Market Definition
Light sensors function by detecting the intensity of light. Based on light energy levels, it holds current, increases resistance, or collects current. It also generates electrical output proportional to the brightness of a specific light source. Light sensors are also used to detect light that human eyes cannot see, such as infrared, ultraviolet, and x-ray. Photo resistors and photodiodes are two of the most common types of light sensors. Photo tubes, photovoltaic cells, photo transistors, photomultiplier tubes, and other light sensors are also examples of light sensors. Light sensors are simple and dependable, and they have numerous applications in motion sensors, robotics, automation, and other technologies.
Global Light Sensor Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Growing development of smart cities
The growing establishment of smart cities is a key trend in the light sensor market. The lights in such cities will need to be energy efficient, which is why they will be equipped with sensors, specifically for ambient light sensing. When it gets dark, the lights will switch on or increase in brightness automatically. Similarly, when there is plenty of natural light, artificial lights will either reduce their brightness or turn off automatically, saving electricity. With the increasing construction of smart cities in developing countries the demand for light sensing devices will also surge.
- Uptake in consumer electronic devices
Factors such as sensor miniaturisation, increased consumer electronics use, and increased demand for renewable energy are driving up demand for light sensors. Furthermore, advancements in the automotive sector, smart homes, and outdoor lighting are expected to drive market growth. Advanced manufacturing technologies, low-cost and high-speed electronic circuits, and novel signal processing methods have fuelled recent advancements in sensor technologies. These new advancements in the field provide robust technical solutions, increasing the economic efficiency, reliability, and quality of technical products.
