Avalanche photodiode (APD) is a sensitive semiconductor device that exploits the photoelectric effect to convert light into electricity. These photodiodes are primarily used to measure the lower level light and are used in a wide range of applications that require high sensitivity such as long-distance & optical-distance optical communications.

The growing use of optical technology in the industrial sector, the rise in digitization in emerging countries, and the surge in the demand for diagnostic devices & systems in the healthcare sector are some of the key factors propelling the market growth. Moreover, the rising adoption of optics in R&D activities is another key factor augmenting the product demand. However, technical issues related to the use of avalanche photodiodes are likely to hamper industry growth.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 outbreak has moderately affected the Avalanche Photodiode (APD) industry. This is mainly due to soaring coronavirus cases, the implementation of stringent lockdown measures, and limited movement of people to curb the spread of the virus. This resulted in supply chain disruption and restrictions in transportation, which further affected product demand.

Segment Analysis

By Type

The avalanche photodiode market is categorized into silicon-based, indium gallium arsenide, germanium materials, and others. The silicon-based segment held a significant market share in 2021 and is estimated to register a healthy CAGR during the forecast timeline. Silicon-based avalanche photodiodes are sensitive in the wavelength region from ≈ 450 to 1000 nm, with the maximum responsivity occurring around 600–800 nm, and are cheaper than other types. Also, silicon-based APDs offer high sensitivity ranging from UV to NIR for low light detection at high speeds, thereby bolstering segment growth.

Regional Analysis

The Asia Pacific market accounted for a significant share in 2021 and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the following years. This is mainly ascribed to the strong presence of consumer electronics and semiconductor companies in South Korea, China, Taiwan, and Japan. Also, increasing product adoption in industrial, medical, and mobility sectors for laser devices and optical scanners, further proliferates the regional market growth.
