MEMS Foundry Outsourcing Market Trends Size, Share, Growth and Demand Forecast to 2020: P&S Market ResearchSemiconductor Manufacturers Equipment & SuppliesUpdated on Oct 28, 2015 View more like this | Visit USK, WA | Contact P&S Market Research |
The independent MEMS foundries have witnessed a lucrative growth over the past few years, which are mainly fuelled by the foundry outsourcing services from some of the leading fabless MEMS players such as InvenSense, Hewlett Packard (HP), Knowles, Lexmark, MEMSIC, Akustika, Sensodynamics, Si Time, and XCOM wireless. The MEMS foundry industry is expected to grow significantly, with MEMS IDMs joining the independent foundries in order to use the foundry outsourcing services. This is done, in order to distribute the overall production cost, while keeping their principal competitive technology in house.

The Integrated device manufacturers (IDM) have in-house MEMS foundries, along with other important processes such as design, development, test, and packaging solutions. On the other hand, fabless manufacturers do not necessarily have any in-house MEMS foundries, the fabless MEMS manufactures generally outsource the MEMS wayfaring solution from independent foundries. The pure play foundries offer entire manufacturing solutions, including packaging and device testing, whereas partial capacitive foundries generally do not provide test and packaging solution. Therefore application testing can also be outsourced separately, or it can also be achieved in-house. The fabless MEMS manufacturers have the advantage of selecting foundry, based on the design and feature requirement of the MEMS. It also offers cost benefits in most of the cases, as the manufacturers save heavy maintenance cost of in-house foundries. Besides, the IDMs have several design related advantages, such as captive fab and years of characterized process data for the design analysis.
STMicroelectronics was the largest MEMS foundry in 2014, which was then followed by Sony Corporation. Asia-Pacific is emerging as a popular destination for the foundry outsourcing, owing to the cheap labor and high manufacturing efficiencies in Taiwan and China. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is the largest independent MEMS foundry in the Asia-Pacific region and third largest of the world. In the last few years, the company has grown substantially by providing outsourced solution to leading MEMS players, such as InvenSense Inc. and others. The top ten fabless MEMS manufacturers include, InvenSense, Hewlett Packard (HP), Knowles, Lexmark, MEMSIC, Akustika, Sensodynamics, Si Time, and XCOM wireless.
Based on the type, the global MEMS foundry outsourcing market can be segmented as pure-play foundry, partially capacitive foundry, and others. Based on product, the global MEMS foundry outsourcing market can be segmented as pressure sensor, flow sensor, temperature sensor, RF MEMS, microphones, inertial sensors, and others. On the basis of end users, the market can be segmented as consumer electronics, automotive, and others.
The advantages of the fabless MEMS manufacturing, such as re-assignment of internal capacity, flexibility in capacity management, cyclical demand, cost and capacity benefits are driving the MEMS foundry outsourcing market. However, factors such as reluctance of IDMs towards the independent foundries for the high end products, high initial setup cost, and high maintenance cost of the MEMS foundry is limiting its growth, to some extent.
Europe accounted for the largest market of MEMS foundry outsourcing in 2014. The European MEMS outsourcing market was led by the STMicroelectronics NV. The company is global leader in the MEMS foundry outsourcing market, with market size of more than thrice to its nearest competitor. Asia Pacific was the second largest and the fastest growing market of MEMS foundry outsourcing in 2014. Country wise, Taiwan, China, France, Italy, and the U.S. are the major market for MEMS foundry outsourcing.
