MEMS sensors have a bright future

MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) is an abbreviation of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems. MEMS mainly includes micro-mechanisms, micro-sensors, micro-actuators, and corresponding processing circuits. It is a high-tech frontier discipline that has developed on the basis of the integration of various micro-fabrication technologies and the application of the latest achievements in modern information technology.

As the international MEMS sensor market shifts from high-end products to consumer products, China's MEMS sensor market will accelerate its prosperity. In addition to MEMS sensors used in industrial transportation and other sectors, the emerging application market is automotive, communications, office equipment, mobile phones and so on. In 2011-2013, China's MEMS sensor market is expected to expand further, driven by the continued rapid growth in the production of 3C products, automotive electronics and medical electronics in China. In addition, emerging new products and new applications have also become an important guarantee for the continued development of this market. The MEMS sensor market will continue to maintain a double-digit growth level. Starting from 2012, with the retreat of the recovery factor caused by the financial crisis and the increase of the market base, the growth rate of China's MEMS sensor market will be adjusted back. By 2013, China's MEMS sensor market sales are expected to reach 21.42 billion yuan.

Although the basic scientific research and development of domestic MEMS sensors have achieved remarkable results, they have not yet formed large-volume production capabilities, have not formed independent industries, have insufficient technological maturity, have relatively few product types, and are scattered among manufacturers and international industries. There is a big gap between the changes. The level of processing and manufacturing of sensor companies has also made great progress, and the gap with foreign product performance is being reduced step by step. It is hoped that in the next few years, domestic sensor companies will seize opportunities, grow rapidly, and increase market competitiveness.
