Sony's sensor business grows rapidly and will continue to increase market share

Sony's sensor business can be said to be fast-growing and occupy a leading position in market share as compared with Sony's overall financial difficulties.

The rapid growth of Sony's sensor business can be reflected in the data of last year. Sony occupied 37.3% of the sensor market in the fourth quarter of 2011, far behind other competitors. Whether it is the CCD market or the CMOS market, Sony ranks first. Sony accounted for 56.4% of the revenue in the CCD market, and the CMOS market revenue also reached $ 2 billion.

The Sony sensor market has a leading edge, mainly benefiting from the sale of high-end SLR/single-micro and single-camera cameras, high-end cameras and 8 megapixel camera phones. This makes Sony sensors have a constant high sensor shipments, and the actual shipments using sensor devices are also very high.

The industry expects that Sony will continue to expand its sensor market share this year, especially for back-illuminated sensors for micro-cameras and camera phones. Sony will continue to expand the leading edge of the sensor business and further occupy the market.
