Material (Silicon, Germanium, Gallium Phosphide, Indium Gallium Arsenide)
Silicon segment is poised to account for photodiode sensors market share of around 52% by 2036. Silicon photodiodes facilitate high-speed applications. The theory behind their function is that the electrical properties of this change seem to be modified upon the interference of light particles. They allow for the free flow of current in one direction and prevent its flow in the opposite direction. With a reverse breakdown voltage following a range of 70-100 V, silicon photodiodes can be modified via doping with impurities to control their conductivity. These are finding their high utilization in energy-efficient lighting systems, as well as in defense and aerospace for target detection. Augmented reality is on its way to pick up, which also depends on silicon photodiodes, which can act as a driver for this market.
Application (Consumer electronics, Healthcare, Telecommunications, Defense)
In photodiode sensors market, healthcare segment is estimated to hold revenue share of more than 28% by 2036. The pandemic witnessed increased use of oximeters, which work on the principle that light is absorbed by oxygen. Photodiode sensors aid in measuring the wavelengths of light absorbed by the blood, thereby producing the result. The use of sensors in medical industries, by banking on smart devices stands at USD 143.6 billion, which clearly opens up new avenues for the utilization of photodiode sensors in the healthcare industry, thereby expanding their market. The selling points of photodiodes are their low noise, reasonable costs, and the least consumption of power, consequently becoming a preferred sensor in the healthcare industry, including health-related smart gadgets.
