MEMS Accelerometer and Gyroscope Market for The Consumer Electronics Application (English)

SUMMARY

Summary

This report reviews, analyzes and sizes the MEMS accelerometer and gyroscope market for the consumer electronics sector. Fuji-Keizai USA identifies key MEMS chip makers, foundries and application makers that are selling and marketing their products to the consumer electronics industry.

We examine how MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes are incorporated into various consumer electronic devices such as digital cameras, digital camcorders, cellular phones, video games, personal media players, notebook PCs, etc.

The readers are also given a better understanding of the drivers for demand and pricing of MEMS and other factors that effect MEMS growth and demand.

The study reviews and analyzes major companies' alliances, M&A activities during the last several years, while a table summarizes this activity, making it easier to view and compare this information at-a-glance.

Forecasts for the years 2007 to 2008 for MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes in consumer electronic devices is included. There are also comparative revenue figures for 2007 and 2010 for all the consumer electronic segments covered. In addition, readers can see a breakdown of market share for each of the consumer electronics segments for 2007 and 2010, giving a clear snapshot of what's happening now and in the future.

Fuji-Keizai USA also looks at how the MEMS market breaks out between accelerometers and gyroscopes. This includes detail breakdown by type of consumer electronic device as well as a clear explanation of how MEMS are penetrating each of the key consumer electronic device markets plus current and future MEMS applications.

We also look at future consumer electronic application trends that may be favorable towards the inclusion of more MEMS chips inside consumer electronics devices. Moreover, we compare and contrast accelerometers and gyroscopes and determine which type of chip has advantages for inclusion in specific consumer electronics devices.

The research methodology for the report includes information gathered from numerous sources, including interviews, conference notes and proceedings as well as secondary research.

The report is designed for marketing and business development personnel, top executives, investors, VCs, consultants, R&D managers, entrepreneurs and those in similar jobs.

In this report we profile twenty MEMS companies that provide the reader a snapshot of each company's focus and activities. The provided Internet links help readers access a company's Web sites for further review. We also include a ranking of companies by estimated sales of MEMS accelerometers or gyroscopes.
