LEDinside: Biometric Sensors and Monitoring Applications to Elevate IR LED’s Market Scale


2016-08-11 Optical Semiconductors editor

IR LEDs have a long history of development and are used in a wide range of applications on a daily basis. Following the introduction of biometric sensors and biometric identification to smartphones and wearable devices, IR LED can also be used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Varied applications of IR LEDs hold great potential in the future. LEDinside estimates that the market value of IR LED (excluding sensors) will reach US $710 million at 24% CAGR by 2020, making it the new blue sea for LED manufacturers.

2015 – 2020 Market Value of IR LED 

 
In 2016, heavy losses from backlighting and lighting applications urged LED manufacturers to seek niche applications. Manufacturers started to shift their focus from conventional backlighting and lighting applications to invisible light applications that were previously less explored, including UV LEDs and IR LEDs.
 
The technology of IR LED is relatively matured, which promises stable profit. With the emergence of varied new applications, IR LED is expected to become highlighted technology to LED manufacturers again.
 
Conventional IR LED applications include sensors of automatic faucet, remote controls of TV or air conditioner and infrared security camera. Technologies include sensors and image identification play important parts in the emerging Internet of Things (IoT), biometric identifications, and wearable devices. Infrared LED becomes essential supportive light source for these emerging technologies. With the combination of sensors and identification technologies, IR LEDs can be utilized in special applications include iris identification and facial identifications. Meanwhile, it can also be installed to wearable devices for biometric sensors that monitor and analyze body status for health management tools.
 
With the maturing technologies of novel applications, IR LED is expected to hold great market potential. LEDinside estimates that the market value of IR LED (excluding sensors) is to reach US $710 million at 24% CAGR by 2020, making it the new blue sea for LED manufacturers.
