Market Overview:
The global time-of-flight (ToF) chip market is expected to grow at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for 3D sensing and gesture recognition applications in smartphones, tablets, and other consumer electronics products. Additionally, the growing demand for ToF chips in automotive applications such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving is also contributing to the growth of this market. However, factors such as high manufacturing costs and limited product differentiation are restraining the growth of this market. The global time-of-flight (ToF) chip market can be segmented on the basis of type into indirect ToF chips and direct ToF chips. The indirect ToF chip segment is expected to account for a larger share of this market than the direct ToF chip segment during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. This can be attributed to its lower manufacturing costs as compared with direct ToF chips.

Product Definition:
A time-of-flight (ToF) chip is a type of semiconductor chip that is used to measure the time it takes for a pulse of light to travel from the chip to an object and back. This information can be used to calculate the distance between the object and the chip. Time-of-flight chips are often used in conjunction with other sensors, such as cameras or accelerometers, to create more accurate 3D mapping and tracking applications.
Indirect:
Indirect time-of-flight is a method to measure the time of flight between two events that are separated in space and time. It measures the interval between an event occurrence and its detection. The indirect measurement of duration involves measuring some characteristics or attributes about a subject which form an indirect indication of duration.
Direct:
Direct is a technology that enables the transmission of data without any conversion or processing. It uses laser for transferring information. Direct can be used in various applications such as optical computing, secure communication, and high-speed networking. The major advantage of direct is that it provides a reliable and error-free method to communicate over long distances using light as an information carrier.
Application Insights:
The smartphone segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The high adoption of smartphones has led to an increase in demand for ToF sensors that can track movements with great accuracy. These sensors are used in smartphones to enable features such as 3D scanning, laser projection, and time-lapse photography among others.
Tablet application segment is also expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to increasing demand from education sector for tablets with advanced features such as educational software, interactive whiteboard apps, and stylus pens. Furthermore, growing usage of these devices by medical professionals for diagnosis purposes is anticipated fuel industry growth further.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The regional growth is attributed to the presence of major players, increased adoption of ToF technology by consumers and OEMs, and high demand for consumer electronics with enhanced features. Moreover, increasing government funding for research & development activities pertaining to time-of-flight sensors will boost regional growth over the forecast period.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to witness significant growth over the next eight years owing to rapid developments taking place in end-use industries such as healthcare and automotive across countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, India among others.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for 3D sensing in smartphones and other consumer electronics
- Rising demand for ToF sensors in automotive applications
- Growing popularity of gesture-based controls
- Proliferation of AR and VR applications
- Advances in semiconductor fabrication technology
