The Avalanche Photodiode Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2022 to reach $ 218.2 million by 2029. Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are extremely sensitive semiconductor devices that transform optical signals into electrical signals. APDs are operated under high reverse bias. They require additional electronic elements apart from the photodiode. These types of photodiodes incorporate thermos-sensors to provide better stability. APDs use four-channel transimpedance amplifiers for reduced noise, high impedance, and low power consumption. All these characteristics make the photodiode suitable for use in LIDAR (light detection and ranging) receivers. The materials used for manufacturing APDs include silicon, indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs), and germanium.
The growth of this market is driven by the rising demand for avalanche photodiodes in healthcare devices and the growing adoption of avalanche photodiodes in fiber optics. The growing demand for photonics and rising adoption of thermoelectric coolers (TECs) to temperature stabilize avalanche photodiodes are expected to create growth opportunities for players operating in the avalanche photodiode market. Output reliability issues and high operating costs are expected to remain a major challenge for market growth.
