World Inertial MEMS Sensor Markets
Yole Development, Sep 2007, Pages: 255
MEMS MARKET
High performance MEMS
The high performance inertial MEMS market is expected to achieve a 5% annual growth rate on the 2006-2011 period. Today, it already represents over $1B value market.
High performance inertial MEMS applications are fragmented and thus offer numerous business opportunities for a large set of players. For example product development programs are very dynamic.
Expanding market for consumer MEMS
MEMS gyroscopes and accelerometers market increased by 55% from 2005 to 2006 and overtook USD 200 M last year. An average 35% CAGR for the 2006-2011 period is expected. The market dynamic mainly comes from accelerometers: it will represent 65% of the total inertial sales by 2011. Consumer applications will progressively take a 40% share of the total inertial MEMS activity by 2011 (including automotive, medical, industrial, aeronautic and defence sectors).
THE STAKES
For high performance MEMS
Accelerometers and gyroscopes are established components of the automotive, aeronautic and defence area. High volume of automotive applications is contrasting with defence and aeronautic fields where fewer units are sold but with a higher added value. It is similar for high performance MEMS in medical & industrial fields (small volume, fragmented applications…).
For consumer electronic
MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes are emerging at a very fast pace in consumer electronics products. Since 1998, MEMS gyroscopes were widely integrated into camcorders to provide optical stabilization features. In 2003, MEMS accelerometers entered consumer applications, in large volume, as a protection feature for Hard Disk Drives.
In 2006, Nintendo Wii’s motion sensing remote control gave for the first time, public visibility to inertial MEMS. The new attractive Human Machine Interface from game controls such as the Wii, is even expected to penetrate the cell phone market.
Inertial MEMS are already spread over a wide range of consumer products, with limited volume. The MEMS industry is very excited and confident. Every one’s attention is focused on what will be the next killer application
MARKET TRENDS
New market dynamics for high performance inertial MEMS markets
The high performance inertial MEMS field nowadays follows three main market trends:
- Entry of new players: Siemens VDO and Infineon have announced their plan to enter the components market for the Electronic Stability Control application. Recent achievements of new 10°/h grade MEMS gyroscopes open new possibilities of development for the aeronautic and defence field. European companies could become key challengers of the UAV or guided munitions markets for example.
- Consolidation: the acquisition of Motorola Automotive by Continental last year is highlighting the interest of Tier 1 suppliers in sensor manufacturing
- Diversification strategies: for instance, the slow down of the inertial components demand for automotive North America, demonstrates the importance to succeed in industrial and consumer markets (example of VTI new products)
Consolidation to take place in MEMS for consumer applications
The strong development of MEMS based consumer electronics applications since 2004 is leading the way for an industry consolidation starting in 2007. Some players seem to have already stopped their 3 axis accelerometer product line.
In the mean time, design wins have mainly been realized by the TOP6 consumer accelerometers manufacturers. Nintendo Wii design win has been attributed to ADI and STM, while Sony has not publicly disclose their motion sensor suppliers.
