Sunny Optical Technology, the largest manufacturer of smartphone camera modules and lenses in mainland China, said its shipments of handset lens reached 89.12 million units in July, sliding 14.9% from a year earlier, but up 23.2% from the previous month.

The year-on-year drop was mainly due to weakness in the smartphone market, while the month-on-month growth was attributable to that some clients’ new projects started mass production, the company said.

The company’s shipments of mobile phone camera modules reached 36.8 million units, falling by 8.8% from the month before, and slumping 33.5% from a year earlier, it said.

Its shipments of vehicle cameras reached 6.44 million units in July, rising 25.7% from a year earlier, and up 3.9% from the previous month, it said.
