Rebound driving automotive MEMS sensor market

摘要

The rapid recovery in automotive production and inventory rebuilding among sensor component suppliers is driving the market for automotive MEMS (microelectro-mechanical system) sensors to record size in 2010, according to iSuppli, now part of IHS.According to a report from the market-research company, shipments of automotive MEMS sensors will reach 662.3 million units in 2010, up 32.1% from 501.2 million units in 2009. The projected year-end levels-including the replenishment of inventory pipelines that were depleted during the recession of 2009-will exceed even the pre-crisis high point in 2007 of 640 million sensors, iSuppli data shows.
