The O-S-D (opto, sensors, discretes) sector will grow 9% this year after 1% growth in 2012 and 2013, reports IC Insights. This year sales should reach a record $68.9 billion.
The CAGR between 2013 and 2018 is projected at 6.8% with the market reaching $81.5 billion in 2017, a bit better than the 6.4% CAGR recorded for O-S-D sales in the past five years (2008-2013).
Optoelectronics is expected to continue to be the most consistent growth segment in the O-S-D marketplace during the next several years, primarily do to strong demand for CMOS image sensors in a wide range of embedded applications (such as image recognition, medical, video-surveillance networks, and automotive systems) and climbing sales of laser transmitters for high-speed optical communication networks.
However, optoelectronics growth has been dampened in recent years by price erosion in lamp devices due to the build up of worldwide capacity for high-brightness LEDs, which are becoming cheaper for solid-state lighting applications in homes, businesses, outdoors, and automobiles.
The other two O-S-D segments – sensor/actuator products and discrete semiconductors – are climbing out of their two-year slump.
During the past several years, sensors and actuators have been the fastest growing semiconductor market segment but double-digit percentage sales increases in this category came to a screeching halt in 2012 when high-flying demand for acceleration and yaw-rate sensors slowed and average selling prices (ASPs) fell by 10%.
Accelerometers and gyroscopes (movement-measuring devices) are expected to remain the largest sensor product category through 2018 but faster-growing pressure and magnetic-field sensors are forecast to gain marketshare over the next four years.
