The global event camera market size was valued at USD 219.4 million in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 224.8 million in 2024 to USD 293.8 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period.


The event camera operates asynchronously, responding instantly to changes in the visual scene. This enables them to capture high-speed events with low latency. With high temporal resolution, these cameras can detect and capture rapid changes in the scene. This makes them well-suited for applications requiring precise timing, such as robotics, autonomous vehicles, and fast-moving object tracking. The ability to provide extremely high microsecond resolution allows these cameras to capture rapid changes in the scene with microsecond precision. This feature is ideal for image processing tasks that require accurate timing, such as tracking fast-moving objects or capturing dynamic scenes.


The high temporal resolution of event cameras makes them less susceptible to motion blur, which can be crucial in fast-moving aerospace scenarios. Drones, in particular, may need to navigate through dynamic and quickly changing environments, and the reduced motion blur helps maintain clarity in captured images. In addition, event cameras can be more power-efficient compared to traditional cameras, with very less power consumption of ~1mW.  This feature is valuable in applications with limited power resources, such as in battery-powered devices. With the emergence of electrically driven systems and solutions across a wide array of industries, power-efficient cameras might create a fair amount of traction of customers toward the products.


The COVID-19 pandemic showed a substantial impact on the market growth. The pandemic boosted the demand for the product in industrial automation, robotics, ADAS systems, and surveillance applications. Supply chain disruption and trade barriers slowed the manufacturing of event cameras and sensors. Due to the economic slowdown, the demand for automotive vehicles and AR/VR systems has all seen a substantial decline, ultimately impacting bio-inspired image sensors.

Event Camera Market Growth Factors


Rising Demand for Autonomous Driving to Boost the Growth of the Market


Event-based cameras find their potential application in object recognition, autonomous vehicles, and driver monitoring. Computer vision has been an important part of autonomous vehicle technology as it works asynchronously and operates on pixel intensities, high dynamic range, and intelligent activation of pixels. Several manufacturing companies are focused on developing sensors that measure intensity changes at individual pixel levels. Autonomous vehicles require image sensor technology that can potentially boost the market. For instance, neuromorphic vision systems, unlike conventional cameras, follow a series of events that capture time, location, and asynchronous changes in individual pixel brightness at real-time duration.


OEMs have been striving to invest in vehicle automation, with unmanned and autonomous vehicles having experienced strong growth prospects over the past few years and are anticipated to witness increased demand during the forecast period. Vehicles with ADAS systems are gaining popularity due to rising safety concerns among end-users.


Several OEMs in the automotive sector are demanding neuromorphic vision systems to support ADAS applications and enhance autonomous driving functionality.


This emerging technology is constantly experiencing high growth in automotive applications owing to rising demand for driver assistance systems. Increasing accidents across geographies is one of the prominent factors creating potential growth for ADAS systems in vehicles. ADAS systems heavily rely on neuromorphic camera-based technology, as it helps in safe driving based on real-time image capture.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Availability of Substitutes and High Manufacturing Cost May Hinder Market Growth


Though these cameras are innovative and offer several benefits, there have been limitations to their adoption across geographies as a result of limited infrastructure and ecosystem. Products require established infrastructure, such as standardized interfaces and software libraries for event-based data. Supply chain disruption and unavailability of raw materials such as silicon are further impacting the mass production of event-based cameras. The high dynamic range, long-range data-capturing capability, and massive cost of materials contribute to a high cost of ownership for end-users. These factors are expected to decline the event camera market growth in coming years.


The availability of CMOS cameras provides similar benefits as neuromorphic cameras. For instance, CMOS cameras offer high shutter speed, higher pixel density, and high dynamic range at a relatively lower cost. CMOS cameras gives a tough competition to these products, making them more preferred options for end-users.
