Global RGB-IR Image Sensor Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global RGB-IR Image Sensor market size is predicted to grow from US$ 437 million in 2025 to US$ 894 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.0% from 2026 to 2032.

RGB-IR (RGB-IR) is a different filter type where one of the green dots in the standard Bayer Color Filter Array (CFA) is replaced by a dot that allows near infrared (NIR) wavelengths to reach the sensor. This RGB-IR filter allows the sensor to be used as both a standard color and NIR sensor. This is very useful in applications where the camera needs to be used in very different lighting conditions (i.e. day and night): at night the scene can be illuminated with an infrared light source that is only visible to the camera and not to the human eye. Typical applications for RGB-IR cameras are surveillance (night vision), car interior monitoring, biometrics, etc.

RGB-IR Advantages: One sensor captures both spectra, saving cost and space (no additional camera or mechanically moving filters required).

RGB-IR Disadvantages: Lower resolution due to combining RGB and IR channel sampling into a single CFA pattern, and infrared contamination of the color channels in high infrared lighting conditions (sunlight, incandescent lamps), resulting in strange colors.

Global key RGB-IR Image Sensor players cover onsemi, ams-OSRAM, STMicroelectronics, Sony, Teledyne e2v, etc.
