North America Low light Imaging Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034
Description
The North America low light imaging market size reached USD 4.03 Billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.30% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a value of almost USD 10.74 Billion by 2034.
Increased focus on the prevention of illegal and criminal activities in the United States is expected to increase the adoption of security cameras, favourably impacting the North America low light imaging market growth. In 2023, 630 violent encounters happened in the USA which is an average of two accidents per day.
Miniaturisation of electronic parts and the evolution of smart features in gadgets have popularised the adoption of digital cameras. These cameras feature improved connectivity (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), automatic geotagging, and facial recognition.
As per the North America low light imaging market analysis, CMOS sensors are expected to lead the market demand. Rapid technological advancements have significantly improved image quality (number of pixels), quantum efficiency, and readout speed of CMOS sensors while eliminating Random Telegraph Noise (RTN). The price/performance ratio of CMOS sensors makes them suitable for industrial applications, and their low power consumption rate makes them more attractive than CCD sensors. Some CMOS sensors also have backside illumination (BSI) sensors which enables them to capture high-resolution pictures in low light conditions. Their high dynamic range makes them suitable for outdoor applications.
The applications of low light imaging sensors are expanding beyond traditional fields to sectors like entertainment and videography. Low light imaging is popular in Hollywood for shooting films that have elements of horror, mystery, or suspense. The increase in the number of psychological thriller series on OTT platforms is expected to increase the use of low light imaging technology to achieve improved outcomes.
