Hearing, Touching, Smelling, Seeing... What will be the next improvement MEMS will bring to our senses?
MEMS is a “transfer function” using semiconductor micro-machining based technologies to create devices replacing more complex, bulky or less sensitive devices.
•The 5 criteria that determine a MEMS success: size reduction, potential cost reduction, “good enough” specifications, simpler manufacturing compared to existing solutions (less mechanical parts for e.g.) & reliability.
•Among all the different MEMS devices in development that could have a significant growth in the future, we foresee gas sensors as the next success for the MEMS industry.
•In any case, at least 10 to 15 years of development are necessary to achieve all the successful criteria.
Gas sensors are likely to have a marketrampup.

WHY SOME DEVICES ARE SUCCESSFUL, SOME OTHERS NOT
The 5 criteria for MEMS success
Gas sensors are
likely to have a
market ramp up.
• MEMS is a “transfer function” using semiconductor micro-machining based technologies to create devices
replacing more complex, bulky or less sensitive devices.
• The 5 criteria that determine a MEMS success: size reduction, potential cost reduction,“good enough”
specifications, simpler manufacturing compared to existing solutions (less mechanical parts for e.g.) & reliability.

foresee gas sensors as the next success for the MEMS industry.

THE 6TH SENSE: NIGHTVISION
Market forecast in shipments (units) – Optimistic scenario: what will happen if smartphones integrate microbolometer.
• CAGR 2015–
2020 will be
about + 77%
in units: ≈ 15
x growth
between
2015 - 2020.
• Ultra low-resolution
sensors shipments are
boosted by sensor
integration into
smartphones in 2019 and
will represent more than
80% of total shipments in
2020.
• We assumed that only
ultra low end
microbolometers could
be integrated into
smartphones thanks to
high resolution (80x60)
and small size that is
mandatory for
smartphone integration.
• Huge price erosion
assumed due to high
volumes forecasted : - 33

microbolometers.

WEARABLES:A 285M UNIT PERYEAR MARKET BY 2020
Wrist-worn
devices will
represent
86% of the
wearable
market by
2020.
• We estimate that the
wearable sales hit 83M units
this year, with 88% of the
sales originating from wrist-
worn devices.
• These wrist-worn devices
will represent 86% of the
wearable market by 2020, a
volume of 244M units.
Other devices will add 40 M
units.
• We don’t expect high
volumes of smart clothing to
be sold until after 2017.

WEARABLES FOR CONSUMER MARKET,A SUCCESSFUL MARKET
Healthcare and industry also, but with a slower rhythm
Wearable
industry for
consumer could
reach $88B by
2020
• Consumer market is clearly
one of the winners of
wearable industry, with a
value ranging from $1B in
2012 to $80B by 2020.
CAGR2015-2020=32%
• Healthcare market is
expected to grow from
$0.98B in 2012 to $7B in
2020. CAGR2015-2020=24%
• Regarding the industrial
market, its value will expand
from $0.4B in 2015
to $3.61B by 2020.
CAGR2015-2020=58%
• Consumer market will
experienced in 2015 a huge
increase due to the new
entrant Apple, with the Apple
Watch.
