Steady Growth for MEMS in 2013 and Beyond

穩定中漸飛揚的2013微機電產業

 

Abstract
           
MEMS market will double over the next 6 years, pushing manufacturers to consider consumer applications in their strategies

In 2012, the IC industry saw a 2% decline, but Yole Développement’s research reveals the MEMS sector managed another 10% growth to become an $11B business. Analysts expect a 12-13% CAGR through 2018 to create a $22.5B MEMS market, growing to 23.5 billion units. We have identified a number of changes as old MEMS products mature and new ones emerge. Cell phone demand drove strong growth for MEMS devices. Inertial sensor maker InvenSense continued to prove the worth of its fabless model with a ~30% increase in sales.

Triquint saw 27% growth as its BAW filters won more slots in smartphones. Yole Développement’s analysis shows markets for inkjet heads and DLPs have matured, but we see huge growth on the horizon for combination inertial sensors and for MEMS timing devices. Combination inertial sensors are starting to see high volume adoption in both consumer and automotive markets, and will quickly account for a significant part of inertial sensor sales.
