TrendForce: Huawei Sanctions Cause CIS Market Decline by Extra 0.2%

SemiconductorDigest: TrendForce publishes its forecast of impact of expanded US sanctions against Huawei on five major tech industries. Regarding the CIS market, analysts say:

"TrendForce previously forecasted a 1.3% YoY revenue decline in 2020 for the CIS (CMOS image sensor) industry due to the poor sales performances of the smartphone and automotive markets, which are the primary markets for CIS applications, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. After the latest restrictions on Huawei by the U.S. government on August 17, TrendForce is now further increasing the forecasted decline in CIS revenue to 1.5% in consideration of Sony’s inability to ship its high-end camera modules to Huawei."
