More Market Views from Yole

As materials from Yole Developpement report "Status of the CMOS Image Sensors Industry" continue to trickle down, one more statement caught my attention:

"As volumes increase, a clear duality appears between companies that have adopted a growth strategy by focusing on low-end markets and those opting for a specialization in high-end and higher margin markets to maintain profitability such as STMicro and Aptina."


Regarding the hidden Y-axis scale, one can estimate it from the previously published data here.

P.S. Galaxycore's CAGR looks like much bigger than the stated 16%.

    So, although almost all the growth in the market was snagged by the 4 companies on the left, the ones on the right were the ones "maintaining profitability"? That seems like an implausible takeaway here, other than maybe with Canon.
