status of the mems industry 2013 report by yole developpement
DESCRIPTION
MEMS market will double over the next 6 years, pushing manufacturers to consider consumer applications in their strategies MEMS IS STILL ON A DYNAMIC GROWTH PATH, TARGETING US$22.5B IN 2018 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 identifi ed 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 fi lters won more slots in smartphones. Yole Développement’s report 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. Yole Développement’s report identifies new innovative MEMS devices that continue to emerge. We expect to see a number of them start production, though not reach signifi cant volumes for a few years. MEMS autofocus could come to market shortly. Big smartphone players are now looking at adding environmental sensors for heat and humidity, and MEMS devices could win those slots. GROWTH OF CONSUMER APPLICATIONS IS PUSHING NEW STRATEGIES FOR MEMS COMPANIES Consumer is still the leading MEMS application with increasing needs for sensory interface. Yole Développement’s report ranks the top MEMS suppliers. In 2012, for the first time, the top two MEMS suppliers on our annual Top 30 MEMS companies ranking are suppliers of inertial sensors, rather than of inkjet heads or micro-mirror actuators that have long dominated the sector. STMicroelectronics is the first company to grow a $1billion MEMS business, surpassing Texas Instruments. The second sensor supplier, Robert Bosch, has also pushed ahead of Texas Instruments and Hewlett Packard for the first time. The expanding demand for MEMS in both smartphones and automotive applications is creating a rising group of players, that can expect to see solid sales in their future.

2004-2012: 8 years of MEMS history!• Since 2004 (year of our first « Status of the MEMS Industry » report, we anticipate many MEMS events:
– In 2005, consumer (named “IT & Telecoms”) was already about 50% of the MEMS market in value. This has been a
continuous growth since.
– In 2004, already more than 70% of the MEMS market was generated by a few MEMS devices: IJheads, micro-mirrors,
pressure sensors, accelerometers and gyros for auto and medical applications. IJHeads, pressure and inertial still
accounts for a large fraction of the market toady.
– We anticipated new market opportunities, e.g.:
• The use of gyros in smartphones.
• We believed large opportunities was coming for microphones in mobiles.
– Microfluidics / biochips were already developed on glass / polymer substrates.
– We anticipated the difficult technical & market challenges for RF MEMS
– Fabless models was emerging
– The MEMS law (“One MEMS, one process”) was already here!
• What we missed:
– The unsuccessful market entry of some MEMS devices; e.g. micro fuel cells (expected in 2007), micro motors …
– The slower market growth for uncooled IR imagers
– The quick growth of STMicroelectronics in the MEMS business
– The coming of MEMS microphones players in the top 10 of the MEMS ranking
– The unsuccessful growth of the MEMS foundry business (only a few players manage to have a successful business)
– The restriction of the CMOS MEMS technology to a few devices only
– The coming of combos
– The maturity of MEMS processes
