Frame-Transfer CCD Image Sensors Market Analysis:
The global Frame-Transfer CCD Image Sensors Market size was valued at US$ 876 million in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 1.25 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period 2025-2032.
Frame-Transfer CCD Image Sensors Market Overview
Frame Transfer CCDs are inherently progressive scan. They capture a full frame in a single shutter (integration) period. They differ from Interline Transfer CCDs because they do not have a pixel storage area next to the active pixel and instead have a duplicate sensor used for storage below the active sensor. So for example a 640×480 pixel Frame Transfer sensor has a 640×480 active pixel array above another 640×480 storage pixel array. The storage pixels are masked (covered) so that no photons can hit them.
