TrendForce: Mobile phone camera module shipments to reach 4.844 billion in 2021, to grow 3% year-on-year next year

TrendForce's latest research report shows that thanks to the recovery in smartphone shipments and the increase in the proportion of mobile phone rear cameras using three lenses, the shipment of mobile phone lens modules is expected to reach 4.844 billion units this year, a year-on-year increase of 6%.

Regarding the shipment data forecast for 2022, the agency said that it expects smartphone shipments to increase by 3.3% year-on-year in 2022, and the penetration rate of rear three-lens cameras will continue to grow, and mobile phone lens module shipments will increase by 3% year-on-year.

However, the agency also pointed out that although the proportion of mobile phone rear camera modules using three or four lenses continues to grow, in terms of new lens technologies, mobile phone manufacturers have a relatively low adoption rate of 8P lenses, and 9P is still in the introduction design stage.

Talking about the 8P lens, Largan Precision CEO Lin Enping said a few days ago that there have been new breakthroughs in optical technology. Next year, more mobile phone customers will introduce high-end lenses such as 8P, and the pixel upgrade will reach 100 million or 200 million pixels next year.
