Abstract
Following on the heels of the success of DLP (Digital Light Processing) in the
digital TV market, MEMS is positioned to expand to a broad array of consumer
applications, ranging from other home consumer devices like game consoles to
portable consumer electronics devices, such as digital camcorders to GPS
devices.
This report examines the growing opportunity for MEMS devices in consumer
electronics to replace existing components like crystal oscillators and add
new features. The report also looks at the companies demonstrating interest in
the technology and anticipated adoption timelines by technology and
application.
The report provides:
- WW unit shipments for more than 11 different consumer applications
- Potential MEMS applications for various devices within each of the seven
application categories, including audio, video, games, image capture,
appliances, personal care products, and sports and toys
- Sample companies showing interest in using various MEMS technologies
- WW unit, revenue, and ASP forecast for MEMS in consumer electronics
Key findings from the report:
- The CAGR of unit shipments will be 49.7% from 2006 through 2010, reaching
a level of 143.2 million units
- Revenue growth will be limited to an 11.0% CAGR because of lower priced
MEMS components making up a larger portion of unit shipments
- Pressure sensors have the greatest potential in consumer electronics in
the short-term, followed by microphones and displays
