Market Trends of Europe Optical Sensors Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Europe Optical Sensors Market according to our research experts:
Adoption of opical sensors in automobiles is expected to drive the market
- In the automotive industry, optical sensors are used in several camera-enabled systems, including autonomous driving, advanced safety systems, and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems. These sensors provide a variety of intuitive features such as 3D gesture recognition, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, and indoor lighting control applications.
- The growing development of ADAS and self-driving cars in Germany will accelerate market demand. Leading companies in the automotive industry, such as the BMW Group, have already begun developing fully autonomous models.
- In November 2020, Honda announced mass production of Level 3 self-driving cars with integrated sensor technology. Similar initiatives by automotive OEMs add opportunities for expansion to the market.

The ambient light and proximity sensor segment is expected to grow due to increase adoption of consumer electronics
- According to research, backlighting for displays is only required 40% of the time. Ambient light and proximity sensors (ALSs) have been suitable in offering power saving through automatic adjustment and improved backlighting solutions for hand-held electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, PDA's, among others. Recently ambient sensors for LCD TV displays have gained traction.
- A similar trend has started to attract applications such as home and automotive lighting solutions. For instance, the room's illumination can be changed through RGB ALSs that provide feedback to a room's lighting-control system to adjust the light color, intensity, and color temperature output of the LED-based luminaires.
- Also, automobile lighting can be adjusted to accommodate day or night driving or reflect the brightness of streetlights through intelligent ambient sensors that offer saving power and provide a better user experience.
- Optical proximity sensors have been integrated into almost every smartphone and touch-screen electronic device to enable gesture control, trigger and detection applications, and some industrial applications such as determining the number of production units in industrial applications, particularly in manufacturing process lines.
- The pandemic has caused significant setbacks as carriers struggle to deploy 5G networks. At the same time, pandemics are driving the demand for technology as people become more and more dependent on the Internet while working from home.
