Market Dynamics:
Drivers: Rising demand for minituarization of devices.
The miniaturization enabled by MEMS technology opens up new possibilities for innovative applications in various fields. For example, in healthcare, miniaturized MEMS devices are used for medical diagnostics, drug delivery systems, and minimally invasive surgical tools. For instance, MEMS-based biosensors can detect biomarkers in bodily fluids for early disease diagnosis.. The automotive industry is embracing miniaturization to enhance vehicle performance, safety, and efficiency. MEMS sensors for airbag deployment, tire pressure monitoring, stability control, and navigation systems are becoming increasingly compact, enabling seamless integration into modern vehicles while optimizing space utilization and reducing weight. For instance, In January 2024, Melexis introduced the Triphibian microelectromechanical system pressure sensor tailored for automotive use. This miniaturized MEMS pressure sensor can manage measurements of gas and liquid media ranging from 2 to 70 bar.
Restraint: Lack of standardized fabrication processes for MEMS
Developing customized fabrication processes for MEMS devices incurs high development costs and time-intensive research and development efforts. Without standardized processes, manufacturers must invest significant resources in optimizing fabrication techniques for each individual device, leading to longer development cycles and higher overall costs. This can deter smaller companies and startups from entering the MEMS market, limiting competition and innovation. Without standardized procedures for quality control and testing, manufacturers may struggle to ensure consistent performance and durability across their products. This can undermine customer confidence and lead to reluctance in adopting MEMS technology, particularly in safety-critical applications such as automotive and medical devices.
Opportunities: Widening application scope of MEMS technology
MEMS technology is increasingly being leveraged in healthcare and biomedical applications to enable remote monitoring, diagnostics, and personalized medicine. MEMS sensors for vital signs monitoring, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation, are integrated into wearable health monitors, fitness trackers, and medical devices, enabling continuous health tracking and early detection of medical conditions. MEMS-based lab-on-a-chip devices facilitate rapid and portable diagnostic testing for infectious diseases, cancer biomarkers, and genetic disorders, revolutionizing healthcare delivery and improving patient outcomes. In January 2022, A.M. Fitzgerald & Associates (AMFitzgerald) and MEMS Infinity, a Sumitomo Precision Products company, have partnered to expedite the commercialization of thin-film PZT MEMS chip technologies for medical ultrasound imaging applications. As medical ultrasound continues to evolve and penetrate new healthcare sectors, the demand for MEMS-based ultrasound sensors is expected to rise, driving the overall growth of the MEMS market.
Challenge: Shortage of skilled designers
MEMS devices involve intricate design, precise fabrication processes, and rigorous testing procedures, necessitating a skilled workforce with expertise in microelectronics, mechanical engineering, materials science, and semiconductor manufacturing. However, the demand for skilled MEMS professionals often outstrips the supply, leading to challenges in recruitment and talent retention within the industry. MEMS design requires a deep understanding of electromechanical principles, sensor technology, and system integration. The shortage of skilled designers can lead to delays in product development and innovation.
