Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Avalanche Photodiode Market

1.         The COVID-19 pandemic caused a widespread economic downturn, with many countries imposing strict lockdowns to contain the virus. This led to the closure of on-premise business processes, disruptions in supply chains, and production schedules, negatively affecting businesses worldwide. The demand for avalanche photodiodes was particularly impacted due to the shutdown of consumer electronics, automobile, industrial, and other manufacturing facilities globally

2.       The initial closure of the manufacturing industry in China due to quarantine mandates created a ripple effect on the global economy. Industries heavily reliant on trade with China, such as semiconductors, consumer electronics, and electronic components production, were drastically affected. China, a major supplier of components for lighting, faced factory closures, leading to longer lead times, depleted inventories, and increased pricing.

3.       The electronics industry was notably impacted by the pandemic, with hypermarkets, supermarkets, and showrooms shutting down, affecting sales of various electronic devices. As the supply chain of the consumer electronics industry is heavily China-centric, the shutdown of manufacturing facilities in China disrupted the electronics industry globally.

4.      Moreover, the pandemic led to an increased demand for data storage to manage the vast amount of data generated. However, many small and medium-sized businesses temporarily or permanently shut down, hampering revenue growth in the data storage market. The overall decline in the demand for electronic components affected the hardware market, consequently impacting the avalanche photodiodes market. While the IT supply chain adjusted to the sudden shock, there was a short-term reduction in IT hardware spending by enterprises and industries, with a significant decline in spending on devices but a sustained uptick in cloud demand.

Rise in Demand for Avalanche Photodiodes in Healthcare Devices

·         There has been a growing demand for diagnostic devices in the healthcare sector in recent years. Avalanche photodiodes (APDs), silicon-based solid-state detectors that convert photons into charge current, are extensively used in medical instruments to measure oxygen concentration in the blood. APDs provide a compact, robust, magnetic field-insensitive solution for light and x-ray detections with gains on the order of 100 and fast response times.

·         APDs offer numerous benefits in the healthcare sector, including fast response time, high performance, and longer life. Optics has revolutionized medical practices by offering new approaches to major health problems such as heart disease, cardiovascular diseases, kidney stones, knee injuries, and eye diseases. The increasing use of optics and fiber optics has introduced less invasive ways of treating diseases, replacing open surgery with minimally invasive therapies. APDs are integrated with optical machines used during surgeries.

·         Various healthcare providers use APDs in devices to diagnose and monitor patients, employing immediate clinical management. Leading companies have started developing APDs specifically for the healthcare sector. For instance, Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. developed a silicon-based APD for X-ray timing measurements, capable of fast counting up to 108 counts per second using its output width, shorter than several nanoseconds.
