The Global Market for Photonic Sensors & Detectors is Projected to Reach US$17.4 Billion by 2020
Increasing Use in Harsh Operating Environments
to Drive the Photonic Sensors & Detectors Market, According to a New Report
by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA
announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Photonic Sensors
& Detectors. The
global market for Photonic Sensors & Detectors is projected to reach US$17.4
billion by 2020, driven by the growing demand for robust and reliable sensing
solutions in complex and hazardous work environments.
Utilizing
optical signals as a sensing element for detecting of a range of physical,
biological and chemical parameters, photonic sensors are finding strong demand
in a range of end-use markets. Major end-use markets for photonic sensors include Industrial
Process/Automation; Oil & Gas; Military, Aerospace & Homeland security;
Energy & Infrastructure; Medical/Biomedical; Civil Engineering; and
Transportation, among others. Exclusive properties of photonic sensors
such as distributed sensing and EMI resistance are especially driving their
adoption in commercial sensing applications. Also, photonic sensors are
lighter, faster, more compact, and have superior resolution than traditional
sensor devices, and yet have lower energy requirements, which makes these
sensors ideal for use in a wide range of application areas. Photonic sensors
also boast of superior detecting and sensing capabilities and provide higher return of investments in the long run. Additionally,
their non-electrical way of sensing enables photonic sensors to work even in
harsh environments such as in electromagnetic contaminated spaces or in
explosion prone areas.
Stringent
safety regulations across all industrial sectors and strict implantation of
laws that penalize companies that flout occupational safety guidelines, are presenting
a strong case for the use of advanced sensing technologies such as photonic
sensors and detectors. The need to ensure early detection of safety and
security breaches such as structural flaws in infrastructure constructions,
biological and chemical hazards, food and water contamination, breaches in
industrial process such as radiation etc., and issue an early warning, will
especially drive demand for photonic sensors and detectors.
Growth in
the market is also expected to benefit from the growing investments in advanced
and disruptive technologies. Post-recession, companies are stepping up their investments
in new technologies that create economic value in terms reduced costs, improved
productivity, increased profits and creation of new market opportunities.
Cutting edge sensing technologies like photonic sensors are poised to benefit given
their ability to automate knowledge worker tasks, and shorten time-to-market
period by reducing the complexity and downtime related to variations in product
quality. As the phenomenon of “Digital Darwinism” in manufacturing and industrial
sectors gains momentum, photonic sensing is poised to benefit.
As
stated by the new market research report on Photonic Sensors & Detectors, the United States represents the largest
market worldwide. Asia-Pacific is forecast to emerge as the fastest growing
market with dollar sales in the region waxing at CAGR of 22.4% over the
analysis period. Growth in the region is driven by growing defense/military
spending in China and India, and the industrial automation trend in these
nations.
Major
players in the market include Avago Technologies, Banner Engineering Corp.,
Banpil Photonics, Inc., Baumer Holdings AG, BaySpec, Inc., Brandywine Photonics
LLC, FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, Hamamatsu Photonics K.K., Honeywell
International Inc., Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, OMRON Corporation, ON
Semiconductor Corporation, Prime Photonics, LC, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.,
Smart Fibres Limited, and Toshiba Corporation, among others.
