Six major applications are discussed in this report, which will account for most of the market for MEMS microphones over the next five years. These are mobile phones, laptops and tablets, camcorders and digicams, hearing aids, head phones and automotive hands-free calling.

Non-volatile memory (NVM) chips, which retain data when the power is off, are expected to see phenomenal growth in the next five years. Seven emerging non-volatile memory technologies such as FERAM, phase change random access memory (PC-RAM), magneto-resistive RAM, resistance switching RAM, zero capacitor (ZRAM), quantum dot RAM and polymer printed memory are contributing to this growth.

According to a recently published report from iRAP, Inc., the global market for piezoelectric-operated actuators and motors was estimated to be $6.6 billion in 2009 and is estimated to reach $12.3 billion by 2014, showing an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 13.2% per year.

Quartz crystals are currently used for most high performance systems, but they are not economical when used with system integrated circuits (ICs) due to costly hermetic packaging requirements.

It covers issues concerning the merits and future prospects of the MEMS microphone business, including corporate strategies, information technologies, and the means for providing these highly advanced products and service offerings.

The study will benefit existing manufacturers of handheld electronic consumer products who seek to expand revenues and market opportunities by growing into the new technology of thin-film batteries.

Audiences for this study include marketing executives, business unit managers and other decision-makers in the micro fuel cell industry as well as in companies peripheral to this business.

The global market for piezoelectric operated actuators and motors now equals US$5.27 billion and is expected to reach $10.66 billion by 2011.

Ultracapacitors market growth will continue during 2006 to 2011. The $272 million (in US$) worldwide ultracapacitor business in 2006 will continue to grow at an AAGR of 15.3% through 2011.
