Japan Sensor Industry Overview
The Japanese sensors market is highly competitive because most leading brands are developing new technologies and engaging in fierce competition. Brand identity plays a huge role in the market. The established players have an edge over the competition due to huge brand equity. Significant players include ABB Limited, Honeywell International Inc., Texas Instruments Incorporated, Siemens AG, and NXP Semiconductors BV. Some of the recent developments in the market are:
- January 2023: NXP Semiconductors announced the launch of a new industry-first 28nm RFCMOS radar one-chip IC family for next-generation ADAS and autonomous driving systems. The new SAF85xx one-chip family combines NXP's high-performance radar sensing and processing technologies into a single device, providing tier ones and OEMs with new flexibility in addressing short, medium, and long-range radar applications for serving more challenging NCAP safety requirements.
- September 2022: STMicroelectronics announced the next-generation dual image sensor to monitor the entire vehicle interior covering the driver and all passengers. The new image sensor will work for applications, including child-left detection, passenger safety belt checks, gesture recognition, vital-sign monitoring, and high-quality picture/video recording.
- September 2022: OSRAM announced the extension of its family of spectral sensors to perform quantitative, digitized point-of-care diagnostics for fluorescence and colorimetric-based assays.
