The global light sensor market size is expected to reach USD 8.87 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 12.0% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Market growth can be attributed to the growing implementation of light sensor functions in the automotive industry and consumer electronics, such as smartphones, televisions, and laptops. Advancements in smart lighting and its applications in smart homes and outdoor lighting are also expected to increase the utility of light detectors. In addition, the increased usage of connected devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the development of smart cities is expected to propel the growth of the market.
Currently, manufacturers of consumer electronics are under pressure to bring differentiated and unique products into the market. With the inclusion of optoelectronic detectors in smart devices, major mobile manufacturing companies, such as Samsung Electronics Ltd., are collaborating with light sensor manufacturers to integrate various technologies into their smartphones. The increasing use of connected devices in the automotive, industrial, and electronics industries has led to the trend of multi-sensor integration among manufacturers. Moreover, the growing demand for LiDAR sensors in applications, such as corridor mapping and topographical survey, aerospace and defense, mining, automotive, and oil & gas, has created growth opportunities for the market across industries.
Top vendors such as AMS AG; STMicroelectronics NV; Analog Devices, Inc.; Broadcom Inc.; and Vishay Intertechnology Inc. are focused on developing small, efficient, and low-cost sensors to meet the needs of their customers. Enhancements in the sensing technology and miniaturization have enabled consumer electronics device manufacturers to introduce various functions, such as brightness control, display dimming, extending battery run time, and power-saving features. However, the additional costs for incorporating sensors into smart devices and subsequent reduction in the life of devices are anticipated to hamper the market growth. The COVID-19 outbreak worldwide is also expected to slow down market growth over the next few years.
