It ICbureauights, CMOS image sensor sales this year will reach $ 6.3 billion, up 8 percent from last year. Away with annual sales of $ 6.3 billion, an increase of 29% over 2010, breaking the 2008's $ 4.6 billion of the highest historical record.


Most importantly, in 2011 the growth since 2006 CMOS image sensor market for the first time to achieve continuous growth.

2009 and 2007 Britain Watson Wchangeorganisation imported sensors years due to inventory corrections camera phones, CMOS image sensor market sales decreased by 16% and 14%.

Ten years ago, because of the rapid expansion of camera phones and laptop embedded camera, CMOS image sensor market sales rose rapidly, five years ago, and because the market is saturated and began to decline, causing part of the manufacturers to abandon the CMOS image sensor market.
However, due to a new application layer without a break has led to a new round of CMOS sensor fierce competition between giants.

In Japan, they were ranked third and fifth place Sony and Toshiba have increased the 300mm fab capacity.

Despite the slow growth, the camera phone is still the largest market for CMOS sensors.
