What are the key drivers behind the rapid expansion of the optical sensor market?
The growth of robotics and automation is expected to propel the growth of the optical sensor market going forward. Robotics and automation refer to using robotic devices or artificial intelligence to automate tasks without human intervention. The demand for robotics and automation is driven by efficiency and safety, increased productivity, flexibility, and customization. Optical sensors help robotics and automation by providing crucial information for object detection, distance sensing, positioning, quality control, and safety applications, enhancing the capabilities and efficiency of automated systems. For instance, in May 2023, according to the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based non-profit organization, industrial robot installations in manufacturing climbed by 12% overall in 2022 to reach 41,624 units. The automotive industry, which mostly consists of US, Canadian, and Mexican businesses, was the top adopter with 20,391 installed units, a 30% rise from 2021. Therefore, the growth of robotics and automation will drive the growth of the optical sensor market.
