Compact Camera Module Market Analysis
The Compact Camera Module Market is expected to register a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period.
- In the current scenario, being a part of the mobile manufacturing market supply chain is a key factor for success in the CCM market. For instance, the Korean ecosystem has observed sustained development due to the presence of Samsung and LG.
- The average selling price of the camera modules has continuously declined over the past few years. Along with that, the need for rapid innovations in the camera module is assisting in retaining dominance with the critical players in the market.
- The application of CCM in the automotive for advanced driving assistance and automotive electronics is driving the market for a compact camera module. The innovation in the CCM design has benefited the rising application in automobiles.
- A significant driver for this market has been the emergence of the automotive compact camera module as an integral factor for automated driving, automotive electronics, and advanced driver assistance. This is also reducing the average selling price of these compact modules. Therefore, the increasing demand for connected and autonomous vehicles will also offer a massive opportunity to the studied market vendors during the forecast period.
- Additionally, the demand for CMOS camera modules is increasing rapidly. CMOS sensors offer various advantages over CCD sensors, such as low power consumption, faster frame rate, ease of manufacturing, and low cost. Moreover, the advancements in CMOS design, like miniaturization, make it possible to achieve better performance and quality of images even in low light conditions.
- According to Sony Corporation, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a minimal effect on the production of image sensors (particularly CMOS image sensors), including any impact on the procurement of materials. However, owing to the aforementioned factors, the company only expects to take a hit in terms of supply chain issues for smartphone manufacturers. This has been positive news for end users that rely on Sony chips, as they need not face any issues in procuring image sensors for their latest products.
Compact Camera Module Market Trends
Mobile Sector to Hold the Largest Market Share
- The mobile segment holds the largest market share of the compact camera module market, owing to the growing consumer specifications and the stiff competitive nature of the market. Cameras have become a critical feature for mobile device manufacturers as the consumer's purchasing decision is also greatly dependent on the type of camera and pixel size.
- The CCM market is aided by the adoption of high-resolution cameras in mobiles and increased by the adoption of multiple front and back cameras. The increasing resolution requirement for rear and front-facing mobile cameras drives the market.
- Even though the smartphone market has reached the maturity level, the continuous advancement in the sensors technology and the trend toward the depth effect of mobile cameras has raised the application of multiple compact camera modules for each smartphone unit, increasing the demand for CCM in the segment.
- The increasing demand to improve cameras' resolution across smartphones of all ranges has enabled several manufacturers to launch new products. For instance, in June 2022, Samsung announced the smallest 200 Mega Pixel smartphone sensor. Samsung's ISOCELL HP3 image sensor features 0.56-micrometer (μm)-pixels which are 12 percent smaller in pixel size than the predecessor's 0.64μm.
- Moreover, in February 2022, OPPO announced a three-year strategic partnership with Hasselblad to help introduce new camera technologies to OPPO's flagship Find series of mobiles. Such instances drive the demand for compact camera modules over the forecast period.
- According to Ericsson, the number of smartphone subscriptions globally surpassed six billion in 2021 and is forecast to grow further by several hundred million in the next few years.
