Taiwan of China dominates the world camera phone module assembly market.

The top 3 world camera module assembling companies - Primax, Premire and Chicony are all Taiwan-based, and they take 40% of the total world market share. With other Taiwan-based assembling manufacturers, Taiwan-based companies controlled over 60% of the world camera phone module-assembling sector. However, as a downstream sector and because of the relatively low technological contents, most enterprises just gain a poor profit thanks to large-scale producing et to components cost-cut.

CCD sensor module is dominated by manufacturers from Japan, while CMOS sensor by manufacturers from USA and South Korea.

Over 90% of the CCD module market share is occupied by Japanese manufacturers, and used mainly in digital cameras and Japanese domestic camera phones. Led by Sony, Panasonic and Sharp, modules over 2 mega pixels often adopt CCD sensor. CMOS sensor module is led by Omnivision, Agilent and Micron, followed by Samsung, Hyundai, Pixart, and IC Media, and is usually lower than 2 mega pixels.

American manufacturers dominate the back-end chip market.

Similar to mobile handset’s baseband chip, back-end chip, exclusively used for information process, is led by TI, Qualcom, Zoran, followed by Renesa, ZTE. And Lingyang, Songhan, Huabang, Zhaohong, Huajin are also active manufacturers, all those companies accounting for over a 65% market share in the world.

Plastic lens module is led by Taiwan manufacturers, while glass lens is monopolized by Japanese enterprises.

FPC production is divided between Japan, America, and East Asia.

Japan accounts for 35% of world FPC output, while America accounts for 32%, and Asia (excluding Japan) accounts for 19% (Taiwan 7%, and Thailand 6%). Japanese companies include Mektron, Smitoto, Fujikura, Nitto, etc. American companies include Parlox, Sheldahl, Adflex, etc. Although FPC single cost is low, its profitability is high.

Current available modules in the market are 0.3 mega pixels, 1.3 mega pixels and 2 mega pixels. The 1.3 mega pixels will still be the mainstream in the first half of 2005, 2.0 mega pixels will be mainstream later, in 2005-2006. Lens technology is the key point to increase the number of pixels, glass lens will become mainstream, and represents a great potential in the optical zooming sector.

This report looks into the global camera phone module sector, considers the competition and cooperation between upstream and downstream of the sector, analyzes enterprises' status and competition patterns, relations between camera module manufacturers and lens module, CCD sensor module, CMOS sensor module, back-end chip and FPC manufactures. It reveals problems and opportunities in the camera phone module sector; moreover, it analyzes global camera phone module technology, market status and trends, providing detailed information to the enterprises aiming to enter this industry.
