors, announced in February it would invest $297 million to create additional production space at its Reutlingen, Germany fab for the production of sensors and other chips.

However, the high initial cost and lack of awareness are anticipated to function as the primary restraints for the growth of the photodetectors market as photo detectors are complex semiconductor devices that require high-precision manufacturing processes. This makes them relatively expensive to develop and manufacture.

Segmental Outlook

The global photo detector market is segmented based on product type, type, and application. Based on product type, the market is segmented into photon detectors and thermal detectors. Based on type, the market is sub-segmented into metal–semiconductor–metal (MSM) photodetector, avalanche photodiode, phototubes and photomultipliers, and other types. Based on application, the market is segmented into consumer electronics, industrial equipment, aerospace and defense, automobile, and other applications. Among these, the industrial segment is expected to hold a considerable market share during the forecast period because of the various uses of sensors in all the processes and activities.

Regional outlook

The global photo detector market is further segmented based on geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa and Latin America). North American region holds a significant market because of the early adoption of new technology and the new innovation in the photo detectors market.

Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share in the Global Photo Detector market

Geographically, the Asia Pacific region holds a sizeable market share due to the presence of major Economies such as China, India, and Japan. The Asia-Pacific region produces a lot of consumer electronics, especially smartphones and tablets, which contain restore recognition and 3D mapping, which are two of the biggest drivers of optical detectors market growth in the region. To provide huge sensor arrays and a wide dynamic sensing range, sensors are being engineered to be extremely tiny, passive, and lightweight. Various measures are being implemented by governments around the region to develop and expand local manufacturing industries. For example in July 2020, the South Korean government invested $414 million to boost the number of smart factories in the country. In recent years, technologies such as AI and IoT in these factories have gained enormous traction, resulting in a surge in demand for optical detectors in the region.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global photo detectors market include Albis Optoelectronics AG, BaySpec, Inc., Excelitas Technologies Corp, Mirion Technologies, Inc., NTT Electronics Corp., and Ophir Optronics Solutions Ltd., among others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, Albis Optoelectronics in 2020, launched a new 400G photodiode array. The photodiode array consists of InGaAs/InP very high-speed photodiode chips with integrated backside lenses.
