Drivers

• Security & UX in devices. Depth-based biometrics and AR experiences are now mainstream differentiators, pushing volumes and higher performance specs.
• Safety on the road. 3D sensing enables object detection, driver monitoring, and environment modeling across ADAS stacks—aligned with regulatory and consumer safety expectations.
• Automation economics. Precision inspection and pick-and-place improve yields and flexibility, justifying upgrades in industrial robotics and logistics cells.

Trends

• End-use hierarchy: Consumer electronics remains the largest end-use; automotive, industrial robotics, healthcare, security & surveillance, A&D, and entertainment expand the base.
• What’s shipping: Image sensors lead growth among types (alongside position, acoustic, and accelerometers), reflecting camera-centric designs and CMOS advances.
• How it’s built: Programs mix stereo/structured-light/ToF/ultrasound depending on range and cost targets; software (SLAM, depth fusion) increasingly differentiates performance. (Stratview segmentation.)
• Where it scales: North America holds today’s share lead; APAC scales fastest on device manufacturing, automotive growth, and policy-backed smart-industry initiatives.
• Who’s active: Ecosystem players named by Stratview include Sony, Samsung, OmniVision, Intel, Infineon, PMD, Cognex, Keyence, and Microchip.

Conclusion

The path forward is two-speed: high-volume consumer devices pull camera-centric depth sensing, while automotive and factories fuel performance-critical deployments. With clear momentum to USD 19.9B by 2032, winners will combine sensor innovation with illumination, calibration, edge AI, and secure connectivity—delivering accuracy and reliability at scale.
