Yole Group published a study of the image sensor market that shows Sony’s dominance in the image sensor market. Sony has managed to capture 24% of the market and growing while Canon is sitting at 1% and Panasonic <1%. You can read the full report which the above image comes from here. Of course, this chart includes all kinds of image sensors including industrial and camera phone sensors and they dwarf the camera market, which is why Sony is so big. It would be interesting to see how this chart would change if Samsung started making sensors for Apple’s iPhone.
