In September of 2017, Apple showcased its commemorative iPhone X model with 3D facial recognition during its first autumn conference. This not only set off a 3D sensor technology whirlwind in the marketplace but also contributed to the rise in the supply chains market values. It is estimated that Apple's three new models will adopt a 3D sensor in 2018, and the concerns over supply shortages will likely to continue.
With some considerations, the Android mobile phone camp has held a relatively conservative attitude toward the adoption of 3D sensors. This report provides an in-depth analysis on the development opportunities and challenges of 3D sensors in mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets.

Methodology
Primary research with a holistic, cross-domain approach
The exhaustive primary research methods are central to the value that the analyst delivers. A combination of questionnaires and on-site visits to the major manufacturers provides a first view of the latest data and trends. Information is subsequently validated by interviews with the manufacturers' suppliers and customers, covering a holistic industry value chain. This process is backed up by a cross-domain team-based approach, creating an interlaced network across numerous interrelated components and system-level devices to ensure statistical integrity and provide in-depth insight.
Complementing primary research is a running database and secondary research of industry and market information. Dedicated research into the macro-environmental trends shaping the ICT industry also allows the analyst to forecast future development trends and generate foresight perspectives. With more than 20 years of experience and endeavors in research, the methods and methodologies include:
Method
- Component supplier interviews
- System supplier interviews
- User interviews
- Channel interviews
- IPO interviews
- Focus groups
- Consumer surveys
- Production databases
