Market Sizes and Growth Print

Market Size By Unit

The low technology segments (Traditional and Low End) dominated the beginning (Round 0) sensor market in units sold (Table 5.1). However, the Traditional and Low End growth rates trail the growth rates for High End, Performance and Size (Table 5.2). By year five, High End, Performance and Size will command a greater percentage of the overall market (Table 5.3).

Traditional   Low End   High End   Performance   Size

Market Size By Dollar

The low technology segments (Traditional and Low End) dominated the Round 0 sensor market in dollars (Table 5.4). Unlike unit demand, the five-year dollar value for each segment is impossible to predict due to downward price pressure. Table 5.5 displays the dollar percentage for each segment using the beginning (Round 0) price data.
