Market Overview:
The global photoconductive detectors market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for infrared measurements, range finding, thermal imaging, heterodyne filtering, laser beam diagnostics and other applications across different regions. In addition, the growing adoption of photoconductive detectors in various industrial and commercial applications is also contributing to the growth of this market.
Product Definition:
A photoconductive detector is a type of radiation detector that uses a photoconductor to convert light energy into an electrical current. The importance of photoconductive detectors lies in their ability to detect very low levels of radiation, making them ideal for use in medical and scientific applications.
Lead Sulfide Detectors:
Lead sulfide detectors are one of the most important components in photodetectors. It is a semiconductor with an ability to break down light into various components such as electrons, ions and photons. Photons interact with the detector material to produce an electrical signal.
Lead Selenide Detectors:
Lead selenide is a compound of lead and selenium. It has a crystal structure like other group 14 elements, but it differs in having an additional pair of electrons in its outermost electron shell. This extra pair of electrons makes the bond between lead and Selenium stronger than average, thus making the material non-metallic. The compound is transparent at normal room temperature but when exposed to UV light it reacts with oxygen producing red light (as does all group 14 materials).
Application Insights:
The range finding application segment dominated the global market in 2017. The use of photoconductive detectors for ranging is based on the principles of quantum mechanics. It provides an effective solution to measure small angles and ensures better accuracy at longer ranges than other technologies such as radar or laser scanners. The detection of targets at long distances can be achieved through this technology owing to its high resolution and enhanced target identification capabilities.
The infrared measurements segment is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period due to its wide applications in various industries including automotive, building & construction, aerospace & defense, etcetera. Infrared light has different properties depending upon its wavelength; therefore, it can be used as a convenient tool for measuring temperature or identifying objects by their molecular composition (i.e., identify targets).
Regional Analysis:
The market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period owing to the rising demand for consumer electronics and increasing military & defense expenditure by countries such as China, India, Japan, South Korea. The presence of key manufacturers such as Toshiba Corporation; Sony Corporation; Samsung Group; LG Electronics Inc.; and Panasonic Corporation has fueled the growth of this region.
North America accounted for a major share in 2016 owing to high investments made by governments in R&D activities related to photovoltaic devices. In addition, growing adoption of these detectors across law enforcement agencies is anticipated to propel regional growth over the forecast period. Moreover, presence of prominent players with extensive product portfolios will continue driving industry expansion over next seven years.
Europe was valued at USD X million in 2016 and is projected to expand at a CAGR close on par with U.S.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for photoconductive detectors in the security and surveillance sector as they offer high detection accuracy
- Growing popularity of photoconductive detectors in the medical imaging sector due to their ability to provide high-resolution images
- Rising demand for photoconductive detectors from the semiconductor industry as they are used in wafer inspection and metrology applications
- Proliferation of nanotechnology that is aiding development of smaller and more efficient photoconductive detectors
- Growing investments in research and development activities for developing new applications for photoconductive detectors
