The current economic crisis is obviously impacting the MEMS industry. But,
despite the current challenges in the market, several market segments are well-positioned
for high growth in the coming years as the MEMS industry enters the mainstream
semiconductor market. Companies founded in early 2000 have entered the top 30
MEMS manufacturers along side the larger semiconductor players. If the first
focus was the miniaturization of printers and selected sensors, the MEMS industry
provides now a broad range of new products and applications in the defense,
automotive, industrial, communication and consumer markets.
The MEMS industry contains several high-growth opportunities for financial
and strategic investors. Our analysis shows that in the past 3 years, more than
35 strategic investments have been done through acquisitions. In the same period,
VC’s have invested more than $800M in the industry
The economic cycle will impact the financial transaction market. Opportunities
will arise rapidly for MEMS companies as investors seek to solidify positions
necessary for future growth. Execution of corporate strategy will require additional
capital.
So, now is the time for most of the MEMS companies to adapt their growth strategy
in leveraging their value with the help of Yole Développement’s
report
