Image Sensor Market size was over USD 28.34 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 79.9 billion by the end of 2037, witnessing around 8.3% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of image sensor is assessed at USD 30.22 billion. The market growth is driven by the emerging use of image sensors in healthcare. In healthcare, image sensors are being used for medical imaging, including X-rays, CT scans, and ultrasounds. For instance, the handheld X-ray system from United Imaging Healthcare provides accurate 3D breast imaging while offering high breast biopsy efficiency. These sensors enable high-quality imaging with a low radiation dose, making them a safer and more effective alternative to traditional imaging methods.
In addition, as the demand for higher resolution in electronic devices increases, image sensor manufacturers are working to develop image sensors with smaller sizes but higher resolution, which is more cost-effective. This is expected to drive the growth of the image sensor market over the forecast period.

Technology (CCD Sensor, CMOS Sensor)
The CMOS Sensor segment is estimated to hold 58% share of the global image sensor market in the year 2037. Segment growth can be attributed to the widespread use of CMOS Sensors in consumer electronics such as digital cameras, smartphones, and tablets. For instance, a new CMOS sensor from Canon features global shutters, which allows it to capture images of moving subjects accurately and distortion-free, as well as images taken by moving cameras. CMOS Sensors are smaller and more power-efficient than other types of image sensors, making them an attractive option for manufacturers. Additionally, CMOS Sensors are more affordable than other image sensors, making them an attractive option for consumers.
Application (Consumer Electronics, Defense, Healthcare, Industrial, Automotive, Security and Surveillance)
Image sensor market from the consumer electronics segment is estimated to account for 35% in the year 2037. The segment growth can be attributed to the increasing use of image sensors in smartphones, tablets, and digital cameras. As the demand for higher-resolution cameras increases, the demand for image sensors is expected to grow. The total number of shipments of cameras in 2022 was estimated to be 7.4 million. Furthermore, as technology advances, image sensors are expected to become smaller, cheaper, and more energy-efficient, which will further drive the growth of the consumer electronics segment.
