Global SPAD based Sensor Market Growth 2025-2031

The global SPAD based Sensor market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1180 million in 2025 to US$ 2824 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.7% from 2025 to 2031.

SPAD based sensors refer to sensors based on SPAD arrays. At present, the main products on the market are dToF sensors based on SPAD arrays. The D-ToF method detects the distance between an object by emitting short pulses of light and measuring the time required for the emitted light to return. This method can be used to measure the distance of objects tens or hundreds of meters away, but requires the use of single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) components with ultra-high efficiency characteristics.

Global key players of SPAD based Sensor include STMicroelectronics, ams OSRAM and Sony, etc. The top three players hold a share over 90%. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, has a share about 67%. In terms of product type, 3D dToF Sensor is the largest segment, occupied for a share of about 94%, and in terms of application, Consumer Electronics has a share about 87 percent.
