Colour detection sensors market size

The global market size of colour detection sensor is expected to reach approximately US$ 2.7 billion by the end of 2026 from the US$ 1.2 billion in 2019. 

Analysis of colour detection sensors market

The growth of the industrial automation, coupled with demand for high efficiency will be some main drivers for the developments behind the global market for colour detection sensors. The key industries would be packaging, food, beverage, petrochemicals and hardware, chemicals, textiles.

Colour detection sensors are cost-effective, faster and easier to replace as compared to image sensors. In addition, the increasing use of metallic and lustre paint or inks will support the demand for superior colour sensors, luminosity and contrast sensors for accurate identification.

The growing technological advances and growth in industries lead to increased demand on the global market for colour detection sensors. Such devices are commonly used to recognise and differentiate different colours in different industries.

The ability to distinguish different objects with superior accuracy and precision by their respective colours will significantly drive the growth for these sensors. Colour detection sensors determine the colour of the object by observing the light reflected from the surface of the object.

However, the cost factor and the growing demand for precision will be some factors that will limit the market growth for colour sensors.
