Global MEMS Market Trend Analysis: Inertial Sensor Growth Will Continue

With the strong growth in motion detection and microfluidics, it is estimated that the two areas will win half of the MEMS (micro electronic mechanical system) market. It is estimated that by 2017, the proportion of acceleration sensors, gyroscopes (angular velocity sensors), magnetic sensors, and composite sensors will account for 25% of the entire MEMS market, and microfluidic devices will account for 23%. The two areas will account for nearly half of the entire MEMS market.

Inertial sensor growth continues

The market for motion sensors should continue to grow over the next three years. By 2017, it is estimated that it will create a $5.2 billion business opportunity. However, as competition and prices fall, markets mature, and corporate mergers increase, the overall CAGR (composite annual growth rate) is estimated to be controlled at around 8%.

Accelerometers have been used in almost all smart phones, and are increasingly used in traditional mobile phones, and thus have become the growth leader. Coupled with the rapid growth of the mobile phone market, by 2017, sales are expected to increase by 1 billion. The proportion of smartphones will also increase, and sales are expected to double from 450 million units to 900 million units in the next three years.

In 2010, the adoption rate of gyroscopes in smart phones was only 9%, and by 2011 it had surged to 36%. The gyroscope is expected to enter all smart phones soon, and many smart phones may use two gyroscopes. This is because using the image's hand shake compensation function to improve the photo quality helps to make the products different.

Global MEMS Market Analysis Forecast: The Secret behind the Doubled Strength

The United States InvenSense company provides high-precision gyroscopes for shake compensation. ST, on the other hand, uses a single-package, dual-core architecture that integrates two high-precision sensors for hand shake compensation and gaming into one package. However, this approach will result in the complication of the ASIC structure, which is estimated to be expensive.

Asahi Kasei Electronics has a huge 78% share in the magnetic sensor market. In addition to relying on the company's Hall elements, it also thanks to the perfect combination of InvenSense modules and software.

STMicroelectronics, Germany’s Robert Bosch, and MEMSIC all stated that their own alternative technologies are more accurate, consume less power, and are easier to integrate.

With the mass production of composite devices using a single ASIC 6-axis accelerometer and magnetic sensors, the market for composite sensors was officially formed in 2011. Moreover, the composite device of the 6-axis acceleration sensor and the gyroscope has also begun to appear. At present, although individual components are still the primary products, it is estimated that the device companies will soon launch composite devices with six or even nine single-device functions. As a result, the composite product market is expected to grow from the current $100 million to the $1.7 billion in 2017.

Market demand for microfluidic devices will reach nearly $4.8 billion by 2017

The CAGR of the microfluidic device market is expected to reach 23%. By 2017, the demand for microfluidic devices may reach about $4.8 billion. This includes all materials except for the chemical industry. This figure is equivalent to about 20% of all MEMS demand and ranks second in this market. Large-scale investment in microfluidic devices is now advancing.

Producers in other large-scale industrial polymer markets have begun to apply existing mature manufacturing techniques to the microfluidics field. All major suppliers are gradually introducing excellent solutions for low-cost, fast response, effective screening and diagnostic testing. The most promising prospects are the continuous screening fields related to food and water quality. In addition, growth is expected in the fields of clinical examination, intensive care diagnosis, and pharmaceutical research.

Average annual growth rate is expected to reach 17% of optical MEMS

It is expected that the CAGR of optical MEMS devices will reach 16%, and the market size will reach 2.6 billion U.S. dollars in 2017. The projector market is the biggest driver of growth, and the emerging growth market, the market for pico projectors for mobile phones, is expected to follow.

MEMS is gradually becoming the dominant market for ROADM (reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer) and VOA (variable optical attenuator) switch markets. In terms of autofocus components, Norway's Polight and Tessera in the United States are already in production, and it is likely to become popular quickly in the future.

Large companies may also be involved in RF MEMS

The RF (radio frequency) MEMS switch and tuner market is also gaining momentum. Antenna tuners for 4G handsets and other tuning products, such as tunable RF MEMS from WiSpry in the United States, have great potential. But MEMS may only win part of the market. Canada RIM recently acquired Paratek, which means RIM regards Paratek as a strategic element for the next few years. Other large MEMS companies may also be involved in this market.

The silicon MEMS oscillator business has begun to grow, and the reliability of related technologies has steadily increased. It is expected that sales of SiTime in the US will continue to grow rapidly. Nine major companies, including NXP in the Netherlands, Silicon Laboratories in the United States, VTI in Finland, and Sand in the United States, also plan to enter the market in 2012.

Yole Developpement predicts that the CAGR of RF MEMS including such switching transistors, variable capacitors, silicon-based MEMS, and BAW (bulk acoustic wave filter) filters and duplexers will reach 16%, and the scale of the MEMS market will be In 2017 reached 1 billion US dollars.
