A silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) is a photodetector, which encounters the issue of timing, sensing, & quantifying low-light signals into the single-photon level. Usually, the silicon photomultiplier offers a better substitute of photomultiplier tube that combines the low-light recognition capabilities of the photomultiplier tube with all the benefit of a solid-state sensor.
It also provides several features such as insensitivity to magnetic fields, low-voltage operation, mechanical strength, and exceptional uniformity of response, which makes it suitable for various applications, such as hazard & threat detection, medical imaging, and LiDAR. Also, photo detection efficiency of silicon photomultiplier ranges from 20 to 50%, depends on wavelength & device, which is similar to a traditional silicon PMT (photomultiplier tube's).
The global silicon photomultiplier market revenue is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period, owing to factors such as rise in need for accurate diagnosis in the healthcare industry and increase in demand for advanced driver assistance system. Furthermore, silicon photomultipliers are extensively used for a range of applications, including threat detection, recycling, and 3D ranging.

Covid-19 Impact Analysis
The arrival of COVID-19 has significantly affected the electronics and semiconductor sector. Business and manufacturing units across various countries were closed, owing to increase in number of COVID-19 cases, and are estimated to remain closed in 2021. Furthermore, partial or complete lockdown has disrupted global supply chain posing challenges for manufactures to reach customers.
The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the society and overall economy across the globe. The impact of this outbreak is growing day-by-day as well as affecting the overall business globally. The crisis is creating uncertainty in the stock market, falling business confidence, massive slowing of supply chain, and increase in panic among the customer segments.
The Asian and European countries under lockdowns have suffered major loss of business and revenue, due to the shutdown of manufacturing units in the region. The operations of the production and manufacturing industries have been heavily impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease, which leads to impact the growth of the silicon photomultiplier market revenue in 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the electronics sector as the production facility have stalled, which in turn have the significant demand for electronics and semiconductor products in the industries. Its major impact includes, a large-scale manufacturing interruption across Europe, interruption in Chinese parts exports, which may hinder the silicon photomultiplier market.
