Research and Markets: Global Smartphone Image Sensors Market 2014-2018 - Leading Vendors are Aptina Imaging, Omnvision Technologies, Samsung Electronics & SonyDUBLIN --(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/np84h8/global_smartphone) has announced the addition of the "Global Smartphone Image Sensors Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Smartphone Image Sensor market to grow at a CAGR of 13.5% over the period 2013-2018 Image sensors are devices used to convert a visual image into an electronic signal. Image sensing technology is used in cameras, camcorders, and all types of imaging devices. Before the digital era, analog image sensors functioned with video camera tubes, which are now replaced by digital technologies such as charge-coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors. Semiconductor CCD or active pixel sensors in CMOS or N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor are being used in electronic devices such as smartphones. The growing popularity of high-resolution screens in smartphones is one of the majoremerging trends in the market. Smartphones with high screen resolution and in-built cameras of different pixel ranges are gaining popularity in the market. These cameras, when employed with efficient and low-cost image sensors, will drive the market in the coming years. According to the report, the main driver in this market is the rise in smartphone sales. The demand for smartphones enabled with high-quality primary and secondary cameras has increased significantly in the past few years. Thus, manufacturers have also started to develop efficient image sensors for smartphones. Further, the report states that one of the challenges that this market faces is the dependency of smartphone image sensor vendors on the manufacturers of the end-products in which these sensors are incorporated. Vendors need to track and respond to any change in end-product requirements as it may affect the existing sales of their sensors or lead to additional costs to build new products.
