The wireless MEMS sector is highly influenced by innovation, legislation and market needs.
According to an In-Stat/MDR report, the RF MEMS sector is expec-ted to grow from $2.5 million in 2001 to $200 million by 2006.
The market research firm reports that worldwide revenues for wireless MEMS (in the form of RF MEMS components and wireless MEMS sensors) will experience a 37.2% CAGR between 2001 and
2006, with the cell phone, automobile, and industrial proces-sing/condition monitoring markets benefiting most from what technology has to offer.
According to the market research firm, RF MEMS (switches/relays, filters, inductors, etc.) are expected to reach $200 million by 2006, down from other previous forecasts.
Sales of wireless MEMS sensors are forecast to reach about $700 million in 2006. But this segment is driven by government decisions and could be eliminated beyond 2006 or could provide for exceptional revenues.
