A high speed camera is a device used for capturing events with frame rates ranging up to several million fps, and with resolutions ranging from less than 1 mega pixel to multiple mega pixels. The overall value chain of the high speed camera market is closely interlinked with the traditional image sensors and components industry’s value chains, and has been expanding rapidly and shaping into a strong, well-connected chain over the past few years. Several new products and models, with new frame rate and resolution features, have been introduced in response to the potential of high speed cameras in various applications.
The global high speed camera market is a fragmented one, for these cameras have found use in these multiple fields – industrial manufacturing, research and design, military, defense and aerospace, and entertainment and media. The industrial manufacturing field offers a huge potential for the high speed camera industry to grow, due to the advanced and suitable features offered by high speed cameras versus other technologies. Research and design is the primary field responsible for the commercial birth of high speed camera technology on a large scale, while the entertainment and media field is an emerging market offering lots of space for high speed camera technology to penetrate.
The global high speed camera market is expected to grow from $200.27 million in 2014 to $274.46 million in 2020 at a CAGR of 5.39%. Unit volumes are estimated to grow from 4332 units in 2014 to 7312 units in 2020. This growth is powered in part by the growing industrial manufacturing market for high speed cameras. The associated image sensor market is also expected to grow rapidly in the coming five years.
