Detailed Analysis of the Different Companies Involved In MEMS Business Inside The Report 'MIS'06 - Status Of The MEMS Industry'.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c39988) has announced the addition of MIS'06 - Status of the MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s. Industry to their offering. 2006 update of the analysis of world MEMS markets and the situation of the MEMS industry. Available now is the 2006 up to date version of the report "Status of the MEMS industry" describing the evolution of the MEMS industry, the business models, its possible evolutions... The latest forecasts were indicating that MEMS markets will grow from $5.1B to $9.7B, representing an annual growth rate close to 15%. Due to the strong growth of the consumer applications, especially in the mobile phone industry, the growth rate is lower than the previous years in term of revenue; the unit growth will be much higher, close to 20%. Due to these changes from industrial to consumer applications, companies are changing their strategy. More and more semiconductor companies are involved in MEMS manufacturing (all the TOP 50 semiconductor companies are involved in MEMS manufacturing or development), new strategies are emerging with product introduction targeting module approach instead of sensor delivery in order to provide more added value Added value in financial analysis of shares is to be distinguished from value added. Used as a measure of shareholder value, calculated using the formula:
For the first time, the author is analysing the 20 most innovative companies and start-up involved in MEMS design and manufacturing, providing trends for the future growth of MEMS markets and analysing business links. Quartz oscillators could be replaced in a large part by MEMS based oscillator oscillator Mechanical or electronic device that produces a back-and-forth periodic motion. A pendulum is a simple mechanical oscillator that swings with a constant amplitude, requiring the addition of energy at each swing only to compensate for the energy lost because of air (industrialisation Noun 1. industrialisation - the development of industry on an extensive scale industrial enterprise, industrialization manufacture, industry - the organized action of making of goods and services for sale; "American industry is making increased use of at SiTime, Silicon Clocks, Discera and VTI Technologies VTI Technologies is a company in Finland that was founded as a spin-off from the company Vaisala Oy, a market leader in meteorology. VTI was founded to industrialize and further develop Vaisala's MEMS technology in automotive applications. ). Microphone business is completely reorganised by the introduction of Silicon Microphone (Knowles Acoustics, SonionMEMS, Akustica, Memstech ...). Inertial sensing is jumping in the consumer applications with strong impact on piezo-ceramic based devices (Bosch, Invensense, Panasonic ...). Camera modules will host MEMS based auto focus, micro zoom and image stabilization Image stabilization (IS) is a family of techniques to increase the stability of an image. It is used in image-stabilized binoculars, photography, videography, and astronomical telescopes. (Siimple, Varioptic, Rhevision, Samsung Techwin ...) Presenting the evolution of the TOP 30 MEMS manufacturers is also an indicator of the changes of the MEMS industry: several companies have seen a strong growth of unit sales unit sales Sales measured in terms of physical units rather than dollars. Unit sales data are often used by financial analysts when evaluating the health of a company. in 2005 with a stagnation Stagnation A period of little or no growth in the economy. Economic growth of less than 2-3% is considered stagnation. Sometimes used to describe low trading volume or inactive trading in securities. Notes: A good example of stagnation was the U.S. economy in the 1970s. or decrease of the revenue (Analog Devices Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI) is an American multinational producer of semiconductor devices. Analog specializes in ADC, DAC, MEMS, and DSP chips for consumer and industrial goods. Analog is presently designing circuits in the 65 nanometer to 3 µm process feature sizes range. & Texas Instruments See TI. (company) Texas Instruments - (TI) A US electronics company. A TI engineer, Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit in 1958. Three TI employees left the company in 1982 to start Compaq. among others). The MEMS industry in 2005 and beginning of 2006 has seen several important changes. And a lot is still happening but trends are complex: --Continuous growth of the markets with booming applications (Si microphone, TPMS (Transaction Processing Monitor System) A TP monitor from Fujitsu Services, formerly ICL, that is used in conjunction with its IDMSX database system. TPMS supports up to 16,000 online users. See IDMSX. , 2D and 3D accelerometer accelerometer Instrument that measures acceleration. Because it is difficult to measure acceleration directly, the device measures the force exerted by restraints placed on a reference mass to hold its position fixed in an accelerating body. ...) with more than 100% growth compared to 2004 and other applications which have stabilized before a new growth (the DLP (Digital Light Processing) A data projection technology from TI that produces clear, readable images on screens in lit rooms. DLP is used in all types of projection devices, from data projectors that weigh only a few pounds to large rear-projection TVs to electronic business has decreased by 8%, mainly due to price reduction) --New players in China and India are entering volume manufacturing --Strong M&A activities with creation of new important players (acquisition by Schneider Electric of BEI Bei (pā, bā), river, c.200 mi (320 km) long, formed by the union of two headstreams in the Nanling Mts., N Guangdong prov., S China. It flows S into the Xi River, E of Guangzhou, to form the Pearl River delta. Technologies, acquisition by Honeywell of First Technology, series of acquisition for Measurement Specialities, acquisition of Motorola Automotive by Conti Conti (kôNtē`), cadet branch of the French royal house of Bourbon. Although the title of prince of Conti was created in the 16th cent. ...) --Strong development of the contract manufacturers and foundries business with more than 35% growth in average --Changes in the policy of several key players (introduction of the new permanent ink jet head by HP for example) The report contents unique features: --Detailed analysis of each of the MEMS markets --Detailed analysis of the emerging applications, market drivers and of the 20 most promising start-up in the MEMS fields --Analysis of the equipment and materials markets for MEMS manufacturing --Analysis of the latest M&A and what could happen in the next 18 months --Overview and analysis of the foundries and contract manufacturers business and trends This report provides a complete analysis of MEMS applications and markets as well as an in-depth analysis of the new applications under development (analysis of each application of the trends in units, revenues, market shares, business trends and who is doing what in the TOP 5 companies per applications). A detailed analysis of the equipment (front end and back-end) and materials is proposed. This report is also analysing the major M&A and changes in the industry organisation, competitive situation and business trends. A focus is done on Indian and Chinese MEMS activities, highlighting the new manufacturing facilities and design centres established in these countries. The report is giving a detailed analysis of the different companies involved in MEMS business: IC manufacturers, fabless companies, foundries, contract manufacturers, system companies with integrated fab ...In addition, this report is also analysing in details the different scenarios for the future evolution of the MEMS industry.
