Market for New Types of MEMS Booms in 2011
|
El Segundo, Calif., April 11, 2011-After
only four years of existence, a segment of the microelectromechanical
system (MEMS) market known as new MEMS-specifically for consumer
electronics (CE) and mobile handsets-will grow by a remarkable 157.4
percent in 2011, powering the expansion of the overall MEMS industry,
according to new IHS iSuppli research.
Revenue this year for new CE and mobile MEMS
devices will reach $457.3 million, up by more than a factor of 2.5 from
$177.6 million in 2010. A category including devices such as 3-axis
gyroscopes and pico projectors, the new MEMS segment did not even exist
in 2006. However, growth has been nothing short of explosive after the
category was devised in 2007 to differentiate the segment from that of
older, established MEMS. By 2014, new MEMS will generate revenue of $1.4
billion, as shown in the attached figure below.
"New MEMS are at the heart of many of
today's most exciting and fastest-growing electronic products, from
motion controlled video games, to tablet navigation systems, to tiny
projectors embedded in smart phones," said Jйrйmie Bouchaud, director
and principal analyst MEMS and sensors for IHS. "This is driving fast
revenue growth both for the new MEMS themselves and for the overall MEMS
market."
Compared to the triple-digit growth rate of
new CE and mobile MEMS, the established MEMS segment is poised to expand
only 10.4 percent this year. With older products like accelerometers and
single- or dual-axis gyroscopes in its stable, established MEMS will
continue to produce bigger revenue overall, but growth as a whole in the
next three years will be confined to the range of 9 to 12 percent.
Meanwhile, expansion rates for new CE and
mobile MEMS will amount to a hefty 31 to 62 percent from 2012 to 2014.
The net effect of such rapid growth is to
increase the portion held by new MEMS of the total CE and mobile MEMS
revenue pie. As a result, new MEMS in 2014 will account for 39.5 percent
of overall revenue-a far cry from the 0.2 percent share in 2007 when the
segment earned just $2.4 million. Without the revenue contribution of
new MEMS, IHS believes, overall growth in the MEMS space will be
dependable but merely stable at best.
Among new MEMS devices, 3-axis gyroscopes
are most likely to take a star turn. Found in the likes of the iPhone 4
from Apple Inc. and the Move remote controller for the PlayStation 3
from Sony Corp., 3-axis gyroscopes feature prominently in applications
for smart phones and gaming, with motion recognition functions
benefiting greatly from the use of the new MEMS component.
3-axis gyroscopes also can be found in other
consumer electronic devices, such as tablets like Apple's iPad 2,
Samsung Electronics' Galaxy Tab as well as in every new tablet; the new
3DS handheld player from Nintendo Corp.; portable media players like
Apple's iPod Touch Fourth Generation (4G); and new smart phones from
Samsung such as the Nexus or from LG Electronics like the Optimus.
In addition to 3-axis gyroscopes, new MEMS
technology is used in tiny pico projectors that are so small they
already are embedded in phones or cameras. Another application of new
MEMS can be found in the tiny actuators used for the autofocus function
in cameras, packed in a small form factor but able to capture high
quality images.
