Recently, the quarterly reports of listed companies have entered a period of intensive disclosure, with the sensor industry being the first to bring good news. As of October 24, seven domestic sensor listed companies have released their Q3 2025 reports or performance forecasts, showing a strong growth trend overall. From revenue to profit, many companies have achieved double-digit growth, with some even experiencing a doubling of performance, showcasing the vibrant vitality of the domestic sensor industry.
Overall Positive Performance, Significant Growth for Many Companies
From the disclosed data, listed companies in the sensor industry have generally delivered impressive results.
In terms of revenue, Sifang Optoelectronics, Amperex Technology, and Xindong Lianke all reported revenue growth rates exceeding 30%, with Orbbec achieving a revenue doubling, with an increase of approximately 103.5%.
Profit performance is also noteworthy. Sifang Optoelectronics, Goodix Technology, Xindong Lianke, and Huagong Technology all reported net profit growth rates exceeding 40%. Particularly noteworthy is Orbbec, which successfully turned losses into profits, with a net profit of around 107.5 million yuan, an increase of approximately 168 million yuan year-on-year.
Diversified Driving Factors Contributing to Industry Growth
Behind this round of performance growth are multiple factors working together.
The strong demand in downstream application markets is the primary factor. The demand for sensors in fields such as smartphones, automotive electronics, and robotics continues to rise, bringing ample orders to companies.
Technological innovation has become the core driving force for company development. Companies are overcoming technical challenges through continuous R&D investment and launching more competitive products. Huagong Technology continues to innovate in the optical module field; Goodix Technology drives growth with new product releases; Xindong Lianke has gained widespread customer recognition due to its product performance advantages.
Improvements in operational efficiency have also played a significant role. Companies have enhanced profitability through lean management and cost control. Huagong Technology has seen both gross and net profit margins increase; Orbbec has significantly improved operational efficiency through comprehensive value chain cost control.
Additionally, the acceleration of domestic substitution processes has brought more market opportunities for local companies, driving continuous market share growth.
Representative Companies Show Strong Performance
As a leading company in the laser and optoelectronics field, Huagong Technology achieved a net profit of 1.321 billion yuan in the first three quarters, a year-on-year increase of 40.92%. The company has made significant progress in the high-speed optical module field, with innovative industry products such as the second-generation single-wave 400G optical engine being launched, and notable results in expanding overseas markets.
Goodix Technology’s net profit in the first three quarters increased by 50.99% year-on-year, with a staggering net profit growth of 87.95% in the third quarter alone. The company’s performance has seen substantial growth driven by the dual push of new product releases and improved gross margins.
Orbbec’s transformation is particularly noteworthy. The company has turned its previous losses into profits, with revenue increasing by approximately 103.5% year-on-year. Its accelerated layout in the robotics business, especially the release of new binocular 3D cameras and LiDAR products, has injected new momentum for growth.
Xindong Lianke continues to maintain a high level of profitability, with expected net profit growth between 56.43% and 91.19%. The company’s MEMS gyroscope business has maintained a gross margin of over 80% for a long time, demonstrating significant product competitive advantages.
Emerging Application Areas Expand Future Opportunities
Looking ahead, sensor companies are actively exploring new growth avenues.
Humanoid robots have become a focus for many companies. Amperex Technology has developed unidirectional force sensors and torque sensors, and has sent samples to several robotics customers; Donghua Testing’s six-dimensional force sensors have begun small-batch trial production and are collaborating with robotics manufacturers.
The automotive electronics field also holds vast potential. Sifang Optoelectronics has secured a project for automotive-grade PM2.5 sensors from a well-known international automotive manufacturer, with an estimated total project contract amount of approximately 59 million yuan; Amperex Technology’s automated production line for the intelligent driving brake system EMB force sensor is expected to be put into use in the fourth quarter.
Capacity expansion is also underway. Huagong Technology’s optoelectronic information industry innovation park phase one was put into production in August, with an annual capacity planning of 1 million optical modules per month; Sifang Optoelectronics plans to invest 600 million yuan to build a high-end sensor industry base, further enhancing market competitiveness.
Industry Outlook
Industry analysts point out that with the deep integration of technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, the sensor industry is entering a critical period of intelligent and digital transformation and upgrading. Domestic companies are expected to achieve more stable long-term development by strengthening core key technologies for high-end products and actively exploring emerging application scenarios such as humanoid robots and new energy vehicles.
Driven by both domestic substitution and emerging applications, the sensor industry is expected to continue its current positive growth trend, providing important support for the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry.
