Market Overview:
The global image processing unit market is expected to grow at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the image processing unit market can be attributed to the increasing demand for smartphones and other consumer electronics products, rising security concerns, and advancements in gaming technology. The global image processing unit market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into 2K, 4K, 8K. On the basis of application, it is divided into smartphones; security/surveillance; gaming; automotive; medical imaging; camera modules/cameras for drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs); and others (including industrial inspection).
Product Definition:
The image processing unit (IPU) is a key component of most digital cameras. It is responsible for performing all the operations necessary to convert the raw data captured by the camera's image sensor into a viewable image. This includes reducing noise, adjusting color balance and exposure, and adding features such as sharpening and saturation enhancement. The IPU can also be used to create special effects, such as simulating depth of field or motion blur.
2K:
2K is a term used for digital imaging and refers to the resolution of images that can be captured in a horizontal by using 1,000 lines of pixels. The higher the number, the better the image quality. 2K resolution has become popular among consumers as it offers superior picture quality with less noise than full HD and 4K resolutions.
4K:
4K is a term used for denoting four times the resolution of HD. It has several different aspects and levels such as 4K TV, 4K monitor, 4K display and so on. The common factor among all these is that they have higher resolution than full HD (720p or 1080i) which makes them better for viewing images with more details.
Application Insights:
Smartphones was the dominant segment in 2017 and is expected to maintain its lead over the forecast period. The growing use of image processing units in smartphones for camera functions, optical zoom, and other functionalities is projected to drive demand over the next six years. Image processing units are also used in security/surveillance applications as they offer high performance solutions at low costs. Furthermore, gaming consoles use image processing chips to enhance their graphics rendering capabilities which further fuels product demand.
The medical application segment accounted for a significant market share owing to increasing adoption of advanced imaging technologies such as X-ray machines and MRI scanners across hospitals & clinics worldwide. Moreover, these devices help detect diseases early through screening methods such as breast cancer screening using mammography or prostate cancer screening using PSA tests; this factor alone is expected fuel growth during the forecast period (2018 - 2030).
Regional Analysis:
The market in North America is expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for high-quality image processing units from various end-use industries such as security and surveillance, gaming, automotive, and others. The region accounted for more than 35% of the overall revenue share in 2017.
Increasing demand for smartphones with high-quality cameras has resulted in an increased number of applications that consume large amounts of computing power. This has led to an increase in sales volume of image processing units across this region over the past few years. The U.S., being one of the most lucrative markets across this industry, is also anticipated to be a major consumer market within North America during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030 (USD CAGR 2K8).
Asia Pacific is estimated to be one among fastest growing regions due its developing economies such as China.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for advanced image processing in consumer electronics and automotive applications
- Growing demand for security cameras and surveillance systems
- Proliferation of 4K video content and the increasing demand for high-resolution image processing
- Rising adoption of machine learning and artificial intelligence across a range of industries
- Growing number of data centers that require high-performance image processing
