Scientific CMOS (sCMOS) style circuitry will likely make its way beyond its existing patent holders and go "mainstream" in the next few years.

sCMOS has a dynamic range of up to 1:27,000 in existing devices. Only EM-CCDs have lower effective read-noise - sCMOS devices have around 1-1.5 electrons read noise.
CCDs soak a huge amount of electricity compared to CMOS devices and I suspect between that and their serial nature will result in them being reduced to smaller and smaller markets. Outside of astronomy there are few niches where traditional CCDs are not outperformed by an alternative.
