Global Light Sensors Market: Regional Insights

North America accounted for the largest share in the global sensor light sensor market in 2016, and it is expected to dominate the global market by 2026. Increasing the adoption of sensors in various fields such as medical, consumer electronics, and automotive is one of the major factors driving the growth of the market in this region. For instance, light sensors are widely adopted by the automotive sector in this region, owing to the reduction of road accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in the U.S. the total number of people who died in the road accident was 35,485 in 2015, and it grew up to 37,461 in 2016. Thus, in order to minimize the case of a road accident and increase the safety of the passengers, the automotive manufacturer is incorporating ambient light sensors in the vehicle for driver assistance and driver safety, which is propelling the growth of light sensors in the automotive sector. The vehicle equipped with light sensors detect the brightness ahead of the vehicle and the headlights are turned on and turned off automatically. This system allows the driver to control the turning on and turning off of the headlights with more accurate timing based on the driving situation. Therefore, all these factors are expected to drive the regional market growth of light sensors in the automotive sector, which in turn helps in propelling the growth of the light sensors market in this region.
