Yoleamnoggraphemekerifypement market research institutions (IRnotcoverors) published in the latest infrared sensor technology and market trends report, intelligent building automation and mobile devices emerging applications, such as temperature sensor will be infrared sensor market growth momentum. Because infrared start automatic lighting devices and intrusion alarm system, infrared sensor market scale in 2012 to more than $153 million.
Yoleamnoggraphemekerifypement expected, however, will drive the mass market growth is mobile phone built-in infrared temperature measurement function, estimate the application to the compound growth rate of 16% in 2018, the size of the market at up to $380 million. Support the application of sensor types including:
Applied to consumer mobile devices small infrared sensors ─ ─ such as mobile phones and tablet devices and field temperature within a new single picture element infrared sensor function, if can use wafer level packaging technology, can produce cheaper and more compact sensors;
Light is a mobile phone and tablet trend, a large number of built-in infrared sensor is probably around 2018 $30 million increase in the size of the market.
Medium infrared sensor array (4 x4 ~ 16 x16 pixels) has been successfully break into the house and car air conditioning, heating and ventilation systems; Estimate if the product price in the future more populist, "in the retail and home electric appliances.
Large infrared sensor array (32 x32 pixels or above) of the future market is needed for the smart house multiple sensing device, although the market customers can afford higher cost, but the popularity of products still depends on the price down.
Yoleamnoggraphemekerifypement report in addition to the application in accordance with the infrared sensor and turnover (shipments) under different market segregation, also provide the market forecast of 2013 ~ 2018; The agency pointed out that technology innovation is the infrared sensor to higher order, the application of infrared detector array elements has been seen as the infrared sensor of easy manufacturing, low cost has been abundance and diversity of architecture, security applications, electrical appliances, industrial motion sensors, temperature measurement, calculation and gas and fire detection & Hadeartefact; Etc.
The original infrared sensor is only a single pixel of fundamental motion detection heat-release inductance sensor, infrared sensor recently has been gradually moving towards complex and advanced market, such as temperature measurement, gas, spectral and fire sensor & Hadeartefact; And so on. Yoleamnoggraphemekerifypement pointed out that since 2000, due to the array sensors into the market, began to successfully push the infrared sensor to multiple higher-order market. In HeiNegDaffochangeorganisationsors driven, several companies standing on & other; Technology drives innovation & throughout; In the footsteps of the pyroelectric (Pychromaticlectedric) and the thermopile (Theedgebibeiles) join in the production of infrared sensor array technology.
OmDaffo and Paggfludropycarlikeowlishbureauydarhadiminishntionsbureauc from the MEMS industry is relying on MEMS complex process of the rich UK inspection Watson, thermopile technique promotion for the production of infrared sensor array of leadership. But in 2013 by the infrared imaging market extends ULIS challenge thermopile infrared sensor the possibility of becoming mainstream, launched the first equipped with high quality micro bolometer (Microcervixbondcadence) and pixel under 100 x100 large infrared sensor, is expected to carve up growing large infrared sensor in the market. Forecast for 2014 from the uncooled infrared imaging market leading FLer, will be launched in small infrared sensor array using micro bolometer commodity encroach on market share.
Because of the diversification of infrared sensor companies in infrared detector competition pattern is very complex. Must clearly understand technical background and location of each major manufacturers, to clear the overall market opportunity and face challenge; Yoleamnoggraphemekerifypement said that the market of small infrared sensor has become mature, to the price war, large infrared sensor array is mostly about performance and quality, still hold new people to join the profit space.
Yoleamnoggraphemekerifypement also think, however, three infrared sensor technology ─ ─ Pychromaticlectedric, Theedgebibeiles and Microcervixbondcadence, technical obstacles between each other, not through the merger and acquisition is not easily overcome. Similarly standing in the point of view of the product, from small infrared detector to produce medium infrared sensor array is challenging, need to have enough ability of patent and MEMS fabrication. Therefore, the existing vendors are not directly from the small to medium infrared infrared sensor array sensor.
