Photointerrupter Market

Increasing Use of Gallium Arsenide Infrared LEDs to Fuel Photointerrupter Market Growth

Photointerrupters are increasingly being used in a variety of industries, including industrial equipment, office equipment, home appliances, and consumer electronics. Various trade shows and expos have also assisted photointerrupter manufacturing companies in expanding their customer base and significantly contributing to the growth of global photointerrupter market. The Photointerrupters industry sold 1104 M pieces in 2018 and is expected to reach 1976 M pieces by 2025. Photointerrupter detects light blockage when a target object comes between both elements, acting as an optical switch. Gallium Arsenide Infrared LEDs are the most used light sources in photointerrupters. Shielded NPN silicon phototransistors are the most used detection elements. The increasing use of gallium arsenide infrared LED in night vision cameras is the primary market driver. For instance, gallium arsenide infrared LEDs with wavelengths of 940nm are widely used in remote controllers, while gallium arsenide infrared LEDs with wavelengths of 808nm are widely used in medical treatment appliances and space optical communication.

Some photointerrupters have optical encoding, which allows them to detect direction and speed. Its applications have grown exponentially in combination with the rise of industrial automation, which is driving its market. The global industrial automation market has grown from US$175 Bn in 2020 to US$190 Bn in 2021.

Technological Advancements, and Boom Around Digital Photography Foster Adoption  

Camera category is expected to dominate the global photointerrupter market. Recent technological advancements, as well as the growing number of digital photography platforms and social media platforms, have given the market vendors new hope.
