Driven by smartphones & microfluidic applications, emerging MEMS will account for 10% of the value of the total MEMS business by 2018.

Innovation in MEMS stays very active

Innovation in MEMS no longer comes solely from new devices, but also from the integration of mature MEMS technologies into new applications. Along with mature devices used for new applications (e.g. pressure for LBS), innovation in new MEMS devices is still active and will continue to strongly participate to the MEMS market growth in the next 5 years.

This report on emerging MEMS looks at the new MEMS technologies that, as a group, are expected to represent almost 10% of the value of the general MEMS market by 2018. The market will be mainly driven by medical applications - especially pharmaceutical research through DNA sequencing - and by consumer applications through innovations in mobile phones. Most of this growth is expected to take place after 2015, once products have been qualified and are suitable for volume manufacturing.
