The U.S. Image Sensors Market (Linear Image Sensors, CCD Image Sensors, X-ray Image Sensors) Forecasted to Reach USD 3.7 Billion in 2017: Transparency Market Research

ALBANY, New York, June 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –

According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research
(http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com) “Image Sensors Market – The U.S. Industry
Analysis Market Share, Trends and Forecast, 2011 – 2017
[http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/image-sensors-market-us.html ],” the U.S. image
sensors market was worth USD 2.0 billion in 2011 and is forecasted to reach USD 3.7
billion in 2017 at a CAGR of 11.1% from 2011 to 2017. The Linear image sensors segment
accounted for the largest share – i.e. 84.2% – of the U.S. image sensors market at USD 1.7
billion in 2011. The X-ray image sensors market segment will have the fastest revenue
growth at a CAGR of 18.8% during 2011 – 2017. The U.S. CMOS image sensor shipment reached
464.0 million units in 2011 registering a growth of 27.6% over 2010.

Image sensors are broadly categorized under CCD image sensors (area image sensor),
linear image sensors and X-ray image sensors. Linear image sensors are further segmented
into CMOS image sensors, NMOS image sensors and InGaAs image sensors. The linear image
sensors command the largest share of shipment and revenue, largely due to CMOS image
sensors, which accounts for more than 90% of the linear image sensor market
[http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/image-sensors-market-us.html ].

Growing technological advancement and faster adoption of new generation of mobile
technology has spurred the demand for high resolution imaging technology. With nationwide
mobile penetration inching towards 100%, mobile phone manufacturers are introducing a new
array of imaging-enabled products. Current differentiators for imaging in mobile
technology are low cost, low power, high performance and small size. Increasing
integration and low power operation has opened new application segments for image sensors.

CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) image sensors facilitate large scale
integration and can enable a single chip to accommodate all camera functions, which
eliminates the need for additional support packaging and assembly; thus lowering cost.
Market players are progressively providing higher levels of integration by incorporating
DSPs (digital signal processing), as well as ISPs (integrated signal processing). Other
ground-breaking features such as multiple color filters that allow JPEG images conversion
on the sensor are also supporting the market growth.

Continuously growing different varieties and forms of sensors used in handsets,
tablets and motion-based image sensors applications are becoming more sophisticated and
elegant; moving further than screen rotation. The blending of signals of various sensors
is facilitating the faster, smoother and precise description of motion in mobile devices.
This accuracy is well-matched for novel applications including gaming, augmented reality
and motion-based web browsing.

Image sensor prices have shown a downward trend over the last few years and are
expected to have a similar trend over the next few years. The average selling price per
unit of overall image sensors in the U.S. stood at USD 3.9 in 2011. Average cost per unit
for CMOS image sensors in the same year was USD 3.5 whereas average cost of CCD image
sensors was USD 8.3 per unit.

The report presents detailed analysis and forecast for the U.S. image sensors market
based on the following segmentation:
