MEMS & Sensors for Mobile Phones and Tablets The mobile phone and tablet market is growing, and price is decreasing. What’s the best plan for entering this market and building success? COMPETITION BETWEEN MEMS & SENSORS PLAYERS IS FIERCE. HOW CAN NEW COMPANIES ENTER THE FRAY AND BECOME SUCCESSFUL? STMicroelectronics remains the global leader for MEMS in cellphones and tablets, but Knowles, Bosch Sensortec and InvenSense all grew in 2013. In 2012, Knowles lost market share in the MEMS microphone business due to strong competition from Analog Devices, AAC Technologies and Goertek. Still, it managed to regain market share in 2013 by supplying two microphones in the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S. However, it is hard to predict what its market share in 2014 will be after recently losing its dispute against Goertek. The top four players own more than 50% market share in different MEMS & Sensors markets. Leading companies are trying to enlarge their MEMS products portfolio in order to supply a bundle of products to their customers. STMicroelectronics provides inertial sensors, microphones and pressure sensors. Bosch Sensortec is also focused on these products. And in 2013, InvenSense joined in by acquiring Analog Devices’ MEMS microphone business line, and signed a collaboration agreement with Sonion. InvenSense also released a 7-axis combo that integrates pressure sensors inside of a 6-axis IMU. In these competitive conditions, two questions are key: 1) What strategies will newcomers pursue? 2) What is happening amongst the MEMS players already involved in the mobile phone and tablet market? This report provides the answers. One thing is for certain: new technologies are undoubtedly needed. More information on that report at http://goo.gl/W39QQu

18. STMicroelectronics remains the global leader for
MEMS in cellphones and tablets, but Knowles,
Bosch Sensortec and InvenSense all grew in 2013.
In 2012, Knowles lost market share in the MEMS
microphone business due to strong competition
from Analog Devices, AAC Technologies and
Goertek. Still, it managed to regain market share
in 2013 by supplying two microphones in the
iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S. However, it is hard to
predict what its market share in 2014 will be after
recently losing its dispute against Goertek.
The top four players own more than 50% market
share in different MEMS & sensors markets.
Leading companies are trying to enlarge their
MEMS products portfolio in order to supply a bundle
of products to their customers. STMicroelectronics
provides inertial sensors, microphones and
pressure sensors. Bosch Sensortec is also focused
on these products. And in 2013, InvenSense joined
in by acquiring Analog Devices’ MEMS microphone
business line, and signed a collaboration
agreement with Sonion. InvenSense also released
a 7-axis combo that integrates pressure sensors
inside of a 6-axis IMU.
In these competitive conditions, two questions
are key: 1) What strategies will newcomers
pursue? 2) What is happening amongst the MEMS
players already involved in the mobile phone and
tablet market? This report provides the answers.
One thing is for certain: new technologies are
undoubtedly needed.
The MEMS & sensors for mobile phones and tablets
market is growing fast. In fact, the market will
expand from $2.85B in 2013 to ~$6.4B in 2019,
while shipments will increase from 5.8Bunits to
18.9Bunits!
Only a few devices are close to mature: BAW
filters and MEMS accelerometers. Many MEMS,
sensors and actuators represent the “milk cow”
part of the industry: gyroscopes, duplexers,
MEMS microphones, etc. Plus, we have identified
15+ other device categories that are just starting
to hit the market or are still in development.
Motion sensors are the market’s largest segment.
Stand-alone sensors will likely decline in the next
few years - especially discrete accelerometers.
Gyroscopes will find its new emerging function:
OIS. Combo sensors such as 6-axis IMU and
9-axis combo will drive the future market. Price
pressure is very high.
The microphone market is still growing, but
should be somewhat limited. Except for Apple,
no smartphone makers are integrating three
microphones. Thus, in several years this market
could be somewhat saturated.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE MOBILE PHONES AND TABLETS MARKET!
MEMS & Sensors for cellphones and tablets market
Sensor fusion application roadmap
(Yole Développement, May 2014)
(Yole Développement, May 2014)
Pressure sensors are now used in high volume, but
LBS service applications must still be developed.
Humidity sensors have been removed from the
Samsung Galaxy S5; consequently, we see this
market declining significantly in 2014. However,
it may take off again if a big smartphone maker
decides to reignite it.
BAW duplexers are very popular for LTE RF modules
(high frequency and difficult bands in particular).
Antenna tuners are now skyrocketing and MEMS
technology is positioned to participate in this
market. Also, silicon MEMS timing devices should
bring a high value proposition for diverse premium
timing components such as 32kHz in smartphones,
TCXO grade and MCUs.
Regarding optical MEMS, the use of uncooled thermal imagers in cell phones and tablets is still in an early
stage for market acceptance. FLIR and Opgal are the two thermal imager solutions providers that have
shown products, but other players are developing uncooled IR imagers for consumer applications as well.
After pressure and humidity sensors, there could be a market opportunity for IR detectors to provide the
spot thermometry function in mobile devices, since the detector measures the surface emissivity of a random
external object.
In this report, you will discover more details about every MEMS & sensors device used in mobile phones and
tablets.
Sensor hubs are now integrated in high volume: for
example, Apple uses a sensor hub in the iPhone 5S.
Sensor fusion valuation will increase in the next few
years; Fairchild’s acquisition of Xsens for $60M is the
first example of such increase. Moreover, it will not
be limited to basic function - data interpretation is
also possible.
Different elements are required for sensor fusion,
including MEMS, sensor hub, software, and low-power
RF communication for transmission in some systems.
Sensor fusion could occur at different levels: in
individual sensors, in sensor modules, in the sensor
hub or in the application process. Yole Développement
provides an in-depth analysis of these different
possibilities and their value partitioning.
Sensor fusion can enable numerous new applications
in mobile phones and tablets: indoor navigation,
augmented reality applications and context
awareness, which may enable an “always-on” sensor.
This report provides detailed examples of these
applications.
We observed very strong growth for non-MEMS sensors,
i.e. fingerprint sensors and CMOS image sensors.
The mobile phone market is by far the largest CIS
application. In 2013, it represented 66% of the entire
CMOS image sensor market in volume and 53% of
total revenue. The mobile phone market has been
strongly driven by the race towards higher resolution,
aiming at reaching a DSC-like image quality for high-
end smartphones. Omnivision, Samsung and Sony
will continue to dominate this market due to their
advanced technologies, large installed capacity and
cost-optimized manufacturing machine.
Light sensors are also growing considerably at the
moment. However, this market suffers from strong
price erosion due to the low number of OEMs and
a lack of innovative options. Combo sensors, long
distance and gesture recognition are the three main
ways to stabilize margins.

The objectives of the report are to provide:
• A global overview of market data for most sensors (MEMS and non-MEMS) used in cell phones and
tablets, including key market metrics and dynamics.
• An overview of major technology trends for each device type.
• A deep analysis of the challenges and opportunities for MEMS, sensors and actuators in handsets

OBJECTIVES OF THE REPORT
Fingerprint sensors are and will be widely
integrated into smartphones following their
adoption in Samsung and Apple’s most recent
offerings. Asian players have also announced new
products with fingerprint scanners: Vivo’s Xplay
3S was unveiled in December 2013 with a 6” 2K
display, a powerful audio amp and a fingerprint
reader; and Pantech’s latest smartphones, the
Vega Secret Up and the Vega Secret Note, both
incorporate a fingerprint sensor. In October 2013
HTC launched its HTC One Max, which boasts a
huge 5.9” display and a fingerprint scanner. Yole
Développement believes that fingerprint sensors
for the mobile phones and tablets market will see
huge growth over the next few years.
Moreover, other sensors are expected to be
integrated as well, including gas sensors and
biosensors. This is truly an exciting time to be
part of this industry!
