LIGHT SENSORS MARKET ANALYSIS

Light Sensors MarketSize and Trends

The light sensor converts light input into corresponding electrical output. It is used in the automatic street light systems, automatic brightness control in mobile, and security devices in home and offices, which helps in minimizing the power consumption of the devices. Most commonly used light sensors are based on photoresistors, which control the flow of current using sensed light energy. These are known as Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs). 

Increasing adoption of light sensors in portable consumer electronics is one of the major factors driving the growth of the market

Major Factor attributing to the growth of the market is increasing usage of portable consumer electronics, such as laptop, smartphones, and tablet which inadvertently affects the battery life of the product. For instance, according to Coherent Market Insights analysis, the total number of smartphones users in 2016, was 2.2 billion and it increased to 2.4 billion in 2017, worldwide. Therefore, prolong on-screen time on smartphone enforced manufacturers to introduce light sensors in these devices, which improves the battery life of device by consuming less power. By incorporating the light sensors in the smartphones it automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen depending on the ambient light, which further helps in reducing the power consumption of devices limited to less than 10 Mw. Furthermore, light sensors reduce the power consumption required in the keypad backlighting, which in turn helps in increasing the battery life of the smartphones. Therefore, the aforementioned factors are fueling the growth of the global light sensors market.
