Segmentation

By technology, the CMOS segment will lead the low-light imaging market in 2019. The dominant position of CMOS technology can be credited to its growing popularity owing to its various advantages over CCD technology. The CMOS technology-based low-light image sensors are rapidly replacing CCD technology-based low-light image sensors in the majority of applications such as photography, and security and surveillance; as a result of which, the demand for CCD technology-based image sensors has been decreasing.

Vehicles

The low-light imaging market for automotive vertical is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. Rising demand for automotive ADAS is one of the main factors boosting the growth of the low-light imaging market for the automotive vertical. Dash cameras, front-view machine vision cameras, rear-view mirrors with cameras, camera monitor systems, and 360-degree surround-view cameras are among a few of the systems used in cars wherein low-light image sensors find applications.
