Global Market for MEMS and NEMS Sensors Forecast to 2022
March 21, 2017 | Business WireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Market for MEMS and NEMS Sensors - Forecast to 2022" report to their offering.
MEMS sensors have proven high performance, when compared to similar sensors based on competing technologies. Using macro-level machining to manufacture pressure sensors has resulted in high-precision sensors that can be used in critical applications. Accelerometers based on MEMS technology are highly sensitive. They have fail-safe performance in extremely critical applications such as air bag activation and vehicle stability within the automotive end user.
Miniaturization of MEMS has disproved that the performance of a sensor is most often inversely related to its size. A key benefit of miniaturization is substantial improvement frequency response of sensors as their size decreases. However, in terms of limitations, some technologists have reported a decrease in the raw sensitivity of MEMS-based microphones, pressure sensors, gyroscopes, and accelerometers when miniaturized. At the same time, large investments are being made in research and development of new-generation MEMS sensor devices, ranging from less than a micron to several millimeters with proven high performance.
Increasing demand for MEMS-based sensors is an indication of fast-growing penetration of miniature or nano-sensors. There is a large number of diverse sensor types based on MEMS technology. Currently, there are 15 sensors based on MEMS that are used in diverse applications within various vertical end-user markets. They include both stand-alone and single parameter monitoring to combined sensors monitoring more than one parameter. Accelerometers and pressure sensors are the largest revenue generators for the MEMS sensors market.
