Market Research and Market Trends of Optical Sensors

Recent study indicates that the US military researchers are working with few companies in developing technologies for future light detection and ranging (LIDAR) electro optical sensor systems. Modular Optical Aperture Building Blocks (MOABB) intend to develop enabling technologies for a small lightweight electro-optical sensor using free space optical technology with ultra-low size, weight and cost with faster beam scanning speeds. These kind of optical sensors are mainly used in Aerospace and Defense. The market growth for Aerospace and Defense depends on economics, politics and government regulations. Due to the dramatic growth of US market in this sector, the optical sensors industry is going to benefit and estimated to generate huge revenue and will have great impact in the future.

The latest development in the industry is the use of optical sensors in autonomous cars, in order to keep an eye on surroundings. The optical sensors based on LEDs and infrared lasers are one of the key technologies for advanced driver assistance systems to gradually reduce the burden on the driver. These sensors are mainly used in the driver assistant systems as the Parking assistant, Lane Keeping assistant, Stop and Go assistant or Emergency brake assistant. The application of optical sensors in automotive industry is considerably growing especially with the usage of image sensors due to the advancement of technology. The image sensors market in automotive industry is estimated to grow rapidly due to its extensive image applications in the automotive sector.



The recent development in chemical industry is the usage of fiber optical chemical sensors for the detection of harmful chemicals. The sensor uses optical fiber as the identifying element or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the extrinsic sensor. These kind of sensors has numerous applications such as clinical, organic, inorganic, environmental and biomedical analysis, industrial production and bioprocess control, which involves an intrinsic color or fluorescence. Other applications include, measuring petroleum constituents, benzene, xylenes and toluene. The use of fiber optical chemical sensor in the chemical industry can drive the market rapidly in the future, and also due to the availability of low cost, miniature opto electric sources.
