Market Avenue China's MEMS Market Report, 2009
Description
The all-new use experience and unique human-machine interaction brought by the MEMS acceleration transducer have
created the great success of Apple iPhone mobile phones, Nintendo Wii game console and other products, and also
injected some fresh air into the increasingly homogenous electronic entire machinery market. This has also led to the fast
growth in China’s overall MEMS market in 2004-2007. However, after the almost wild growth, the global financial crisis
resulted into the decrease in the production and shipment of the electronic entire units in 2008, accompanied by an
inevitable downslide in the MEMS market. In 2008, China’s MEMS market presented the following characteristics:
China’s MEMS market was quickly activated amid the combination of the MEMS accelerometers and 3C products. The
market saw a compound annual growth rate of over 100% in 2005-2007. However, in 2008, the sudden global financial
crisis led to the downslide by varying degrees in the output of the electronic entire units in a host of dimensions in China,
which has in turn brought down the demand for the MEMS accelerometers.
As a result of the maturing technology and the expanding application areas, MEMS products have been extensively used
in such computer products as inkjet print heads, projectors and notebook computers; such communication devices as
mobile phones; and such consumer electronics as MP3/MP4 players and game consoles. China has turned out to be a
powerhouse for the growth of the MEMS products like inkjet print heads, DMD microlen arrays, accelerometers and silicon
microphones, with its 20%-strong in the global projector output, the 40%-plus share in the global inkjet printer and print
head output, the 50%-odd share in the global mobile phone output, the 60%-odd share in the global game console output,
the 70% share in the MP3/MP4 player output and the 80% share in the notebook PC output. The 3C sector took more
than 40% of the overall application of the MEMS products in China. In addition, it is also worth mentioning that China’s
automotive electronics sector took a rising share in the MEMS market amid its rapid growth. The share already exceeded
30% in 2008.
With the rising R&D and mass production technologies, new MEMS products will keep emerging in future. New MEMS
flat-panel display products, MEMS oscillators, MEMS RF switches, MEMS storage devices and MEMS batteries among
many other products will be quickly commercialized to replace traditional products in diverse territories. In addition,
various new applications rich in creative and commercial values ?C for example, the application of gyros in stabilizing
digital camera images, further promotion of accelerometers and manometers in various medical electronic devices, and
the combination of the MEMS display device and the miniature projectors - will act as the guarantee for the continuous
prosperity of the MEM market. The emerging new products and applications will make the future MEMS market more
energetic and diverse.
From the perspective of the global market, MEMS modules and systems generate a far higher sales figure than MEMS
devices, and face smaller pressure of price markdown. In future, more and more manufacturers will upgrade from pure
