IC Insights: CIS Sales Did Not "Surge" in 2021

IC Insights market report says that "Optoelectronics sales growth was muted in the 2021 rebound due to the lack of a surge in CMOS image sensors, which were held back by trade frictions and technology disputes between the U.S. and China, fluctuations in some key end-use applications, and shortages of ICs and other components used in digital-imaging systems. Optoelectronics sales increased 9% in 2021 to a record-high $47.9 billion, and the large CMOS image sensor category only grew 6% to $20.3 billion last year, says the January report."

Talking about the 2021 market observations, Tencent says that "Samsung has raised its CIS quotation since December 2020 by 40%, and the quotations of other CIS suppliers have also increased by about 20%."
