The delivery of annual airpods for 2022 is expected to reach 85 million sets, thus having an increase of 3.7% YoY, according to the Trendforce report.
With increasing demand, airpod suppliers will also reap the benefits, the report said.
The company in this list is expected to be a supplier of SWIR Epistar and Dowa LED chips; Supplier of Fotodiode Insaas Dowa and II-VI / Finis; and USI’s assembler module.
“Swir wavelengths range from 1.050-2,500 Nm, which include optical properties of compounds such as water, sugar, and alcohol.
While Swir Technologies gradually mature, and prices begin to reach a decent level, the manufacturer that can be worn is expected to officially integrate Swir technology into their products in 2H21 “, report said.
It also adds that PPG-based biosensing function (photoplethysmography based) will be displayed in the user to come.
This can expand the parameters of health measurements such as heartbeat and blood oxygen and allow devices to check the levels of hydration, blood glucose, alcohol blood and lipids as well.
The last part of the report is about the In-Ear Airpods 3 detection system based on the sensor that detects the skin.
Trendforce 2021 Trend of Infrared Sensing Market – 3D Sensing, Lidar, Swir LED Reports say that through PPG integration, airpods 3 “contains an increase in enhanced in-ear detection mechanisms based on skin detection sensors equipped with four Swir (infrared short wave) leading the chip Has two different wavelengths, and two infaas photodiodes.
