COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Declines in Consumer Demand for Mobile Phones and other Electronic Devices

During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, many handset flash LED module manufacturers faced a shortage of raw materials, components, and other critical supplies, leading to production delays and reduced output. Additionally, many manufacturing facilities were shut down or operated at reduced capacity due to lockdowns and social distancing measures, further impacting production volumes. Also, the pandemic led to a decline in consumer demand for mobile phones and other electronic devices. However, the market is expected to recover in the long term as demand for high-quality cameras in mobile phones continues to grow.

LATEST TRENDS

Trend of Advanced Colour Temperature Control Feature Expand the Market Scope

The market for handset flash LED modules is characterized by continuous innovation and the introduction of new technologies and features with which the market is predicted to witness its potential growth rate in the upcoming years. Lately, advanced colour temperature control feature is a trend in the market. Flash LED module manufacturers are introducing modules with advanced colour temperature control, allowing the module to produce light with a more natural colour temperature that closely mimics natural sunlight. This helps to improve image quality by reducing colour distortion and producing more accurate colours. Furthermore, some flash LED modules now come with integrated image processing capabilities, allowing the module to adjust the lighting based on the scene being photographed. This can help to improve image quality by reducing overexposure or underexposure in certain parts of the image. Therefore, these trends are attributed to the spike in the demand for the handset flash LED modules in various application sectors which will correspondingly, aid the growth of the market during the forecast 2022-2033.
