screen depending on the ambient light, which further help 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, aforementioned factors are fueling growth of the global light sensors
market.
Low capabilities of light sensors is one of the major factors restraining growth of the
market
Low capabilities of light sensors in case of long distance is major factor restraining growth of the
market. These sensors cannot perform well apart from the specified range of 3 lx (lux) to more
than 30,000 lx (lux), which is expected to hamper the growth of the market.
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 adoption of sensors in
various fields such as medical, consumer electronics, and automotive is one of the major factors
driving growth of the market in this region. For instance, light sensors are widely adopted by
automotive sector in this region, owing to reduction of road accidents. According to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in the U.S. the total number of people 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 road accident and increase the safety of the passengers, automotive manufacturer
are 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 regional market growth of light sensors in automotive sector,
which in turn help in propelling the growth of the light sensors market in this region.
