A New Report on Sensors for Home Healthcare Applications
With the proportion of the world’s population aged 60 and over growing from about 16% to 25% from 2000 to 2050, increased growth of chronic diseases such as Alzheimer’s, diabetes, various types of cancer and more are expected. In the report “Sensors for Home Healthcare Applications: Market & Technology Analysis,” Yole Développement researchers note that […]
Consumer Electronics Applications Recharge MEMS Pressure Sensors
Pressure sensors, one of the pioneering microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technologies, sell in high volume but play second fiddle to newer three-dimensional MEMS sensing technologies such as accelerometers and gyroscopes. A new report from Yole Développement, MEMS Pressure Sensor, says that MEMS pressure sensors are experiencing renewed growth thanks to consumer electronics applications and are expected […]
MEMS Gyroscopes: Applications Increasing
Rising from obscurity in 2009, 3-axis microelectromechanical system (MEMS) gyroscopes (and gyro-based combo sensors) for consumer applications are expected to grow from a $458M market in 2011 to $1.57B by 2017, a cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.8%. According to Yole Developpement’s report “3-Axis Consumer Gyroscopes,” smartphones and tablets are the major contributors to […]
Report Predicts 20% Annual Growth for MEMS in Cell Phones & Tablets
A new report from Yole Développement predicts that the market for MEMS in cell phones and tablets will grow 19.8% to reach a $5.4B value in 2017. This follows the market tripling form 2009 to 2011. In 2011, MEMS market leaders in cell phones and tablets were: ST Microelectronics with sales of $477M for motion […]
