Lyon, France. 12 July 2022 – Yole Intelligence’s imaging team has released its annual report, 3D Imaging and Sensing. This report provides a comprehensive and up-to-date description and analysis of the ecosystem. It highlights the market dynamics and technological evolution. Furthermore, it provides insights into the constraints and challenges of the 3D imaging and sensing industry.

Richard Liu, technology & market analyst, Imaging and Display at Yole Intelligence, part of Yole Group, asserts: “As expected, in 2021, the Android smartphone camp saw no progress in mobile 3D sensing.

However, the smartphone manufacturer, Apple, continues to adopt 3D camera solutions in both front and rear applications, even updating face ID, by simplifying and shrinking its optical structure. That’s Apple’s strategy to push 3D sensing on its phones, further appealing to consumers.”

• One is the competitors to 3D cameras for specific apps such as front-facing 3D sensing applications like under-display fingerprint sending, which are cost-effective and work well.
• The other is a shortage of applications. If a 3D camera is placed on the rear of the phone, there should be at least one killer application for daily use. But there are only a few AR games or other infrequently used applications. This latter challenge is what Yole intelligence thinks is the real reason behind the Android camp’s strategy. Yet, with the continuous increase in the share of Apple’s mobile phones, the penetration rate of 3D sensing in mobile phones is also increasing.

How will Android phones compete when consumers become more aware of and embrace 3D sensing?…
