The Market Reports

Synopsis

The global market for SPAD based Sensor was estimated to be worth US$ 1022 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 2804 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 15.1% during the forecast period 2025-2031.

SPAD based sensors refer to sensors based on SPAD arrays. At present, the main products on the market are dToF sensors based on SPAD arrays. The D-ToF method detects the distance between an object by emitting short pulses of light and measuring the time required for the emitted light to return. This method can be used to measure the distance of objects tens or hundreds of meters away, but requires the use of single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) components with ultra-high efficiency characteristics.

Global key players of SPAD based Sensor include STMicroelectronics, ams OSRAM and Sony, etc. The top three players hold a share over 90%. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, has a share about 67%. In terms of product type, 3D dToF Sensor is the largest segment, occupied for a share of about 94%, and in terms of application, Consumer Electronics has a share about 87 percent.
