Abstract
Description:
A - Market Challenges
Whether you are setting the strategy for a foundry, or selecting a foundry
partner for your product, now more than ever before, the choices made today
will determine your future survival. With competition increasing from a
variety of players, MEMS Foundries need to solidify their business model,
clarify their positioning and streamline their offering to insure long-term
success.
MEMS foundries are the new key players of the MEMS industry. Major open MEMS
foundries are now profitable and most are moving to upgrade to 8-inch
production lines. Growth of consumer applications and other high potential
market opportunities have attracted new entrants coming from mainstream
semiconductor, leveraging their high volume production lines combining CMOS
technology and MEMS. A heated competition will start between established MEMS
foundries and these new players experienced in volume production. The MEMS
Foundry market is still very fragmented. The largest markets for MEMS
foundries are inkjet printheads using mainly “exclusive” foundry
services, but open foundries are developing innovative platforms addressing
new applications like RF-MEMS or microphones and developing different
approaches of product platform from fixed process to Multi-project Wafer (MPW).
B - Market metrics
With over 50 companies identified worldwide, MEMS foundries are the new key
partners of the MEMS industry. While the foundry business experienced a
booming 22% growth to reach $480 million in 2008, MEMS foundries do not expect
more than single digit revenue increase for 2009 with low visibility on
bookings. MEMS market share captured by foundries is increasing for most
products because the structure of the MEMS industry is stabilizing with
emerging MEMS companies choosing “fabless” or
“fablite” business models and sharing the production risks of new
products with the MEMS foundries.
a/ “MEMS Foundries 2009” focuses on the segmentation of this part
of the MEMS value chain, highlighting MEMS foundry markets and trends.
b/ “MEMS Foundries 2009” is the only report highlighting how
