MEMS Accelerometer and Gyroscope Market

MEMS Accelerometer is getting very popular especially in the automotive and consumer applications. Evolutions in MEMS accelerometer such as lower cost, lower power, and smaller size are opening the new opportunities in the market. Personal consumer devices such as media players and smart phones are the higher penetrated markets amongst all. For example, IBM and Apple have started using accelerometers in their laptops to guard hard drives from damage. InvenSense Inc., Bosch, and STMicroelectronics NV are key players for MEMS accelerometers.

Increasing use of MEMS gyroscope in the digital cameras is one of the key trends in the market. While growing market of smart phones is one of the key drivers for the gyroscope market. The major fell down in the prices is playing a vital role for the acceptance of the accelerometer and gyroscopes across the verticals with the highest penetration in consumer and automotive industry.
