Smartphone with Periscope Lens Market to Reach CAGR 14,6% by 2031 Top 10 Company Globally

Smartphones equipped with periscope-style telephoto lenses have become a distinct premium feature set in the mobile handset industry, enabling high-multiplication optical zoom without making phones excessively thick. The periscope architecture folds optics inside the phone chassis and uses prisms and layered lens groups to achieve longer focal lengths; combined with advanced image-signal processors and computational photography, these modules have shifted premium buyer expectations for zoom and distant-subject imaging. Manufacturers design periscope modules both as a user-facing differentiator (photography, travel, sports) and as a capability for professional/creator workflows that increasingly rely on mobile hardware. The segment therefore sits at the intersection of optics suppliers, specialist module integrators, camera sensor makers, and smartphone OEM assembly lines; growth is driven by consumer demand for better zoom, OEM competition in flagship devices, and improvements in miniaturized optics and prism designs.

The smartphones with periscope lens market size in 2024 is USD 56,512 million and forecast to reach USD 142,805 with CAGR 14.6% by 2031. An average selling price of USD 1,031 per unit. The implied global units sold in 2024 are approximately 54,810,000 units with an average selling price of USD 1,031 per unit. Total cost of goods sold is approximately 89% of the retail price, the COGS per unit in this model equates to USD 917.59. The internal COGS breakdown is camera module, soc & chipset, display, battery and other. Factory gross profit per handset is USD 113.41, producing a factory gross margin of roughly 11% on the retail price. A typical high-mix smartphone assembly line is modeled here at 650,000 finished units per year per production line. Downstream demand is concentrated in consumer retail, online channels and enterprise.
Latest Trends and Technological Developments
Periscope and telephoto hardware continues to evolve along two parallel axes: hardware innovation (novel prism and folded optics, multi-lens periscope assemblies) and software/computational photography that extracts detail at long range. A notable hardware innovation is Huaweis switchable dual-telephoto approach, announced with the Pura 80 Ultra (reported June 2025), which allows two telephoto lenses to share a single sensor using a movable prism a design that both extends zoom range and reduces component cost/height. Another flagship development: Xiaomis 15 Ultra launched February 2025, which explicitly calls out a 200MP periscope telephoto module to address long-range low-light telephoto imaging. OEMs continue to push smaller periscope footprints (compact folded optics, prism advances) and new module architectures such as triple-prism and multi-focal periscopes, enabling combinations of 310× optical segments plus high-quality sensor crop/stacking for extended reach. These device launches and module innovations reinforce two commercial facts: (1) periscope capability is a strategic feature for flagship positioning; and (2) periscope module design is rapidly iterating to trade off cost, thickness, and zoom range.
Asia especially Greater China, South Korea, and Taiwan remains the technological and manufacturing nucleus for periscope-enabled smartphones, driven by local OEMs (Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo) that both develop module concepts and buy advanced components from regional suppliers (prism and precision optics firms, camera sensor manufacturers). China in particular functions as both a major demand center and an R&D/production hub for periscope modules: Chinese OEMs are integrating increasingly large sensors and higher-multiplication periscopes into mainstream flagships, not only niche ultra-expensive models. Component suppliers in East Asia benefit from economies of scale and cluster effects (optics, precision molding, stabilization motors, prism suppliers), which compress lead times and improve cost control for OEMs deploying periscopes at scale. Policy and trade dynamics occasionally influence component sourcing and international availability, but the regions deep supply chain keeps it at the center of near-term innovation and production.

Regional Insights
Within Southeast Asia, adoption follows broader smartphone upgrade cycles: premium buyers in Singapore and Thailand adopt flagships earlier, while Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines and Malaysia show rapid uptake of mid-to-upper-mid devices that increasingly include premium camera features. Indonesia is a major volume market for global OEMs regional strategies: localized pricing, financing, and channel partnerships mean that flagship devices with periscope modules are targeted at urban enthusiasts, creators, and enterprise buyers seeking improved remote-imaging capabilities (media, field inspection, certain enterprise uses). E-commerce channels and operator bundles are a key pathway for penetration in Indonesia; local demand is strongly seasonal around festival and year-end upgrade cycles. Market reports and region chapters in public research note that Southeast Asia is an important incremental growth region for periscope-capable handsets even if overall per-capita take rate lags East Asia.
The segment faces several challenges. First, periscope modules add cost and complexity: precision prisms, larger or stacked sensors, and specialized autofocus/OIS systems increase BOM (bill of materials) cost and can amplify supply-chain risk if a single optics supplier is constrained. Second, the physical tradeoff between slim device design and long focal length is non-trivial; makers that prioritize thinness must compromise zoom range or accept novel mechanical designs. Third, software-driven improvements lower the perceptual gap between optical and hybrid zoom, meaning future competitive advantage depends on integrated hardware + software stacks rather than optics alone. Finally, geopolitical supply constraints and export controls on certain advanced sensors or manufacturing equipment could intermittently affect component sourcing. These challenges create execution risk for OEMs that ramp periscope capabilities without securing module supply and integration expertise.
Manufacturers should prioritize modular partnerships with optics specialists to secure consistent supply and to co-engineer cost-sensitive periscope designs that target the mid-premium tiers (where most incremental volume lies). Suppliers who can reduce optical stack thickness or combine dual-focal periscope elements that share a sensor (cost savings via shared imaging hardware) will be in strong bargaining positions. For investors, key signals include: reported periscope module win rates at top OEMs, roadmap disclosures for sensor sizes and optical zoom grades, and contract manufacturing capacity additions focused on premium flagship lines. Monitoring these indicators gives an early read on whether the segments high average selling price sustainability (premium positioning) will convert into durable volume growth.
