EMERGING CONSUMER APPLICATIONS ARE BOOSTING THE MEMS PRESSURE-SENSOR MARKET

摘要

After years of limited growth, the MEMS pressure-sensor market has taken off again at a healthy 22% CAGR, this time due to their use in consumer electronics applications. Pressure sensors are playing an important role in modern-day industries as they are widely adopted in different applications because of their high performance, low cost and small size. The MEMS pressure sensor was one of the very first MEMS components to appear in various microsystems. Today this is a large market that is also rather mature. But, French-based market research firm Yole Developpement expects it to be buoyed anew by the consumer market, growing from $1.9bn in 2012 to $3bn in 2018.
