According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Optical Sensing Market is accounted for $2.96 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $7.74 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 17.4% during the forecast period. The optical sensors detect gadgets that are utilized to gauge the light power level and convert them into electrical signs that can be perused using advanced gadgets. They are specifically built to measure the change in the wavelength of light. The optical sensors are used in many industries because of their minimal sizes, adaptability, and the non-poisonous materials used in the assembling processes.

The increasing prevalence of smartphones and smartwatches are considered the intensive users of optical sensors that are driving the sensors industry. According to Consumer Technology Association (CTA), The U.S. consumer technology industry is projected to generate over $505 billion in retail sales revenue for the first time in 2022. CTA’s twice-yearly U.S. consumer technology one-year industry forecast reflects U.S. manufacturer shipments for more than 100 consumer tech products and related software and services.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing applications in oil and gas vertical

The oil and gas industry is undergoing rapid digitization and automation to fulfill the rising requirement for productivity, efficiency, and safety in operations. The distributed temperature sensing methods are significantly utilized for the good monitoring purpose in this industry. However, acoustic sensing has been gaining prominence for the monitoring and surveillance of pipeline systems. Distributed pressure and optical sensing systems are also gaining popularity with the increasing penetration of distributed sensing methods in the oil and gas industry. Along with this, a hybrid of temperature, strain, and acoustic sensing in a single cable is likely to drive the market as the combination of sensors reduces the probability of failure.

Restraint:

Rising substitutes of optical sensors

Many applications of optical sensors, fundamentally for those in the healthcare and manufacturing industries of semiconductors cannot be solved with optical sensors or miniature photoelectric sensors as they are physically too large to fit in the instruments. Furthermore, these sensors are typically not flexible enough to be routed through these instruments. Highly flexible and miniature sensors are being incorporated into other industries because of the recent demands for smaller machines and tools. These rising demands and manufacturing of miniature sensors tend to hinder optical sensing market growth in the forecast period.

Opportunity:

The rise in technological advancements

With the increasing demand for automation across different industries, there has been rapid adoption of optical sensing of various measurands and different environments, motion sensors with the latest technology of human detectors, a wide range of pressure sensors, and electric field sensors of various electric fields. The rising adoption of technological innovations such as fiber braggs grating, and fabry perot interferometers-based optical sensors have driven the applications in the spectroscopy market. Optical sensors convert different wavelengths into electrical signals for improved sensing applications.

Threat:

Technical issues in installation of distributed fiber optic sensors

The technical issues related to the installation of distributed sensors act as a major challenge to the growth of the market. The optical fiber should be carefully dealt with to avoid its breakage while installation. The design of the sensor cables has improved enormously, but, improper cable deployment can fail to acquire accurate information. As the process of installation and operation of the fiber includes high-cost inputs, such failures can result in customers’ indifference to the technology in future projects. There is always a risk involved in the deployment of the cable, and, hence, any kind of carelessness in the deployment or installation of the optical fiber can affect the readings recorded by the sensor and lead to improper functioning, which, in turn, would restrain the growth rate of the market.

The healthcare & medical segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The healthcare & medical segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth owing to increased R&D and growing awareness. The medical industry has a stringent regulatory framework overseeing the deployment of new devices. Various organizations produce optical sensing devices for the medical industry.

The biometric and ambience segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The biometric and ambience segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period because of the rising demand for energy-efficient solutions in smartphones and other consumer electronics and building automation applications. This can also be attributed to the rising utilization of ambient sensors in automobiles, for the automatic dimming of headlamps and increasing visibility during adverse conditions.

Region with highest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to the growing demand for automation across various industries, the proliferation of IoT-connected devices, and the rising adoption of optical sensors in the different industrial sectors. Industries across countries such as the United States and Canada are increasingly adopting optical sensors for monitoring a wide range of physical and chemical parameters.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the significant demand for consumer electronics products and the presence of consumer electronics manufacturers in China, India, and Japan. Moreover, the countries of the Rest of APAC have started investing in pipeline infrastructures that pave the way for increased demand for distributed sensors. Due to growing government activities in countries such as China and India, there would likely be high growth opportunities for the optic sensing market in APAC.
