Automotive Mems Sensor Market Analysis

Automotive MEMS Sensor Market: Introduction

Automotive Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Sensors are computer systems that control and maintain the entire mechanical, electronic and electrical systems of the automobile. These systems are a combination at the nano-scale into NEMS (nanoelectromechanical systems) and nanotechnology.

The application of MEMS inertial sensors has unlocked various desirable features that are among the most common features in automobiles these days. Several applications have become well-known because they have become universal in automobiles. Certain applications that have the most advanced features are mainly found in high-end models, however, they are destined to become standard. Automotive MEMS sensors can be classified based on functions such as crash sensing for airbag control, vehicle dynamic control, rollover detection, antitheft systems, electronic parking brake systems, vehicle navigation systems and others. Automotive MEMS sensors mainly consist of a microprocessor/central unit that processes data and several microsensors that interact with the surroundings. Commonly used materials for automotive MEMS sensor systems/semiconductor device fabrication are silicon, polymers and metals such as gold, nickel, aluminium, copper, tungsten, chromium, titanium, platinum, etc.

Automotive MEMS Sensor Market: Dynamics

Increase in the demand for technologically advanced vehicles across the globe is one of the major factors driving the automotive MEMS sensor market.
