MEMS: A growth point for microelectronics is erupting

According to the latest statistics from market research firm Yole Development, the world's Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) market reached US$10.2 billion in 2011, a 19% increase over 2010. This growth rate is much higher than 1.8% in the same year. World semiconductor's overall revenue growth and 4% of the world's Fabless sales growth.

Although MEMS development history has been for decades, in recent years, with the rapid development of smart phones, automotive electronics, medical electronics, Internet of Things and other industries, MEMS components such as gyroscopes, radio frequency (RF) MEMS components, MEMS microphones, etc. The demand for products will continue to rise, driving the MEMS industry into a stage of rapid development.

Mobile terminal MEMS demand dominates

In 2011, the total sales volume of the world's consumer and mobile MEMS market was US$2.2 billion, accounting for 21.6% of the total global MEMS market demand. The most widely used product is the MEMS gyroscope, with a market size of $655.4 million.

According to IHS iSuppli, the MEMS market in the world of consumer and mobile is the largest demand market, with the main applications being smartphones and tablets. In 2011, the total sales volume of the world's consumer and mobile MEMS market was US$2.2 billion, accounting for 21.6% of the total global MEMS market demand. The most widely used product is the MEMS gyroscope, with a market size of $655.4 million, a 66% increase from the $394.5 million in 2010, followed by MEMS accelerometers.

According to IHS iSuppli, the total revenue of the top ten suppliers in 2011 was $1,878.6 million, an increase of 34.2% from $1.4 billion in 2010. The number one ST company mainly benefited from Apple's orders, its MEMS revenue was $638.7 million, an increase of 80.8% from 2010's $353.3 million, and a world market share of 6.3%.

According to Juniper Research, MEMS products for mobile phones mainly include MEMS accelerators, MEMS magnetometers, MEMS gyroscopes, MEMS displays, RF MEMS, MEMS pressure sensors and MEMS microphones. These products are just beginning to be applied and will be used in the future. More MEMS products have been developed, such as MEMS joysticks, MEMS temperature and humidity sensors, MEMS silicon speakers and MEMS micro projectors, and the future market has broad growth prospects.

Juniper Research analyst Nitin Bhas said, "Mobile devices are moving toward multi-performance including location-based and navigation services, while MEMS sensors help differentiate mobile devices. Over time, smartphones and tablets Many additional features will be implemented."

Juniper expects the average annual growth rate of sensors, audio, display and RF MEMS devices for mobile consumer electronics devices to exceed 22% from 2011 to 2016, and the market size in 2016 will exceed $6 billion. In audio products, the high-quality audio input requires the integration of multiple MEMS microphones, which will further stimulate the demand for MEMS microphones. It is expected that the number of MEMS microphones used in mobile devices and high-quality audio products will exceed 20 in 2016. Billions. In addition, RF MEMS will also be widely used in most mobile products.

IHS iSuppli expects that the market size of gyroscopes will reach US$1.1 billion by 2015, and the market demand for MEMS accelerometers will reach US$705 million.
