3D Sensors Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post-COVID-19 era. The use of 3D sensors in security and surveillance systems is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as accuracy and calibration issues during sensor fusion may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the 3D sensors industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key 3D Sensors Market Driver
The use of 3D sensors in security and surveillance systems is a major factor driving the global market share growth. The adoption of 3D sensors in electronic devices such as security cameras and closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras is growing because of the increasing need for security. Cameras with 3D sensors can perform various functions such as 3D imaging, position tracking, depth sensing, and gesture recognition. 3D sensors can provide real-time sensing and scanning of objects. Thus, aerospace and defence personnel are increasingly using security and surveillance systems that incorporate 3D cameras to enhance security. Drones are increasingly becoming an integral part of several industries, such as aerospace and defence, industrial, and retail (e-commerce). LiDAR or laser detection and ranging (LADAR) systems are used to operate drones. These systems use 3D sensor-enabled devices for developing 3D imaging of objects and surroundings. Major vendors have increased their focus on the development and introduction of 3D sensors, especially for security and surveillance applications, to capitalize on the market. Some of the vendors are working with technology providers to develop 3D sensor solutions. Thus, increasing the use of 3D sensors in security and surveillance systems is expected to foster the growth of the global 3D sensor market during the forecast period.
Key 3D Sensors Market Trend
The growing number of strategic partnerships among market participants is another factor supporting the global market share growth. The global 3D sensor market is in its growth stage, which is encouraging vendors to invest in the development of 3D sensing hardware. 3D sensors are being increasingly incorporated in mobile computing devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops to provide high-quality /images. The incorporation of 3D gesture recognition technology in gaming consoles and automobiles is opening up ample opportunities for market participants to tap the untapped potential of the market. Therefore, market participants, including chip manufacturers, camera manufacturers, sensor module manufacturers, and technology providers, are collaborating with each other to explore new application areas for 3D imaging and sensing. The growing number of partnerships among market participants will accelerate the development and commercialization of 3D imaging and sensing hardware during the forecast period.
Key 3D Sensors Market Challenge
The accuracy and calibration issues during sensor fusion will be a major challenge for the global market share growth during the forecast period. Manufacturers are facing challenges while combining multiple sensors to enhance accuracy. Firms are focusing on releasing 3D MEMS inertial measurement units (IMUs) to achieve sensor fusion. A 3D MEMS IMU provides a specific force and angular rate for a device by using a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes. IMUs often incorporate additional sensors such as magnetometers. The combination of multiple sensors gives rise to calibration issues. This is because different sensors acquire respective measurements, which are then combined through sensor fusion. Sensor fusion results in time lag or faulty output. Sensors need to be aligned properly to avoid performance issues. Multiple sets of calibration and testing are required in the sensor fusion unit, which is a highly time-consuming task. Such activities increase the power consumption of the device. Good calibration is a prerequisite for sensor fusion, preferably without additional hardware that further adds to the overall cost. Thus, accuracy and calibration issues during sensor fusion are one of the major challenges for market growth
