Key takeaways:

Optics is the focus of competition in mobile phone terminals, and Huawei's return is expected to promote the development of the industry. Since the popularization of mobile phones, optical photography capabilities have been the key point of innovation and upgrading for various terminal manufacturers, and thus developed an industrial chain around mobile phone optics, including lenses, motors, lenses, CIS chips, assembly and foundry and other production links. From the perspective of cost proportion in 2020, the cost of optical lens module accounts for about 15% of the overall BOM cost of mobile phones, of which the cost of CIS chip accounts for about 50% of the cost of optical lens module, and the industry volume is large. From the perspective of the industrial chain, the optical industry chain has a high degree of localization, of which optical lenses, optical lenses, assembly foundry and other links are mostly carried out in Chinese mainland and Taiwan, China; In the early days, CIS chips were dominated by overseas manufacturers such as Sony and Samsung, and in recent years, domestic manufacturers have a good momentum of development. The domestic high-end mobile phone market is mainly led by Huawei, and Huawei's return in the mobile phone field is expected to drive the development of the entire industrial chain.

Lens: Glass-plastic hybrid lenses and periscope lenses drive micro-innovation in the industry. In terms of lens materials, most of the current mobile phone lenses are made of plastic, which has the characteristics of lightweight, low cost and high mass production efficiency, and has high adaptability with mobile phones. Glass lenses have better light transmittance and deformation resistance, but the process difficulty and production cost are higher, and they are usually suitable for automotive, high-end surveillance, military and other fields. With the end of the big innovation cycle of mobile phones and the further pursuit of imaging effects by various manufacturers, the penetration rate of glass-plastic hybrid lenses is expected to further increase, driving the development of the glass lens industry. In terms of periscope lenses, early Android manufacturers have already equipped periscope lenses on some products, and Apple has equipped a four-reflection periscope lens for the first time on the iPhone 15ProMax, further certifying its industry trend.

CIS: The pixel structure continues to change, and domestic manufacturers have entered the Android flagship main camera for the first time. At present, the change in the average number of cameras equipped with mobile phones has stabilized, and the rear triple camera has become the most mainstream solution. There is still room for iteration in terms of CIS pixels, such as TechInsights**'s global CIS shipments of 48MP-100MP pixels are expected to increase from about 10% in 2020 to about 20% in 2023, mainly 48MP and 50MP large shipments. In terms of competition, OmniVision's 50MP product entered the main camera of Android high-end flagship mobile phone for the first time, reflecting the technical progress of domestic CIS manufacturers and the accurate grasp of market demand. In the future, domestic CIS manufacturers are expected to further improve their competitiveness in high-pixel products above 32MP, and domestic CIS manufacturers are expected to usher in new opportunities with the domestic substitution of Android phones such as Huawei.

Key takeaways:

Offshore wind power is moving to the deep sea, promoting the development of submarine cables to flexible DC technology. Foreign submarine cable manufacturers started earlier, and in the past, they occupied a major share of China's submarine cable market by virtue of their leading advantages. The research of submarine cables in China started late, but in recent years, through continuous technological innovation and experience accumulation, China's submarine cable manufacturers have independently designed and developed a number of core technologies of submarine cables with independent intellectual property rights, and the overall product performance has achieved breakthrough improvements. In the future, with the development of offshore wind power to the deep sea, high-voltage flexible DC submarine cable will have a broader market demand.

The economy of offshore wind power continues to improve, promoting the rapid development of offshore wind at home and abroad. At present, 138 countries and regions have set carbon neutrality targets, and will accelerate the transformation of energy structure in the future. According to Irena, the weighted average LCOE of global offshore wind power generation increased from 0$197 kWh down to 0US$081 kWh, the cost gap with fossil fuels has been greatly reduced, and the economics of offshore wind power generation will be further improved in the future. Many countries in Europe and the United States have raised their future planning scale targets for offshore wind power, and domestic coastal areas have also strengthened their support for offshore wind power "grid parity" projects, and some provinces and cities have introduced local subsidy policies to stimulate the demand for offshore wind development and construction. According to IRENA, the global installed capacity of offshore wind power is expected to increase from 63GW in 2022 to 494GW in 2030 compared to 2022, with an increase of about 684% and an average annual new capacity of about 54GW.

The high installed capacity of offshore wind power has driven the demand for submarine cables, and the terminal resources have strengthened the advantages of leading enterprises. Since September 2023, the construction of a number of offshore wind power projects in China has accelerated, and about 5GW of offshore wind power projects are expected to be connected to the grid in 2023. From 2022 to 2023, the total number of new domestic offshore wind power tenders will exceed 22GW, which is expected to support the high increase in offshore wind power installed capacity this year and drive the growth of submarine cable demand. In the future, with the gradual increase in the proportion of submarine cables sent out of offshore wind farms, the overall single GW value of submarine cables is expected to increase. Terminal resources are scarce, and leading enterprises have location advantages and terminal resources, and their transportation costs are lower and more efficient, and their competitive advantages are further highlighted.
