The MEMS market experienced strong growth in 2010, with operating revenue increased by 18.3% year-on-year. However, according to the latest research from IHS iSuppli, this is just the beginning of a new round of double-digit growth cycles in the MEMS and sensor markets. The growth trend will continue until 2014.
In 2011, MEMS will increase by 10%, which is much higher than the growth rate of the semiconductor industry. The continuous growth of the MEMS market is due to the fact that the cyclical nature of the market is not as strong as that of other sectors and is therefore less affected by economic fluctuations. Although the 18.3% growth rate of MEMS in 2010 is in comparison with the expected growth rate of 32.5% in the overall semiconductor industry, the compound growth rate of the MEMS market in 2009-2014 is 12.6%, which is higher than the 9.7% of the overall semiconductor market.
Overall, the economic downturn in 2009 had less impact on the MEMS market than on the semiconductor market. Therefore, the 2010 "rebound effect" of the MEMS market is not as strong as the latter. In the MEMS field, the relative importance of industrial applications, aviation military and medical applications is relatively high, accounting for 20%. In contrast, these areas account for 9% of the overall semiconductor industry. These areas are less sensitive to the business cycle. In addition, safety standards or emission regulations for passenger vehicles have a significant impact on the overall MEMS market and are also less subject to cyclical fluctuations.
Major growth drivers In 2011, the main growth drivers for the MEMS industry will be the consumer electronics and mobile phone markets, which will grow by 25% year-on-year. In the consumer electronics and mobile phone markets, MEMS revenue in 2011 will grow from $1.6 billion in 2010 to $2.1 billion. IHS iSuppli Corporation predicts that by 2014, MEMS revenue from consumer electronics and mobile phones will reach US$3.7 billion, as shown in the figure below.

The number of mobile phones using MEMS gyroscopes is limited in 2010, but it will show explosive growth in 2011. In 2010, there were less than five mobile phones containing MEMS gyroscopes. More than 45 mobile phones and tablets will be equipped with gyroscopes this year, and most will be based on the Android operating system.
Tablet PCs will play a very important role in the future MEMS and sensor markets. In fact, in the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Motorola, Acer, and other manufacturers are showing tablet PCs equipped with MEMS accelerometers, gyroscopes, BAW filters, and even pressure sensors. By 2014, tablets will become the second largest MEMS application in the consumer and mobile space.
Soft Landing in the Automotive Sector Following the 32% increase in shipments in 2010, the automotive MEMS market will see a soft landing this year, with the growth rate slowing to 7.3%. Due to the price drop, operating income will only increase by 3%. Even during periods of strong demand, there is price erosion.
The main reason for the growth of the automotive MEMS market this year is the favorable inventory situation. Despite the excessive growth in buyer orders in 2010, the inventory status of the automotive MEMS market will return to normal before mid-2011. This will lead to a soft landing this year and will not turn negative.
The automotive market is not as active as the consumer electronics market, but after a dismal performance in 2009, car sales rebounded strongly in 2010.
The automotive MEMS supply chain has dried up and needs to be replenished, leading to long lead times. As a result, shipments increased by more than 30% in 2010. This is worrying that in 2011, the automotive MEMS market may decline for the second time.
The main driving force for the growth of the automotive MEMS industry is the strong sales in emerging regions such as China, despite the low electronic content of automobiles in these regions and the strong demand in developed regions such as the United States, Japan, and Europe, especially under the influence of safety regulations. .
Therefore, the growth in 2011 will be more moderate due to the following reasons: The auto market sales in mature markets have basically recovered, the supply is recovering, and the current safety regulations for tire pressure and vehicle dynamics control. However, after 2011, IHS iSuppli Corporation predicts that safety sensors will be actively adopted from 2012 and that these required safety technologies will be fully equipped by 2014.
China loves MEMS
In the BRIC countries consisting of Brazil, Russia, India and China, the demand for MEMS has grown strongly and is becoming the focus of many Chinese markets. In the automotive sector, the operating revenue of MEMS sensors in vehicles sold in the Chinese market will increase dramatically from 2009 to 2014. Digital light processing (DLP) is another growth example, and China and India are using more front projectors for education.
The stimulating measures taken by the Chinese government to promote the development of fiber-to-the-home (FTH) have finally driven the global demand for optical MEMS for optical fiber communications. Therefore, the annual compound growth rate for this area in 2009-2014 will reach 17%. After China announced plans to build a smart grid, the deployment of MEMS-based flow sensors and accelerometer smart meters began to accelerate. In 2011, the sales volume of smart meters will greatly increase, which will benefit MEMS.
The widespread use of MEMS in the 21st century is increasingly affected by the MEMS market. For example, MEMS sensors are being used in the energy sector to help find and develop new energy sources: seismometers for oil and gas exploration, inertial sensors for measurement while drilling, and full-scale industrial processes, efficient residential heating, and accurate billing systems Use current energy sources.
MEMS is also helping to solve other social problems such as aging and obesity, and it can also provide less invasive monitoring methods for the elderly to achieve a cost-effective, continuous diagnosis for better and more comfortable dosing.
MEMS has entered our lives. From technology to medicine to health everywhere, this trend will surely increase in 2011.
