The European image sensor market had a market size of $1,849.7 million in 2014 and is expected to reach $1,888.7 million by 2019 at a CAGR of 0.4% during 2014 – 2019. An image sensor is an electronic photosensitive device which is used to convert an optical image into an electronic signal. It consists of millions of photodiodes and acts as an image receiver in digital imaging equipment. It is widely used in digital cameras, camera modules, and other imaging devices.

Europe is well known for its automotive and consumer market.  The potential applications of image sensors in vehicles are growing, with estimates that in the future there are likely to be five to twenty cameras in cars, used in a mix of machine and human vision applications. Thus, image sensors have great scope in the European automotive sector. The European image sensor market in the automotive application segment was valued at $95.3 million in 2014, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period.

In Europe, vehicles are used for busy city streets where lane-departure systems are less effective. Blind-spot cameras use image sensors and they are capable of providing a warning signal to the driver. Blind-spot detection has been offered in some Volvo models since 2005 in Europe.

The mobile phone camera market is based almost entirely on CMOS sensors and the large consumer market has pushed CMOS technology to the edge, including the development of advanced pixels with low noise. Since the consumer electronics market holds a major share in image sensing, there will be an increase in the demand for mobile phones and other consumer electronics in the coming years in the European market.

Previously, there used to be analog sensors such as video tubes which are currently replaced by mostly charge-couple device (CCD) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors. The increasing popularity of photography in the youth is also fueling the growth of image sensor market.

This study has been undertaken to understand the market dynamics in the area of image sensors, current revenue generated, and future revenue forecast. The study has been conducted to identify the key applications and geographical regions where huge opportunities can be expected in the coming future. Total image sensor shipments and its average selling prices have been analysed in order to arrive at the final market size of the image sensor. Furthermore, the image sensor revenue has also been analysed by clubbing the revenue of the top market players involved in the development of image sensor. This is further verified after having discussion with key market players.

The image sensor type market is broadly classified into CCD sensors, CMOS sensors, and Contact image sensors (CIS). CMOS image sensors accounted for the largest share of the image sensor market in 2014. The market for CMOS image sensors is expected to grow at CAGR of 1.5% from 2014 to 2019. This is mainly because of an increased use of CMOS sensors in consumer, automotive, surveillance, and industrial segments as it is able to offer features such as low power consumption, low manufacturing cost, ease of integration, and higher frame rate. Additionally, with the use of BSI technology, CMOS image sensors are able to produce better quality of images even in low-light conditions and the implementation of global shutter has made it possible to capture images of fast moving objects without any distortion. This results in an increased market share of CMOS image sensors.

The image sensor application market is broadly segmented into consumer, medical, industrial, surveillance, automotive, and defense and aerospace.  The consumer segment held the largest share in the Europe image sensor market, while medical, industrial, and automotive applications are the fastest growing segments in the Europe image sensor market.
