Market Share of Photonic Sensors Industry
The photonic sensors market is semi-consolidated, and the major players have used various strategies, such as joint ventures, new product launches, partnerships, and others, to increase their footprints in this market to sustain in the long run. Some of the key market players are Banner Engineering Corp., Baumer Holding AG, STMicroelectronics NV, Hamamatsu Photonics KK, and Omron Corporation.
- February 2024 - Sick announced the "world's first" photoelectric sensor equipped with a touchscreen. The Sick W10 is a "world-first" photoelectronically powered sensor with an integrated touchscreen display. Designed for "universal use and ease of deployment," the W10 offers "unrivaled precision detection technology" and "unmatched versatility" for hundreds of food and beverage (F&B) applications. The photoelectronically-powered W10 uses smart onboard algorithms built on the knowledge gained from the industry's most common applications to deliver "high reproducibility across the board."
- January 2024 - STMicroelectronics (ST) collaborated with Sphere Entertainment Co. to develop the world's largest image sensor, the 316-megapixel Big Sky camera sensor for Sphere's Big Sky system. ST collaborated with Sphere Studios to develop an 18K sensor, the first of its kind, capable of producing images at the resolution and fidelity needed for Sphere's display. The 316-megapixel resolution of the Big Sky is nearly 7x larger than a full-frame sensor and 40x more resolution than full-frame commercial cameras. The die is 9.92 cm x.8.31 cm 2, which is twice the size of a wallet-size photograph. Only four full die fits on a 300 mm wafer.
