As per the previous global micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) market survey reports the overall market reached a valuation of USD 10,413.6 million back in 2018. Technological advancements have risen significantly faster in recent years and this has widely influenced demand for multiple semiconductor components. It can be traced from the fact that shipments of MEMS rose at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2018 to 2022.
Lockdown mandates during the pandemic restricted industrial activity to a bare minimum and rendered the market sluggish as demand and supply chains were disrupted. With manufacturing activity at a halt, micro-electromechanical system shipments saw a drop in demand in 2020. Leading MEMS manufacturers endured massive losses as the pandemic resulted in the costly downtime of many manufacturing facilities. Research and development activities were also interrupted and adversely affected market potential during this period.
Sales of micro-electromechanical systems rose at a high CAGR in the post-pandemic era and the industry made a quick recovery. With efforts from regional companies to compensate for the losses the average CAGR for the period 2018 to 2022 improved to 8.5%. So, micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) demand is anticipated to rise at an impressive CAGR of 10.6% over the next ten years.
Rising Demand for Miniaturization of Devices to Boost MEMS Sales
Wearable technology has made huge strides in recent years and increasing adoption of these devices has increased demand for miniaturized components. Increasing use of IoT devices, rising smartphone proliferation, and advancements in semiconductor packaging are key factors that guide demand for MEMS.
Increasing demand for AI and automation solutions is expected to propel innovations in MEMS with integrated AI technologies. Companies are investing in the development of new micro-electromechanical systems that are more efficient and integrate new innovative technologies like AI and sensors.
For instance, in February 2022, STMicroelectronics, which is a global leader in the semiconductor industry, announced the launch of its new MEMS sensors. It claims that its new micro-electromechanical systems have integrated signal processing and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms.
