Image Sensors - A Global Market Review

NEW YORK, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Image Sensors - A Global Market Review

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0164487/Image-Sensors---A-Global-Market-Review.html

Macroeconomic factors, technological developments, consumer spending patterns and the level of dynamism in end-use and original equipment markets are factors influencing the image sensors market. Although expected to bear the brunt of the eclipsing popularity of CMOS sensors, use of CCD sensors in medical, scientific and industrial cameras is expected to continue unchallenged. For instance, X-ray crystallography (backed by proteomics boom) demands large pixel devices with high dynamic range, which is offered by only CCD sensors. Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) sensors are expected to find lucrative market opportunities in the video-enabled cell-phone end-use market. The waxing demand for high quality resolution images in most end-use applications is expected to help high-end image sensors score considerable gains.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "Image Sensors: A Global Market Review" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
