MOBILE PHONE CAMERA MODULE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global mobile phone camera module market size was anticipated to be worth USD 42.04 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 75.37 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.

A mobile phone camera module is a compact electronic device that combines optical, electronic and mechanical techniques to convert optical images into electrical video signals. It is commonly used in digital imaging devices such as mobile phones, smart phones, tablets and other portable devices.  CCM shines light through a lens system and uses an additional metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensor to convert the light into electrical signals. Those signals are then processed and converted into digital data, allowing users to record and view captured images or videos on a screen. CCMs are essential components of today's digital cameras and play a vital role in capturing high-quality images and videos.

Technological advancements in the components and architecture of such modules and explosive growth in the smartphone and tablet markets are expected to drive industry growth. In addition, the demand for such electronic devices is expected to grow in the automotive and medical industries.   Manufacturers offer image sensors based on two different detection technologies. CMOS image sensors are currently mostly used for the production of such devices and will replace the majority of CCD modules in the near future.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Growth Restrained by Pandemic due to Supply Chain Disruptions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many factories in major economies were closed due to supply disruptions chains, difficulties in the availability of components, delivery delays and labor shortages. These factors led to production delays and increased costs. In addition, travel restrictions and social distancing measures have reduced the need for cameras in industries such as tourism and hospitality. On the other hand, the pandemic has accelerated the shift of consumers to online shopping, which has increased the demand for high-quality cameras from online retailers and online providers. This shift to online platforms has led to market growth.

LATEST TRENDS

Technical Development Modules Resulted In Better Image Quality And Better Shooting Leading Market Expansion

A notable trend in the CMOS camera module market has been the development of image stabilization technology. Manufacturers have greatly improved both optical image stabilization (OIS) and electronic image stabilization (EIS) technology. These stabilization technologies are integrated into the CMOS camera module (CCM) to minimize blur and improve image quality, especially in challenging conditions such as low light or video shooting. OIS uses physical mechanisms to compensate for camera shake, while EIS uses software algorithms to digitally stabilize captured images. With these stabilization functions implemented in the CMOS camera module (CCM), users can expect sharper, clearer and more stable images and videos, improving the overall photo and video experience.  Sharing photos on social platforms has become a new trend where people share their activities on social networking sites. Social networking sites like Google Plus, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Instagram and WhatsApp are popular among users where they share pictures and share them on mobile phones. Therefore, consumers demand mobile cameras with good resolution and advanced features such as panorama mode, macro mode, effects, night vision mode, motion blur mode and sports mode. Moreover, this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rapid Expansion Of The Consumer Goods Market Will Boosts The Market Growth

The rapid expansion of the consumer goods market has fueled the mobile phone camera module market growth. The mobile phone camera market is expanding due to the growing demand for the devices. Cell phone cameras are gaining popularity not only as digital cameras, but also in the medical, security and automotive industries. The mobile phone modular camera market is growing significantly due to the demand for high-resolution images and ever-evolving cameras. In addition, as the number of digital images increases, the demand for portable camera devices increases. Smartphones and laptops can take pictures using the mobile camera application. The rapid growth of the mobile phone camera module market is mainly due to the increasing demand for high resolution and multiple functions. As the number of businesses and homes equipped with security cameras increases, there is a high probability that the market for mobile camera modules will expand.

Strong Growth In The Smartphone And Tablet Will Expand The Market

Strong growth in the smartphone and tablet markets is expected to propel the global mobile phone camera module market growth during the forecast period. Camera modules are mainly used in electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, web cameras and surveillance systems. However, the demand for smartphones and tablets is huge recently. Since the beginning of camera technology, camera modules have been developed from 1 mega pixels to about 13 megapixels. High-definition cameras installed in smartphones play a key role in smartphone sales. Nowadays, the camera is one of the most important features to sell smartphones and tablets. Consumers look for several features before buying a cell phone or tablet, and camera resolution is one of them.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Saturation Of The High-End Smartphone Market With Advanced Camera Modules Has Reduced The Demand For Incremental Improvements 

One factor holding the market back is the saturation of the high-end smartphone market. With flagships already offering advanced camera modules with high-resolution features and advanced features, it is possible that the need for incremental improvements in camera technology may diminish. Consumers may see limited benefit from paying a higher price for a more expensive CMOS camera module when the camera performance of their current devices is already adequate. Such saturation of the high-end market could lead to a slowdown in demand for high-end CCMs, which could affect the profitability and growth prospects of manufacturers targeting this segment.
