Consumer Segment Drives Growth in Accelerometers
Semiconductor Product Markets - Worldwide
September 2008
Volume 6 Issue 9
Accelerometers constitute a technology that has now existed for several decades, and one that has traditionally been driven by advances in the automotive industry. The incorporation of airbags in vehicles, for example, was a principal market driver. This began in 1991, with Analog Devices’ MEMS ADXL50, which was the first commercially available accelerometer for widespread use in the automotive industry. In this case, accelerometers were being used to detect rapid vehicle deceleration and deploy an airbag whenever necessary. Another common use for accelerometers was in electronic stability control systems in vehicles, which utilized a lateral accelerometer to measure equilibrium in cornering and help adjust weight accordingly. Automobiles remain the largest market for accelerometers, with $1.1 billion in revenue for 2008.

databeans Estimate, June 2008
New Research Reports

2008 DRAM - October 2008
Due to significant price erosion from competitive pressures and 300mm manufacturing, the DRAM market is expected to contract by 7 percent in terms of revenue this year, while unit shipments are expected to increase by 20 percent.

2008 Interface - September 2008
The current global market for interface products is valued at an estimated $6.2 billion, and it has the potential to exceed $10 billion by 2013.

2008 Mobile Handset Semiconductors - September 2008
Perhaps no other electronic device in history has been adopted globally as quickly as the mobile cellular handset. With over $142 billion in sales and 1.3 billion units sold in 2008, the entire market is expecting to continue its extremely high growth.

2008 Semiconductors - September 2008
After a year of slow growth in 2007, the semiconductor market is expected to see stronger growth rates in coming years. Each major semiconductor product segment is expected to see increased revenues, with strong gains in memory products driving overall semiconductor sales long term.
2008 Audio Power Amplifiers - September 2008
The audio power amplifier market represents a portion of the nearly $3.5 billion consumer analog market. This sector is roughly 6 percent of the $58 billion annual consumer semiconductor market and is showing a compound annual growth rate of 11 percent.
2008 Wireless Semiconductors - August 2008
Among the major market segments, wireless semiconductors represent the greatest opportunity for revenue growth, as suppliers meet the needs of emerging products in mobile handset, infrastructure, short-range, and other related applications.
