Global Optocoupler Market Size, Share, Forecast Report 2019-2025

The global optocoupler market is projected to reach USD 2,450 million by 2025, while augmenting at a CAGR of 4.1% during 2019-2025. Factors attributing to the market growth are rapid advancement in optical wireless systems, and growing applications of optocoupler in many end-use industries. Moreover, increasing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles is further fueling the market growth. Additionally, emergence of digital optocoupler is likely to create more opportunities for optocoupler manufacturers. However, LED performance degradation over time is expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.

Optocoupler also called photocoupler, optical isolator, or opto-isolator, is a semiconductor component that provides an electrical isolation to circuits or elements of the circuits, while transmitting electrical signal between them. The opto-isolator uses light for the propagation of signal from two isolated circuits. It consists of LED, an insulating barrier, and a photosensitive semiconductor device such as photodiode or a phototransistor, and has the ability to withstand short term high-voltage transients. In addition, it protects the components as well as circuitry from voltage spikes. Optocouplers can be used as a signal converter in most of the industrial applications. Moreover, owing to its high performance, they are deployed in military applications where high reliability is needed.

Expanding applications of optocouplers in various end-use industries driving the market growth

The emerging trend of electric and hybrid vehicles have led to the increased demand of optocoupler. Moreover, major players such as Toshiba and Broadcom are also focusing on high-speed analogue-output optocouplers to meet the stringent power requirements of the industrial applications. Photo-coupler also aids in signal isolation by preventing the distortion of data from the suppression and filtration of common mode transients, which has resulted in an increased demand from the telecommunication sector.

Global Optocoupler Market – Regional Insight

Geographically, optocoupler market is segmented into North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Central & South America. North America dominated the market in 2018, and is expected to retain its dominance over the forecast period. The regional growth is attributed to the presence of prominent semiconductor manufacturers, and increasing deployment of the component in industrial equipment as well as in home appliances.
