Europe is well known due to its automotive and consumer market. The potential application of image sensors in vehicles are growing, with estimates that in the future there will be five to twenty cameras in a car, used in a mix of machine and human vision applications. Thus, image sensors have great scope in the field of automotive sector in Europe. The automotive and transportation market is the fastest-growing segment, mainly due to the increasing use of camera in cars. The demand of image sensors in automotive market is driven both by legislation and consumer demands for higher safety and better driving experiences. Imaging systems used in combination with other types of sensors, such as infrared sensor, are important so as to achieve 100% efficiency in terms of the driver assistant feature in a car. The security and safety market has witnessed steady growth as the consumer today wants to be in a safe environment. Various security and surveillance equipment are used in hotels, hospitals, commercial shops, commercial apartments, banks, and in other public places. This has given rise to an increase in the demand of image sensors.

Growth of image sensor market is driven by several applications, that is, the growing demand for camera-enabled mobile phones. Cameras have become one of the important parameters for mobile device manufacturers, as the purchasing decision of end-users largely depends on the type of camera or pixel size. CMOS image sensor is preferred over the CCD image sensor in mobile cameras because of their lower power consumption, faster frame rates, ease of integration, and lower manufacturing costs. Hence, there is huge demand for CMOS image sensors from mobile device manufacturers.

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 development of advanced pixels with low noise. Since consumer electronics market holds a major share in image sensing, as there is likely to be an increase in the demand for mobile phones and other consumer electronics in coming years in the Europe market. Earlier, CCDs were considered to be superior to CMOS because of their high image quality and offered high-dynamic-range (HDR) and higher resolution. Lower image quality affects performance of accurate measurement; therefore, it is important to have a good quality of images in machine vision. CCD has a slower frame rate, consumes more power, and costs more to manufacture and integrate.
CMOS sensors are widely used in mobile phones, tablets, and digital and DSLR cameras, and also have better performance capacity. Image sensors can be used in biometric applications such as fingerprint, iris, face, and palm recognition systems for individual authentication. Currently, image sensors are used in fingerprint recognition systems for identifying an individual and provide access. Image sensors are useful in several industries where consumers who can put them to use in access control and identity access management and information technology applications. But spoofing of fingerprints can be easily done; hence, a more accurate biometric system is needed in commercial and industrial places. The Europe Image sensor market in the industrial application sector is projected to reach $20.7 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 9.4% which is the highest among all application sectors in the same market.
The image sensors market is expected to grow as there is an increase in the demand for cameras or devices which have cameras. The consumer electronics segment is expected to grow with the advancement in technologies in consumer products, such as cameras, mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. The demand of image sensors in consumer electronics market has increased due to the use of CCD and CMOS sensors in various applications like digital cameras and smart phones. However, the demand for digital cameras has seen a substantial decrease as mobile phones with better cameras are widely available in the market.
