Global Semiconductor Photodetectors Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Semiconductor Photodetectors market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1482 million in 2025 to US$ 2728 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2026 to 2032.
A Semiconductor Photodetector is a device that detects light and converts it into an electrical signal by utilizing the properties of semiconductors. Photodetectors are used to sense optical signals and are critical components in a wide range of applications, including imaging systems, optical communication, and scientific instruments. When light photons are absorbed by the semiconductor material, they excite electrons, creating electron-hole pairs that generate an electric current or voltage, which can be measured and processed.Semiconductor photodetectors typically operate in the visible, ultraviolet (UV), or infrared (IR) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, and are made from materials such as silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), gallium arsenide (GaAs), or indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs), depending on the wavelength of light they are designed to detect.
