Global MEMS Foundry Outsourcing Market Forecast to 2020 - Unit Shipments of MEMS Growing at a Fast Rate - Research and Markets


Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global MEMS Foundry Outsourcing Market Size, Share, Development, Growth and Demand Forecast to 2020" report to their offering.

The global MEMS market crossed $13 billion revenue, and accounted for the growth of about 10% from 2011 to 2014. However, the unit shipments of the MEMS are growing at much faster rate compared to the revenue, owing to the significant fall in average selling price (ASP) of MEMS during the past few years.

Although, the growth of 10% looks lucrative but the major players are battling hard to generate profits. STMicroelectronics (News - Alert) produce MEMS in very high volume. However, the company is struggling hard to control the decreased price of its own MEMS product.

The pure-play MEMS foundries witnessed considerable growth over the past few years; however the major part of MEMSfoundry outsourcing market is still captured by IDMs. The continuous decline in MEMS ASPs has also forced many IDMs to enter in the market of MEMS foundry outsourcing.



Recently, Bosch started renting its 8 fab to the fabless MEMS manufacturers. The IDMs have competitive advantage over the fabless and fablight MEMS players, as they have high proprietary learning curve in MEMS design. Moreover, IDMs also benefit from the economy of scale particularly from the ASIC MEMS.
