The rapid evolution of smart sensing technology is leading to a comprehensive penetration of biosensing applications in the fields of smart wearables, medical monitoring, and personal health management. Ennostar has announced that its full-band sensing chips, which include both transmission and reception capabilities, along with packaging and module solutions, have gained favor from multiple international brands for use in these areas. The company plans to further expand into automation robotics applications based on its sensing technology, thereby broadening its market presence.
In March, Ennostar reported consolidated revenue reaching NT$2.023 billion (US$0.06 billion), benefiting from an increase in working days and recovering demand, marking a month-over-month growth of 14.63% and a year-over-year increase of 0.31%, the highest record in the last six months. Cumulatively, the first quarter of 2025 revenue totaled NT$5.631 billion, reflecting a quarter-over-quarter increase of 1.07% and a year-over-year rise of 0.87%.
Market leadership in wearable sensing
Ennostar stated that heart rate and blood oxygen sensing now account for over 50% market share among mainstream smartwatch brands globally. The combination of high-brightness LED light sources and highly sensitive photodiode sensing technology can reduce module power consumption by more than 10% compared to traditional technologies, effectively enhancing device battery life and user experience.
Innovative health monitoring solutions
In collaboration with partners, Ennostar has developed non-invasive auxiliary monitoring solutions using short-wave infrared wavelengths, providing painless and real-time blood glucose monitoring. Additionally, moisture-sensing technology has been successfully integrated into the top three true wireless Bluetooth earphone brands, reducing accidental activation through precise skin detection.
Versatile temperature sensing applications
Thermopile temperature sensing technology offers measurement accuracy of up to ±0.2℃, making it suitable not only for wearable devices compliant with FDA standards but also for improving thermal management in notebooks and air conditioning adjustments in vehicles or homes. Furthermore, environmental light sensing technology applied in products like smart doorbells enhances detection performance under low-light conditions.
Expanding into automotive safety and robotics
With the EU implementing mandatory driver monitoring system regulations in 2024, Ennostar's low red glow IR LED and VCSEL solutions will enable real-time monitoring of driver fatigue while minimizing interference with the driver's line of sight, significantly enhancing road safety. Ennostar noted that this technology will lay the groundwork for its expansion into the automation robotics sector.
Ennostar stated that its highly sensitive optical sensing technology can enhance robots' visual recognition in complex environments, ensuring stability in delicate operations. This technology is applicable across various robotic scenarios including industrial, logistics warehousing, and smart services. The company will continue to deepen its optoelectronic integration technology, developing efficient and low-power solutions to drive innovative applications of smart sensing technology.
