Global Gigabit Ethernet Camera Market 2016-2020

Overview of the global GigE camera market

The global GigE camera market is anticipated to grow at a steady rate and will post a CAGR of more than 11% during the forecast period. The technological advantages offered by GigE cameras over traditional cameras will drive the growth prospects for the global GigE camera market until the end of 2020. The use of GigE cameras eliminates the need for frame grabbers, which is a necessary component when used with analog technology or regular cameras. Also, the installation cost of GigE camera setup is relatively low, which increases its adoption among the end users. Moreover, the hubs used in conventional camera devices have a limited cable length because of which multiple hubs are deployed between the camera and the receiver. The installation of multiple hubs results in high power consumption and an increased overhead cost. In addition, the excessive use of separate cables also increases the risk of high electromagnetic interference. However, the use of GigE camera overcomes the shortcomings of conventional cameras and as a result, the adoption rate of these devices is rising in the market.

In terms of geography, the Americas accounted for the maximum market share during 2015 due to the presence of a large number of GigE camera vendors. However, the global GigE camera market is expected to decline by 2020 because of the rising price of camera devices.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

The global GigE camera market is one of the fastest-growing markets and is highly competitive due to the presence of several vendors. Also, the market is highly dynamic due to rapid technological advancements and numerous business innovations. To survive and succeed in this environment, vendors need to distinguish their product and service offerings through clear and unique value propositions. Also, they are focusing on offering product features that can deliver high-quality images at low costs.

Segmentation by image sensor and analysis of the global GigE camera market

• CMOS
• CCD

Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor sensors (CMOS) accounted for the maximum market share during 2015 and will continue to dominate the market during the next four years. Generally, in an industrial environment, GigE cameras are required to capture and transfer data at a very high rate. This is achieved by the application of CMOS sensors in cameras that increase the speed of capturing multiple photos. Another major factor that is driving the adoption of CMOS sensors includes low cost and the easy integration of these sensors with the camera.

Segmentation by type and analysis of the global GigE camera market

• Monochrome
• Color

During 2015, monochrome cameras accounted for the maximum market share due to its high adoption rate and low price. Applications such as food processing, product inspection, traffic surveillance, industrial design, and manufacturing predominantly use monochrome cameras. However, with the increasing focus of businesses on the quality of images, the adoption of monochrome cameras is expected to decline during the forecast period.
