The SVM and rear-view monitoring cameras supplied this time are used in parking assistance systems that display the surroundings of the vehicle on video. Samsung Electro-Mechanics applied a special technique to the lens bonding area to block unnecessary light inflow, securing visibility and safety. In particular, the water-repellent performance maintenance time of this product is about 2,000 hours, approximately 1.5 times longer than previously released products, making it the industry’s highest level.



The market size for automotive camera modules is a high-growth sector expected to grow at an average annual rate of about 16%, from $4.3 billion in 2022 to $8.9 billion in 2027. Jang Deok-hyun, CEO of Samsung Electro-Mechanics, said, "Being selected as a first-tier supplier by Hyundai Motor Company and Kia this time has proven our product competitiveness in the automotive electronics market." He added, "Based on the know-how accumulated from IT cameras, including lens design technology and manufacturing internalization, the company will provide solutions that enhance customer value through building a cutting-edge automotive camera lineup and strengthening production capabilities."
