Image Sensors 2004: Camera Phones & Digital Still Cameras Drive Market for CMOS and CCDs

The image sensor market has continued to show sharp growth over the past year. CCDs have benefitted from the explosive growth of the digital still camera market, which nearly doubled in size from 2002 to 2003. CCDs have also continued to do well in their traditional strongholds of camcorders and security cameras.

Meanwhile, the market for CMOS image sensors has grown primarily due to the rapid growth of the camera phones, which have only been on the market since 2000, and in that time they have grown to be the single most popular type of digital camera. CMOS sensors have also seen success in toy cameras, web cameras and dual mode cameras.

In markets for linear image sensors, CCDs have been successful in high-speed applications such as digital copiers and flatbed scanners, while Contact Image Sensors (CIS) have been more popular in cost-sensitive applications, including fax machines and multifunction peripherals.

This report provides a complete review of the 2003 market for image sensors, as well as annual forecast numbers through 2008. CCD, CMOS and CIS market shares for each application, in both units and revenues, are provided annually for the entire forecast period. Profiles of the world's leading image sensor suppliers are also presented.
