An image sensor is an electronic device that converts incoming light or photons into an electronic signal that can be viewed, stored, or analyzed in machine vision cameras and analog and digital imaging devices. It is used as a critical component in medical camera modules and night vision tools, such as radar, sonar, and thermal imaging devices, to detect and transmit information. It is widely available in various packages, formats, structures, chroma, resolution, frame rate, and pixel sizes. At present, several manufacturers are introducing new variants with improved sensor size, resolution, speed, and light sensitivity.

Image Sensors Market Trends:
The increasing use of smartphones for on-demand photography represents one of the key factors influencing the adoption of image sensors to make sophisticated cameras embedded in these devices. Apart from this, the emerging trend of connected vehicles on account of the growing number of road accidents is catalyzing the demand for compact, robust, and cost-effective image sensors. These sensors are incorporated in camera-enabled systems for autonomous driving, video mirror, rearview, automatic emergency braking, 360-degree surround view, driver monitoring, and comfortable and safe riding experiences. Moreover, they are extensively utilized in barcode scanners that are gaining traction in the healthcare industry to get real-time insights into medical supplies, staff, and assets. In addition to this, the escalating need for medical assistance due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is contributing to market growth. Besides this, leading manufacturers are introducing modern image sensors that can be utilized in closed-circuit television (CCTV) security cameras for video surveillance in residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. This, in confluence with a significant rise in the demand for CCTV cameras on account of increasing security concerns, is influencing the market positively.
