Global Time of Flight (ToF) Camera Industry Market - Growth Drivers, Opportunities and Forecast Analysis to 2023
Summary -
A new market
study, titled “Global Time of Flight (ToF) Camera Industry Market - Growth Drivers,
Opportunities and Forecast Analysis to 2023” has been featured on WiseGuyReports.
Time-of-flight camera (ToF camera) is
a range imaging camera system that employs time-of-flight techniques to resolve
distance between the camera and the subject for each point of the image, by
measuring the round trip time of an artificial light signal provided by a laser
or an LED.
Advantages of ToF cameras
• Simple and compact compared to
other systems; no moving parts inside and the illumination unit is kept just
next to the lens.
• Long and accurate (even in
centimetres) working distance.
• Wide application range; depends
neither on whether the object has feature point or not nor on the nature of
ambient light (strong or weak).
• Uses only a little amount of
processing power.
• Faster than other 3D laser
scannings; can operate up to 160 images per second.

ToF's receiving-end sensor chip is
still dominated by Sony. Sony and Samsung, as the leading companies in image
sensor chips, have also accumulated a lot in the TOF market and will become the
main market leader in the future.
Following are the segments covered by
the report are:
CMOS Time-of-flight Camera
CCD Time-of-flight Camera
By Application:
Consumer Electronics
Robotics and Drone
Machine Vision and Industrial
Automation
Entertainment
Security and Surveillance
Automotive
Others
In the time of (ToF) cameras, cars
account for a high proportion, about 26%. Consumer electronics is in second
place, about 18%, and it continues to grow.
Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in
December 2019, the disease has spread to almost 100 countries around the globe
with the World Health Organization declaring it a public health emergency. The
global impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are already starting
to be felt, and will significantly affect the Beta-Galactosidase Assay Kits
market in 2020.
COVID-19 can affect the global
economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand, by
creating supply chain and market disruption, and by its financial impact on
firms and financial markets.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has brought
effects on many aspects, like flight cancellations; travel bans and
quarantines; restaurants closed; all indoor events restricted; over forty
countries state of emergency declared; massive slowing of the supply chain;
stock market volatility; falling business confidence, growing panic among the
population, and uncertainty about future.
This report also analyses the impact
of Coronavirus COVID-19 on the Time of (ToF) Camera industry.
Based on our recent survey, we have
several different scenarios about the Time of (ToF) Camera growth rate for
2020. The probable scenario is expected to grow by a -8.4% in 2020 and the
revenue will be 3807 in 2020 from US$ 4156 million in 2019.
ToF cameras in smartphones
For the advanced working process, ToF
cameras are generally faster and more accurate than secondary depth sensors and
structured light 3D cameras. For that, it can be used in smartphones for
several things：
On Rear Side: ToF cameras can be used
on the rear side of smartphones for -
• Capturing better portrait shots.
• Enabling improved depth effects.
• Scanning 3D subjects or objects.
On Front Side: ToF cameras can be
used on the front side of smartphones for -
• Enabling advanced facial
recognition technology.
• Having better depth and
beautification effects.
• Letting users use ‘touch-free’
gestures.
In 2017, the Time of (ToF) Camera had
fewer applications, but with the development of technology, in 2019, Huawei
released the P30 series and added ToF lenses for the first time. After that,
some high-end machines use ToF cameras. The ToF camera market is very
prosperous and will be the mainstream of mobile phone cameras in the future.
However, due to the impact of new coronavirus pneumonia in 2020, the global ToF
camera market will decline slightly.
Time of (ToF) Camera Upstream
Industry
GaAs Wafer
According to a QYR survey, the global
market size of upstream GaAs epitaxial wafers reached USD 1.1 billion in 2018.
GaAs epitaxial wafers use the epitaxial production outsourcing model in the
field of RF applications, which are basically monopolized by four companies,
namely, British IQE, Taiwan VPEC (New Optoelectronics), Japan's Sumitomo
Chemical and Taiwan's IntelliEPI. IQE is the sole supplier of VCSEL epitaxial
wafers in iPhone. 2018 year.
IQE's market share in the global EPI
epitaxial wafer market has reached 60%, and its market share corresponding to
VCSEL applications has reached 80%. Taiwan's brand-new Optoelectronics is
expected to become Apple's second supplier. The company has accumulated 15
years in the field of EPI epitaxial wafers, and has now sent samples of VCSEL
epitaxial wafers to Apple. Domestic GaAs epitaxial wafer manufacturers are
mainly concentrated in the LED application field. This application field mainly
uses IDM production methods, such as Sanan Optoelectronics and Qianzhao
Optoelectronics.
