An optical sensor is a measuring device which is often connected to an electrical trigger. It measures the physical quantity of light and converts light from which can be interpreted by instrument and reacts to change the signal within the light sensor. These sensors integrate a photodetector and infrared emitter in a single package.
Global Optical Sensor market size is projected to reach 2.39 Billion by the end of 2024 with a CAGR of 8.59% during the forecast period. Key Parameters promoting the market growth include increase in demand of optical sensors for wide range of applications, use of optical sensors in various applications such as oil & gas, border security and smart home applications, high accuracy and ability to withstand harsh environments, increasing research activities owing to increased investments, especially in the medical industry, high-end smartphones coupled with newer applications such as 3D mapping, restore recognition, and eye tracking, increase in demand for the handheld devices like smart phone and tablets, continuous evolution of technology, finger print recognition and mobile payment authentication, growing demand high-speed internet, and the development of innovative applications for technologies that help in building electric circuits.
