Key Points
- FY2025 revenue reached RMB 43.23 billion, up 12.9% YoY; profit attributable to the owners of the Company was RMB 4.64 billion.

The Yuyao-based optics manufacturer reported RMB 43.23 billion in revenue for FY2025, a record high and an increase of 12.9% from the previous year. Profit attributable to the owners of the Company was RMB4.64 billion.
Broader industry headwinds continue to weigh on the industry. Earlier this year, industry research pointed out sluggish smartphone demand and sustained pricing pressure on components. Handset volumes have remained weak, and the Company still maintains significant exposure to that market.
In January, the company initiated a share buyback program. More importantly, the fastest-growing segments of the business are no longer phone-centric. Automotive optic and pan-IoT products are accounting for a larger portion of the revenue mix year by year. These segments typically offer higher margins and present significant barriers to entry for competitors. Over the past decade, Sunny Optical Technology has evolved far beyond simple camera lenses. "From a single lens to a complete visual perception system, forty years of work, perfectly timed," said Wenjie Wang, Executive Director of Sunny Optical Technology.
According to the company, that timing aligns with the current AI revolution. As AI moves from software into the physical world, the demand for high-end optics is surging. Self-driving cars require precision road vision, robots need spatial awareness, and spatial computing devices must map environments in real time. These developments support Sunny Optical Technology's role in physical AI infrastructure.
"Optics is where AI enters the physical world," added Wang. "Sunny Optical is already at that entry point."
