Asia-Pacific to Witness Fastest Growth
- Asian countries, particularly China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, made significant strides in developing and manufacturing MEMS technologies. These countries include advanced research and development facilities, fostering innovation and pushing the boundaries of MEMS harvesting device capabilities.
- Asia is a manufacturing hub for a large consumer electronics market, with a high demand for portable devices such as smartphones, wearables, and IoT devices. MEMS harvesting devices provide an attractive solution for powering these devices by harnessing ambient energy, reducing the dependence on traditional batteries.
- Also, MEMS sensors became one of the most important components in automobiles due to their ability to reduce emissions and fuel consumption, increase stability and safety, and improve the comfort and convenience of passengers. The cost-effective capability of MEMS sensors led to the development of several sensors for automotive applications. It includes accelerometers, gyroscopes, radiation and temperature sensors, and pressure and vibration sensors.
- These devices play a critical role in improving the safety of vehicles. This factor acts as the catalyst for the growth of the market. In September 2022, SiTime Corporation introduced a new automotive oscillator family based on its advanced MEMS technology. The new differential oscillators are 10x more resilient and ensure reliable operation of ADAS across extreme road conditions and temperatures.
- Moreover, governments across Asia implemented policies and initiatives to promote clean energy technologies and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. For instance, in January 2023, the first India-Japan environment week took place during the event. India set an ambitious target of achieving net zero by 2070. Japan initiated a goal of becoming net zero by 2050. These measures often include financial incentives, research grants, and collaborations with industry players, creating a conducive environment. These initiatives by the government for clean energy will increase the growth of the MEMS harvesting device market.
