Research and Markets: Top 30 MEMS Manufacturers Worldwide Analysed in Latest Report.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c19464 ) has announced the addition of "MIS 05": 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 This is an up to date version of the report "Status of the MEMS industry" describing the current structure of the MEMS industry, the business models, its possible evolutions... The report contents unique features: - Detailed analysis of MEMS markets - Analysis of the last M&A and what could happen in the next 18 months - Up to date analysis of the top 30 MEMS manufacturers worldwide - Identification and analysis of emerging applications, including consumer, mobile phones, energy... - Overview and analysis of the evolution of the foundries and contract manufacturers business This report provides a complete analysis of the MEMS applications and markets as well as an in-depth analysis of the new applications under development. For each of applications under analysis, a synthesis in 2 pages is providing the details on who is doing what, market volumes, business trends and market shares (if available). See figure 1 presenting the airbag sensor market. Another topic of analysis is the evolution of the market organisation. Numerous mergers and acquisitions have happened in 2004 and numerous ones are on the way in 2005. This report is analysing the major M&A and the consequences for the industry organisations, competitive situation and business trends. A lot of changes are currently appearing: as contract manufacturers are more credible, system manufacturers are looking to externalise v. 1. to make external. Verb 1. externalise - regard as objective externalize, project psychological science, psychology - the science of mental life their fab; fabless companies Fabless Company The Fabless Semiconductor Association (FSA) defines fabless as follows: Fabless (without fab) refers to the business methodology of outsourcing the manufacturing of silicon wafers, which hundreds of semiconductor companies have adopted. are also finding companies able to produce at the right cost and quality. The business models of fabless are now well structured. 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 ... The ranking of the Top 30 MEMS manufacturers worldwide is presented on Figure 3. This analysis shows the large activities in the automotive fields and IT business but also the emergence of the contract manufacturers. The report is also comparing the 2003 and 2004 situation of the top 30 MEMS manufacturers worldwide and providing extensive explanation on what has happened and the reasons of the foreseen fore·see tr.v. fore·saw , fore·seen , fore·see·ing, fore·sees To see or know beforehand: foresaw the rapid increase in unemployment. evolutions. In addition, this report is also analysing in details the strategy of the different manufacturers in order to highlight what could be the different scenarios for the future. This prospective work is a key issue to understand the future of the MEMS industry. The report ends with the presentation of the detailed updated profiles of the top 30 MEMS manufacturers worldwide, presenting the manufacturing facilities, major contacts per company and key data on each company. Benefits of the report for suppliers of the MEMS industry: - Analysis of the structure of the MEMS industry and evolution of the industrial food chain - Complete description of 30 manufacturing facilities - Description of the processes and linked equipment and material markets Benefits of the report for the manufacturers of MEMS devices: - Analysis of the applications and detailed analysis of the new business - Analysis of the competition - Detailed analysis of the different business models - Complete description of the Top 30 MEMS manufacturers worldwide Companies Mentioned Akustica, Analog Devices Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI) is an American multinational producer of semiconductor devices.
