Global 3D Sensors Market Analysis


Executive Summary Global 3D sensors market has shown strong growth and is expected to exceed $6.1 billion by 2023

The global market for 3D Sensors is projected to reach $6.1 billion by 2023, driven by the

growing integration of 3D capabilities in consumer, healthcare and industrial electronics.

3D sensing, which allows users to measure depth, range, and distance of an object by using

laser as well as other light sources for generating three-dimensional features, is a rapidly

emerging engineering discipline in the overall sensors industry. 3D sensing represents a

dynamic technology with significant applications in a wide range of industry verticals

including consumer electronics, automotive, industrial robotics, security and surveillance,

healthcare, and others. The transition from 2D to 3D technology is gaining momentum

across all types of electronic devices and equipment. Major factors driving the transition are

the many inherent advantages offered by 3D sensors such as reduced production/design

time, time-to-market efficiencies, superior measurement accuracy, and lower error margins,

among others. The growing prominence of 3D technology is mirrored by the continuous rise

in the number of 3D-enabled electronic devices being launched in the market each year.

In the coming years, rapid adoption of 3D technology coupled with technological

advancements will spur growth in the market. Rising demand for 3D sensing capability in

devices such as tablets, laptops, and smartphones will spur growth in the consumer

electronics end-use sector. Significant application opportunities exist in gaming devices such

as handheld game consoles that require advanced tracking and gesture recognition

capabilities. The rise in virtual reality gaming and augmented reality games and the

Market Analysis As compass sector stalls, 3D magnetic sensor suppliers look to automotive sector for growth

Led by ongoing price erosion in the electronic compass sensor market, year-over-year

semiconductor-based 3D magnetic sensor revenues grew less than 1% in 2016; however,

the industry’s growth rate was on track to reach nearly 4% in 2017. The overall 3D

magnetic sensor market’s declining growth has been mitigated by the automotive sensor

market last year, which comprises more than half (55%) of the overall market for 3D

magnetic sensors.

Once the rising star of the magnetic sensor market, 3D magnetometer compass sensors

have quickly entered a plateau dominated by commoditization. Many 3D magnetic sensor

suppliers focused on compasses, which are used in GPS-enabled smartphones and tablets,

are seeing their market shrink before their eyes, while those serving the automotive sector

continue to bolster their revenue. Since the introduction of electronic compass sensors in

2008, increased competition and resulting lower prices have led to a sharp reduction in

profit margins for the sector. At that time, a three-axis compass was priced at around

$1.40. Today, the price of a magnetometer used in a GPS-enabled mobile phone at large

volume OEMs is already under $0.20 and is set to fall even further over the next six years.

Low penetration of 3D magnetometers in the low-end smartphones is another factor

dragging this market. Unlike the accelerometers that are used for portrait-landscape

orientation, 3D magnetometers are an elective feature, not a requirement. 3D compass

penetration rate is high in mid-range smartphones and saturated in high-end smartphones.

Unfortunately these markets no longer drive growth.

Shrinkage in the compass sensor market has been offset by growth in the automotive

sector, which remains a key growth sector of the 3D magnetic sensor market. Sensor

penetration is still increasing in mature markets like North America, Europe and Japan.

Market Analysis

Growing popularity of gesture recognition systems driving the

consumption of 3D sensors

3D vision & gesture tracking technology is gaining considerable attention and traction in the

market. Growing number of applications of 3D image recognition technologies, particularly

the Time-of-Flight (ToF), are driving growth in the gesture recognition market. However,

the lack of standardization of gesture movements poses a challenge to the market growth.

With emerging virtual reality games and information technology (IT) applications entering

the market, shipments of gesture sensing control user interfaces are poised to grow 10%

year over year, to reach 2.3 billion units in 2018. While touch-screen technology works well

in smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices with flat panel displays, it is less suitable

for use in some new and emerging applications; therefore, gesture sensing control will fill

an industry need gap. Gesture sensing control will not compete with touch screens, but will

instead be complementary, because each technology is appropriate for specific applications.

Smart TVs, for example, are not good candidates for touch screens, because they are too

far from viewers. On the other hand, gesture sensing control is especially suitable for future

immersive augmented reality and virtual reality computing.

Optical-based three-dimensional depth sensing technologies such as time of flight (ToF),

stereo vision and structured light for freehand gesture sensing control -- will account for two

thirds (66%) of sensor unit shipments for game console applications in 2018; as the use of

controller-based sensors becomes more common.

Mainstream consumers have been aware of gesture sensing control, since the debut of the

Nintendo Wii in 2006. Now a decade later, gesture sensing control is poised to become the

second most common user interface for smart devices after touch screens.

Country Analysis China to witness strong domestic demand for 3D sensors

Shipments of wearable devices in China have soared with Xiaomi still being the top vendor.

The emerging wearable market keeps drawing attention from consumers in China. The

continual technology improvement has enabled 3D sensors into wider application such as

mobile phones, activity trackers, healthcare and gaming devices by providing innovative

features and new user experience. Leading companies including Apple, Lifesense, Okii, 360

and Xiaomi have launched various products in mobile phones, tablets, smart watches,

activity trackers by connecting healthcare, internet community, real-time communication

and smart functions to provide new use-cases and value. The low power and always-on

feature of 3D sensors are being increasingly acknowledged in wearable and mobile

applications.

China has mandated that every commercial aircraft have a HUD, for heads up display, that

shows from the airspeed, altitude, localizer and glideslope to the energy status of the

aircraft - a flight path (trend) vector (FPV) to pilots in the cockpit. China will also need to

add more than 6,000 planes to its commercial fleet to meet traffic demand through 2020.

This will create huge demand for 3D sensors in HUDs in civil aviation in China.

Smart homes is another segment that holds massive potential for 3D sensors. Although the

concept of smart home is still in the early stages of development in China, it promises to be

potential gold mine. The Chinese market for smart home systems and services is developing

rapidly as smart meter and smart city initiatives build the infrastructure and awareness

among consumers of the benefits of smart systems. Consumer spending on smart home

related hardware, services and installation fees will reach nearly $14 billion in 2017 and

grow to over $25 billion by 2023. With the advancement of network infrastructure and big

data transmission as well as the importance of energy saving, the 3D sensors have earned

increasing recognition on smart home application.
