WHAT WE GOT RIGHT, WHAT WE GOT WRONG

Yole’s CIS forecasts over the years

Yole is again upping its forecast for CMOS image sensors.

Driven mostly by multi-camera approaches and the introduction of new sensors in smartphones, 2018 CIS revenue was correctly predicted by our forecast.

Yole is upping its forecast for the next 5 years.

2019 CMOS IMAGE SENSOR INDUSTRY STATUS REPORT

Not deviating from last year’s forecast in the “Status of CIS industry 2018”, the CIS industry has ended upwhere analysts thought the market would be at this time of year. It successfully achieved 11% YoY growthamid a global semiconductor recession.

This performance is mainly due to the sustainability of the mobile market. Globally the CMOS ImageSensor industry thrived. In 2018, the industry reached the $15.5B revenue mark and Yole’s expectation isfor 8.1% CAGR for 2018 – 2024. Revenue should hit $24B in just five years. At the beginning of 2019,security and automotive became the second and third largest CIS market segments.

With regard to end-products, it seems that “all markets except mobile” are on a downward slope:consumer photography (DSC, DSLR, action cameras, drones) and computing (PC, laptop, tablets) have beensliding since 2012; the automotive and industry market downturn has also been influenced by the knock-on effect brought by the China-US trade war; nevertheless positive news from China shows that growthcould resume in 2020 as the market seems to have bottomed.

Having reached $15.5B, CMOS image sensors are now highly-visible semiconductor products.

CMOS IMAGE SENSOR LANDSCAPE

2018 market landscape, by application

While feature-phone cameras are slowly retreating, rear and front cameras for smartphones remain the key applications for CMOS image sensors.

Automotive ADAS image sensors have quickly established themselves as a dynamic application, along with surveillance.

Mobile is king,but it is not alone.

CIS - MAIN TECHNOLOGY TRENDS

2019 conclusions

• Technology race remains a key aspect of competition, driving developments in smaller pixels and 3Dsemiconductor technologies.

• Over the years, significant improvements have been made to the CIS manufacturing process. Theindustry has transitioned from FSI to BSI and now toward stacked BSI, where TSVs are used to makeconnections to the sensor array and the logic die. Now the standard technique has moved to hybridstacking.

• New CIS sensing approaches are transforming the technology landscape formerly dominated by a singlepixel type. New pixel designs, namely GS and ToF, have gained significant market access, and the next tobe adopted could be event-based (EB) pixels.

• The next technology challenge is the integration of Artificial Intelligence within CIS sensors, whichcould use FD-SOI nodes, 28-22nm node.

Imaging still evolving quickly.
