3. STUDY BACKGROUND Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are one of the fastest-growing technology areas, with sales of $11.7 billion in 2014, which are expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5% from 2015 through 2020. MEMS have proven to be key enabling technologies for developments in transportation, telecommunications and healthcare, but the range of MEMS applications covers nearly every sector. The most significant advantage of MEMS is their ability to communicate easily with semiconductor chips. Other advantages include MEMS’ compact size, reduced power consumption, lower cost and increased reliability. The growth in the use of MEMS has also led to the creation of supporting industries in areas such as MEMS design software, design services, specialty fabrication equipment and fabrication facilities.

4. This Research last surveyed the MEMS industry in 2010. Since then, the range of MEMS products and applications has grown rapidly. Some MEMS types (e.g., airbag accelerometers) have had great commercial success, whereas others have failed to live up to their proponents’ expectations. MEMS comprise an established industry, but it is important to avoid hyping its prospects, as this can divert investment from MEMS with real commercial potential. Hype can result in exaggerated investor expectations that are subsequently disappointed, which can lead to a drying up of investment funds, as happened in the dot.com sector after 2000. This report takes a hard look at the MEMS market and provides a road map to the technologies and applications that are most likely to be successfully commercialized in the next five years.

5. STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The goal of this report is to provide investors and others with information regarding the commercial potential of various MEMS technologies and applications to complement the growing body of technical information. Specific objectives include identifying segments of the MEMS market with the greatest commercial potential in the near to mid-term (2014 to 2020), projecting future demand in these segments and evaluating the challenges that must be overcome for each segment to realize its potential to estimate the probability of successful commercialization. INTENDED AUDIENCE The report is intended especially for entrepreneurs, investors, venture capitalists and other readers with a need to know the direction in which the MEMS market is headed over the next five years.

6. Other readers who should find the report particularly valuable include MEMS marketing executives and government officials associated with the National Nanotechnology Initiative and other state-level programs to promote the development of the nanotechnology industry. The report’s findings and conclusions should also be of interest to the broader nanotechnology community. SCOPE AND FORMAT The report addresses the global market for MEMS applications. MEMS, which are devices that integrate mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate, typically have dimensions in the 1-micron to 100-micron range (1 micron = 1 millionth of a meter). These devices are sometimes also referred to as microsystems, especially in Europe.

7. The term MEMS is also used interchangeably with terms such as nanotools and nanodevices, but the scope of this report does not include either of these technologies. The key distinction is one of scale: MEMS are measured in millimeters (one-thousandth of a meter) or microns (one-millionth of a meter), whereas nanotools and nanodevices have dimensions or perform tasks on a nanoscale (i.e., less than 100 nanometer, or one 10-millionth of a meter). Nanotechnology is only addressed in this report to the extent that it is a key enabling technology for some MEMS types. The study format includes: -Executive summary. -Definitions. -Milestones in MEMS development.

8. METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES Projecting the market for emerging technologies such as many MEMS applications, whose commercial potential has not yet been proven, is a challenging task. This report uses a multiphase approach to identify the MEMS applications with the greatest commercial potential and to quantify the market for these applications. In the first phase of the analysis, the report has identified a long list of potential MEMS applications, including those that are still under development, and mapped them against potential end-user industries, such as information technology and electronics, biotechnology and healthcare.

9. In the second phase, MEMS applications that appear to have little likelihood of making it into commercial production in the next five years were eliminated through a literature review and statements by industry sources. The result of this phase was the development of a short list of applications and end-user industries with the greatest near to mid-term commercial potential. The third phase focused on quantifying the potential broader market for each short-listed MEMS application and identifying the main prerequisites for commercial success. Various methodologies and data sources were used to develop the projections, including trend line projections, input-output analysis and estimates of future demand from industry sources.
