Research and Markets: Image Sensors 2009: Camera Phones Continue to Dominate Shipments Worldwide

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/08e35f/image_sensors_2009) has
announced the addition of the "Image Sensors 2009: Camera Phones Continue to
Dominate Shipments Worldwide" report to their offering.

The 2008 area image sensor market saw strong growth, primarily coming from two
applications: camera phones and embedded PC cameras. Camera phones comprised
over 80% of all shipped image sensors in 2008, with recent growth coming from
the continuing penetration of dual-camera phones used primarily in Asian
markets.

Embedded PC cameras, although not a major force today, should become extremely
popular over the next few years, with the majority of notebook PCs shipping with
them by 2012. Embedded PC cameras are expected to surpass digital still cameras
in 2011.

CCD continues to lose ground to CMOS in all applications, including digital
still cameras, a market that was once dominated by CCDs. Although in years past
CMOS had only been used in DSLR cameras, point-and-shoot digital cameras with
CMOS are now on the market.

In 2008, CMOS sensors accounted for 87% of area image sensor shipments; by 2013,
CCD is expected to comprise less than 4% of the total area image sensor market.
This report focuses on the area-array image sensor market and provides both CCD
and CMOS annual penetration into 11 separate applications through 2013.
