CMOS image sensor market on 10.6% CAGR
The CMOS image sensor market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6 percent from 2014 to 2020 and reach an annual market value of US$16.2 billion in 2020, said Yole.
This implies a market value of about $8.85 billion in 2014 and $9.8 billion in 2015 and is a slightly higher CAGR than previously estimated by the market researcher one year ago (see CMOS image sensor market on 10% CAGR).

The uplift is being driven by demand from mobile and automotive applications, with automotive adding a significant addition to the market as car manufacturers such as Tesla, Nissan and Ford begin deploying camera-enabled features, such as reversing cameras. The total revenue for CMOS image sensors in automotive should reach $800 million in 2020.

As CMOS image sensors move from human display to machine sensing processor and software providers will become key partners in sensor design and marketing, said Yole.
The leading vendor of CMOS image sensors remains Sony, which is market, production and technology leader. It is followed by two strong competitors; Samsung and Omnivision, while new players such as Galaxycore, Pixelplus and Siliconfile are emerging.
