Innovation Market Research center data shows that Japan is the biggest contributor to the UV Sensor revenue market

UV sensors, which convert light (photons) into electric current, are elements highly sensitive to the wavelength of light in the ultra-violet region. Ultra-violet light is classified as “UV-A”, “UV-B” and “UV-C”, depending on the wavelength and as the wavelengths become shorter more damage is caused to life forms. These sensors are used in industrial applications as light source monitors for equipment that sterilizes using UV-C with a short wavelength. Sensors used in our daily lives are primarily intended for detecting UV-A and UV-B ranges with longer wavelengths from UV light that is included in the sun's rays.

UV Sensor can be divided into three categories: UVA, UVB and UVC. UVA accounted for the highest proportion, with a figure of 52.15% in 2017, followed by UVC, account for 32.14% and UVB account for 15.71% in the revenue market. With the development of economy, Countries increasingly stringent environmental requirements, these industries will need more UV Sensors. So, UV Sensors has a huge market potential in the future.

The consumption market share of global UV Sensor in consumer electronics and industry has been stable year by year, at 81.35% and 18.65% respectively in 2017, and for several consecutive years, the amplitude was within 2 percent. This indicates that the segment of the UV Sensor in the global market tends to be fixed without great changes. Among them, the UV Sensor market has the most promising sales prospects in consumer electronics.
