07 舜宇光學科技（集團）有限公司 • 2021 年報 Chairman’s Statement 主席報告 BUSINESS REVIEW In 2021, the world economy experienced unstable and imbalanced recovery and the Sino-U.S. relations failed to improve obviously. Meanwhile, with the imbalanced development of the supply chain and the surging demand for semiconductors in new energy vehicle, VR and other fields, the shortage of chips has become a key bottleneck for the relevant technological and manufacturing industries to achieve sustainable development. Despite the severe external business environment, the Group tried its utmost to achieve its operational targets. On one hand, the Group committed to the development of its existing advantageous businesses, continuously improved the process and technology, advanced automated manufacturing processes and enhanced cost control capabilities, furthering strengthening its market competitiveness. On the other hand, the Group continued to boost R&D investment, consistently deepened the cultivation mechanism for new businesses and the innovation mechanism for new products, achieving continuous breakthroughs in the development of emerging businesses and creating new growth drivers for the mid- to long-term development of the Group. At the same time, the Group also made great efforts in strengthening the construction of corporate culture and talent systems to pursue sustainable development with high quality. During the year under review, affected by the reoccurrence of the global pandemic and the shortage of chips, the growth of the global smartphone industry and automobile industry further slowed down and the market landscape experienced profound changes. Thanks to the diligent efforts of all employees, the Group achieved solid development in major businesses during the year under review. The Group’s three main products, namely handset lens sets, handset camera modules and vehicle lens sets, gained the global No. 1 market shares and their market positions and comprehensive competitiveness were further consolidated and enhanced. Under the intelligent and electrified trend of the automobile industry, the Group’s vehicle modules, light detection and ranging (“ LiDAR ”) and other vehicle- related products achieved rapid development during the year under review and recorded outstanding performance in technological innovation, customer exploration and product delivery. In addition, the Group actively deepened business layout and product development in the Artificial Intelligence of Things (“ AIoT ”) and further deepened cooperation with domestic and overseas well-known customers in VR/AR, drone, smart home and other niche markets, laying a solid foundation for the mid- to long-term business development of the Group. 業務回顧 二零二一年，世界經濟復蘇呈現出不穩定及不 平衡的態勢，中美關係也並未明顯轉好。同 時，供應鏈的不均衡發展及新能源汽車、 VR 等 領域對半導體的需求驟增，芯片短缺成為各相 關科技製造業得以繼續發展的關鍵瓶頸。儘管 外部經營環境惡劣，但本集團為實現各項經營 目標作出了最大努力：一方面，本集團致力於 發展現有優勢業務，持續改善工藝技術、推動 自動化制程並提升成本管控能力，市場競爭力 得到進一步提升；另一方面，本集團繼續加大 研發投入，不斷深化新事業的培育機制及新產 品的創新機制，在新興業務的開拓中獲得持續 突破，為本集團中長期的發展創造新的增長動 力。同時，本集團亦努力加強企業文化與人才 體系建設，以謀求高質量的持續發展。 於回顧年內，受全球疫情反覆及芯片供應緊缺 的影響，全球智能手機及汽車行業的增長進一 步放緩，市場格局發生深刻變化。經過全體同 仁的辛勤付出，本集團的主要業務於回顧年內 均取得穩健發展。其中，本集團的三大主要產 品，即手機鏡頭、手機攝像模組及車載鏡頭均 佔領全球第一的市場份額，市場地位及綜合競 爭力得到進一步鞏固和提升；在汽車行業智能 化、電動化的浪潮之下，本集團的車載模組及 激光雷達（「 激光雷達 」）及其他車載相關產品於 回顧年內高速發展，在技術創新、客戶開拓及 產品交付等方面都獲得優秀表現；此外，本集 團積極深化人工智能物聯網（「 AIoT 」）領域的業 務佈局及產品開發，在 VR/AR 、無人機、智能 家居等細分市場均與國內外知名客戶展開進一 步深入合作，為本集團中長期的業務發展奠定 了堅實的基礎。
