Image sensor, the gap between the runner-up Samsung and Sony is getting smaller
In the global image sensor market, the gap between Samsung and Sony continues to shrink. Due to the popularity of smartphones and security products, the market for image sensors has grown rapidly.
IC Insights pointed out in the report that the annual revenue of CMOS image sensors will increase to 13.7 billion US dollars by 2018, a 10% increase over 2017.
By 2022, this figure will rise to 19 billion US dollars. CMOS sensors are constantly advancing, such as being able to handle a wide range of light intensities, speeding up imaging, increasing resolution, and adding more features to accomplish specific tasks. We have incorporated CMOS sensors into security video cameras, or robots and automobiles. Increase machine vision capabilities to identify people for gesture interfaces, VR/AR, and medical systems.
In the new smart phones, the CMOS image sensor market is also growing, because many mobile phones install dual camera systems to enhance camera capabilities.
In the global CMOS sensor market, Sony and Samsung are leaders, and Sony has a slight advantage. In 2016, Sony and Samsung respectively accounted for 25.6% and 22.6% of the global market. By 2017, the two companies had 28.3% and 25.4% of the market, respectively.
South Korea SK Hynix holds approximately 8-8% of the market. Industry watchers believe that if sold by sales, Sony has a 50% share and Samsung only 20%.
In June 2016, Samsung launched the ISOCELL brand image sensor with the goal of catching Sony's Exmor product.
Most cameras use CCD sensors or CMOS sensors. In terms of light sensitivity and quality, CCD sensors have advantages, but the entire industry has shifted from CCDs to CMOS because CMOS technology is simpler and lower in cost. Of the image sensor sales in 2017, CMOS accounted for 89% and in 2012 only 74%.
In the CMOS sensor market, Sony is the leader and Samsung is the catcher. In order to close the gap, Samsung introduced its own CMOS brand and launched many new products. The ISOCELL brand is named after Samsung's own research and development technology. ISOCELL Technology was launched in 2013. It isolates every pixel of the image sensor and enhances the image quality.
Recently, Samsung introduced the ISOCELL Slim 3P9 sensor with 16 million pixels. Samsung claims that the new CMOS image sensor provides an ISOCEL plug-and-play system for the rear camera module. Samsung also said that with the new sensor, the camera module development time can be reduced by 4 months, because the optimization and stability testing at the module level has long been done.
