Segmental Analysis :

The Photodiode Market is segmented into five major segments based on type, material, mode of operation, end-user, and region.

Based on type, the market is divided into PIN Photodiode, PN Photodiode, Schottky Photodiode, and Avalanche Photodiode.

  • The PIN photodiode is expected to have the fastest CAGR from 2023 to 2031 and also hold the largest market share of 37.4% in 2022 due to its high sensitivity and ability to detect low-intensity light.

Based on the material, the market is segmented into Germanium, Silicon, Indium Gallium Arsenide, Gallium Phosphide, and others.

  • The largest market share in 2022 was held by silicon, as it possesses properties like moderate bandgap, is less expensive, and does not require a dedicated power supply.
  • In the forecasted period, the Indium Gallium Arsenide photodiodes are expected to witness the fastest CAGR due to their sensitivity in the near-infrared spectrum, and rising application in telecommunications, and spectroscopy.

On the basis of the mode of operation, the market is bifurcated into Photoconductive Mode (Reverse Bias) and Photovoltaic Mode (Zero-Bias).

  • In 2022, the photovoltaic mode accumulated the largest part of the market due to the independence of photovoltaic mode photodiodes on the external bias.
  • The photoconductive mode is expected to register the fastest CAGR during the forecasted period due to its advantages over photovoltaic like higher sensitivity and amplification.

Based on end-users, the market is categorized into Telecommunications, Aerospace & Defense, Healthcare, Automotive, Consumer Electronics, and Others.

  • The telecommunications industry held the largest market share in 2022 due to the vast applications of photodiodes in the industry such as the conversion of optical signals to electrical signals, receiving and transmitting signals.
  • The consumer electronics segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR from 2023 to 2031 due to the rise of photodiodes usage in electronic devices for ambient light sensing and proximity sensing.

By region, the market is segregated into regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America.

  • In 2022, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for the largest market share valued at USD 276.89 Million and is also expected to register the fastest CAGR of 8.5% to reach USD 525.62 Million in 2030.
  • China alone held the maximum revenue share of 33.40% in 2022 due to the rise in manufacturing industries in recent years.
