【獨家點評】AirPods 全面改採 SiP 設計?牽動台廠供應鏈

去年底 Apple 高階款 AirPods Pro 產品由軟硬結合板改採SiP(System in Package)設計,為市場上增添了不少討論的話題,隨著新一代產品設計週期的開展,Apple AirPods 將是否全面改採 SiP 設計議題捲土重來成為焦點,此將牽動供應鏈的消長。
影響分析
蘋果自2016年底推出第一代 AirPods 後,於消費者所掀起的搶購熱潮使得產品熱銷程度高於預期,進而於接下來幾年帶動了各品牌競相推出TWS(True Wireless Stereo)產品,全球銷售量每年以平均超過50%的速度成長。經過幾年的競爭,Apple的 AirPods 仍立於不敗之地,2019年以七成的市占率幾乎主導了TWS市場。雖然2019年底推出的高階款 AirPods Pro 已導入 SiP,但由於出貨的主力 AirPods 仍採用軟硬結合板的設計方式,因此TWS的高成長性成為軟硬結合板主要成長動能來源之一。
台廠軟硬結合板於第一代 AirPods 即在供應商名單之內,近幾年業績來自此產品的貢獻不少,根據統計,臺灣軟硬結合板產值於2016-2019年的年複合成長率為26%,為各類型產品之冠,產值比重亦提高至2019的3.7%。若Apple真的大幅提高 SiP 設計的產品比重,除了牽動即有供應鏈的變化外,亦有可能產生連環效應使得其它品牌跟進,並進一步瓜分現有軟硬結合板的市場。Apple TWS 未來仍有高度的成長力道,在新一代產品上市前,依軟硬結合板所設計的第二代 AirPods 預期仍將是出貨的主流產品,但對於供應商來說,仍要提前準備以提防因產品設計改變對現有業績的衝擊。
