自動車・医療・産業・航空・防衛産業における高性能MEMS市場

Abstract

1 - MEMS MARKET

For high performance MEMS

The high performance 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).

2 - 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 for medical & industrial (small volume, fragmented applications...).

3 - MARKET TRENDS

For high performance inertial MEMS, a new market dynamics

The high performance inertial MEMS field nowadays follows three main market dynamics:

• 1. 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.
• 2. Consolidation: the acquisition of Motorola Automotive by Continental last year is highlighting the interest of Tier 1 suppliers in sensor manufacturing
• 3. Diversification strategies: for instance, the slow down of the inertial components demand for automotive that has happened in North America, demonstrates the importance to succeed in industrial and consumer markets (example of VTI)
