Quiet Revolution: MEMS Thrives on Diversity in Industry, Medical, Energy and Optical Telecom
Revenue will grow 17 percent annually from 2009 to 2014
Jérémie Bouchaud
Capitalizing on a gamut of hot-button issues ranging from global warming to aging populations, the market for high-value Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) is set for very rapid growth in a large number of highly diverse segments, according to market research fi rm iSuppli Corp.
Revenue for high-value MEMS is projected to reach $1.6 billion in 2010, up 29.7 percent from $1.2 billion in 2009. Such revenue levels translate into equivalent MEMS shipments of 103.3 million units this year, compared to last year’s 86.8 million units.
