隨著全球消費性電子產品成長放緩的趨勢，光電大廠逐漸將部分產品轉移到醫療市場，投入或投資相關醫療產業的研究合作。以日本為例，2010年消費電子銷售達顛峰後，某些消費電子產品銷售量急速下滑，如電視、相機等，而醫療器材則持續緩慢成長。隨著人口結構老化，未來先進醫療領域有望快速成長，據市調機構Seed Planning預測，日本2030年醫療相關產品的市場將成長到51億美元，規模將為2015年的20倍。

As the growth of global consumer electronics products slows down, photonics manufacturers gradually transfer some of their products to the medical market and invest in research in related medical industries. Take Japan as an example. After consumer electronics sales peaked in 2010, the sales volume of certain consumer electronics products, such as televisions and cameras, fell sharply, while medical equipment continued to grow slowly. With the aging population structure, the advanced medical field is expected to grow rapidly in the future.
