Market Dynamics

• An increase in sales of smartphones, widespread internet connectivity, rising demand for wearable technologies like smartwatches, and the growing market for IoT devices are the key factors responsible for boosting the growth of the global microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) market.

• Increasing adoption of wearable technologies like smartwatches is the primary factor boosting the global microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) market.
• For instance, Apple in September 2018 launched the ‘Apple Series 4 watch which is embedded with an electric heart sensor that helps in recording the ECG of a person by measuring atrial fibrillation (Afib), a form of irregular rhythm.
• Technological advancements in wearable technologies in integrating the number of sensors is another key contributing factor. According to a report by the United States National Library of Medicine, only 1.7% of wearable devices in 2016 comprised of more than five sensors and this figure increased to 11% in 2017.
• This growth rate can be ascribed to the advancements in compactness of sensors. Furthermore, according to the consumer technology association, the global sales revenue from wearable technologies in 2017 increased to USD billion compared to USD 15 billion in 2016 and USD 9 billion in 2015.
• The growth of the wearable technologies market is a significant factor fueling the growth of the global microelectromechanical systems market.
• However, high development costs of MEMS devices, government regulations, and reliability issues of MEMS devices are the crucial factors hampering the growth of the global microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) market.
• New Innovations can quickly gain prominence amongst the end-users before the government organizations can regulate them.
• For instance, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission imposed regulations on the Fitbit force which was responsible for causing skin irritation to the users. Fitbit Inc had to recall more than 1million units in the US and about 28000 units in Canada incurring considerable losses to the company.
• The government regulations imposed upon wearable devices comprising of MEMS devices is a primary factor impeding the growth of the global microelectromechanical systems market.
