Consumers continue to demand increased functionality and improved user experiences from their electronic devices. MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) enable a myriad of applications from gesture recognition to navigation, while improving the power efficiency and robustness of electronic devices. MEMS are used in increasing numbers, ranging from sensors to displays to audio components. Increasing MEMS attach rates along with growing volumes of electronic devices such as smartphones and media tablets are driving revenues for MEMS suppliers. This study covers sensors (accelerometers, gyroscopes, altimeters and magnetometers), displays (screens and pico-projectors) and audio components (microphones and speakers) in a defined range of electronics devices, namely smartphones, netbooks, media tablets, eReaders (e-books), games console controllers and handheld games machines. Each of these markets is analyzed by unit volumes, revenues and average selling prices with forecasts to 2016.
