Ambient Light Sensor Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The increasing adoption of ambient light sensors in automotive displays is notably driving the ambient light sensor market growth, although factors such as the growing adoption of bezel-less screens may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the ambient light sensor industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Ambient Light Sensor Market Driver

The increasing adoption of ambient light sensors in automotive displays is one of the key drivers supporting the ambient light sensor market growth. Ambient lighting has become a necessary feature in luxury cars. Besides enhancing aesthetics, an ambient lighting system provides the right brightness for in-car displays day and night. For instance, Osram offers SFH 5701 A01 ambient light sensor, which helps the driver read the satnav screen or the speedometer in bright sunlight or any other weather condition. This ambient light sensor is an active component in which the IC is powered by the signal current. Therefore, it is not reliant on an external power supply. Furthermore, such ambient light sensors make the interior of a vehicle luxurious, sportier, and visually appealing. Such increasing adoption of ambient light sensors will drive market growth during the forecast period.

Key Ambient Light Sensor Market Trend

The rise in merger and acquisition activities is another factor supporting the ambient light sensor market growth. The benefits of strategic partnerships and M and A include an increase in revenue, the expansion of the geographical reach of products, product line extension, and resource sharing.  For instance, in March 2019, Renesas acquired Integrated Device Technology, a manufacturer of sensor products. This expanded ams Renesas product portfolio in the ambient light sensor and technology business. In July 2020, ams AG acquired Osram. This increased ams AG product portfolio in the ambient light sensor and technology business.  Moreover, an increase in M and A will result in the production of more efficient and high-performance sensors, which will be compatible with advanced technologies or components integrated into smartphones. Such factors will have a positive impact on the market during the forecast period.

Key Ambient Light Sensor Market Challenge

The growing adoption of bezel-less screens is one of the factors hindering the ambient light sensor market growth. Smartphone manufacturers are increasingly moving toward a bezel-less design. For instance, Apple offers iPhone X, which is slightly bigger than iPhone 8 Plus, but the screen size is actually larger than iPhone 8 Plus. This allows smartphone manufacturers such as Apple and Samsung Electronics to offer large screens while reducing the overall size of phones, making them more comfortable to hold. However, there are components such as display, earpiece, proximity sensor, light sensor, front-facing camera, home button, and a fingerprint sensor, which are integrated into the front end of a smartphone by default. Owing to the growing adoption of bezel-less screen designs, smartphone manufacturers have stopped integrating ambient light sensors into many smartphones, which reduces the use of light sensors in smartphonesThus, the growing adoption of bezel-less screens is adversely affecting the demand for ambient light sensors.

This ambient light sensor market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
