5TH CMOS IMAGE SENSOR REPORT

              • When Yole Développement presented its first report in 2010, the imaging industry was at a turning point as CMOS
                image sensor revenues were breaking the 50% threshold in respect to CCD.

              • Since last year, the industry has reached the $10B landmark and has become a key technology for major
                semiconductor companies such as Sony, Samsung,On Semi and now SK Hynix.

Imaging has
 become a     • Mobile remains the key application market for CIS, it is demanding in term of volume and performances therefore
   mature       ASP are kept at a good level for the top notch technology. The industry has reached $10.3B in 2015 and with 10.4%
  industry      CAGR forecasted for the 2015-2021 period, and will reach $18.8B in 2021.

              • Currently the most dynamic CIS markets are mobile and automotive. New features and performance are needed to
                serve those markets.

                                                                                      ©2016 | www.yole.fr | Status of the CMOS image sensor industry | Sample   12
