Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Although imaging is one of the oldest industries, the dynamics of the industry and technology involved are rapidly evolving. More specifically, the following trends are driving the imaging industry:
Advances in medical diagnostic and therapeutic methodologies Overwhelming drive in the wireless telephony end-user equipment toward aiding mobility, miniaturization, and integration of rich multimedia capabilities Increasing acceptance of high-definition television (HDTV) in the consumer electronics space Steady growth in worldwide penetration of computing technologies for personal and enterprise usage Ongoing investments in defense- and security-related infrastructure by countries worldwide Global research and development (R&D) activity spanning across disciplines There is no single methodology for imaging processes; it differs vastly from application to application. This study identifies the common threads that bind these methodologies. These threads form a coarse template or framework of imaging processes. Having identified these threads, the report then places the various imaging components in their positions in this framework.
SCOPE OF STUDY
This report contains:
- Descriptions of various types of imaging components for the image capture, image analysis and image display stages, and for medical, mass consumption and industrial-scientific defense groups.
- The current global market status for imaging components, with trends and forecasts for growth over the next 5 years
- Technological issues including the latest trends and a thorough patent analysis
- Regional growth trends of end-user equipment
- Profiles of major industry players.
METHODOLOGY
The overall market size for individual components. Proportion/share of end-user equipment with imaging applications using these components. Regional growth trends of the end-user equipment. Segmentation of end-user equipment by application.
