Sony predicts that the advanced smart phone image sensor market will expand by about 10% annually by 2030. With the popularization of automatic driving, sensors are indispensable for the vehicle to recognize obstacles and other functions, so the consultation from the automotive field is also greatly increased. Sony will increase its investment in image sensor equipment by 200billion yen to 900billion yen over the original plan within three years in fiscal year 2023 (March 2024).
In the field of global image sensors, Sony is a well deserved "brother" in the industry. According to the data of Strategy Analytics, a market research institution, Sony semiconductor solutions ranks first in the global smart phone image sensor market with 45% revenue share, followed by Samsung with 26% and Howe with 11%.
