All those accelerometers, gyroscopes and compasses and in mobile and gaming applications add up quickly. In fact, in the new report “Motion Sensors for Consumer & Mobile Applications,” Yole Developpement researchers expect 2009’s sales of $847M to reach $2.56B in 2015 – a 20.3% annual growth rate. Yole projects that many applications will employ 3-axis […]

Sensing Functions to Increase in Smartphones
ABI Research says that by 2013, 85% of smartphones will ship with GPS, over 50% will ship with accelerometers and almost 50% will have gyroscopes. A sensor-driven user interface (UI) will be an increasing theme in the next wave of mobile UI innovation. This will turn objects, locations, and people into networked, interactive elements according […]
Yole Developpement Forecasts Growth for MEMS & Sensors in Smartphones
At mid-year 2010, it’s time for market research companies to reaffirm or reevaluate their positions and forecasts for 2010. Here is the first of three newly released reports that involve sensors. In the report “MEMS & Sensors for Smartphones,” Yole Developpement predicts double digit growth for MEMS & sensors for cell phones, expanding from $3.5B […]
