Abstract
The image sensor market showed solid growth, in 2006, that was fueled
primarily by the camera phone market. The emergence of dual-camera phones
seems likely to bolster this market further, as the dominant digital camera
market. Digital still cameras, security cameras, and web cameras also saw
significant shipments in 2006.
Fueled by camera phones, CMOS sensors dominated CCDs in units shipped in 2006.
CMOS also made inroads into digital still cameras and camcorders in 2006, two
markets that traditionally have been dominated by CCDs.
This report provides a complete review of the 2006 market for image sensors,
as well as annual forecast numbers through 2011. Image sensor shipment history
back to 2004 is also included. CCD, CMOS, and CIS unit market shares for all
applications, whether area or linear, are provided annually for the entire
forecast period. Profiles of the world' s leading image sensor suppliers are
also included.
