Global MEMS Technology Market in Healthcare Industry 2008-2012
With the increase in population, demand for healthcare products and services has also risen. Therefore, the healthcare industry is adopting new technologies such as Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) to counter the increasing complexities it has been facing and to en-cash the advantage of micromechanics. Medical devices based on MEMS technology could be very helpful for treating critical diseases and surgeries such as heart diseases, deficiencies in DNA sequencing, and linking gene deficiencies to disease. MEMS devices would be very helpful to counter threat from new diseases. Commercialization of ultra-compact diagnosis devices, with less stress to human body for diseases prevention and early stage diagnosis, is primarily driving the MEMS technology market in the healthcare industry. The aging world population, coupled with economic growth, urbanization, and change in lifestyles, is expected to increase the demand for modern MEMS based devices

Overview of the RF MEMS Switch Market Globally
MEMS Switch and Varicap Market Report ( http://www.bharatbook.com/Market-Research-Reports/MEMS-Switch-and-Varicap-Market.html ) gives Struggles in industrial market offset by increasing interest from the cell phone industry.
Get a global and in-depth view of the RF MEMS Switch Market: : MEMS switch and Varicap applications, Target price per application and dedicated end market, Focus on RF MEMS switches for cell phone applications, How and when will they be integrated in front end modules?
REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
MEMS switches and varicaps products are getting to commercialization today. These products either replace existing switching products or create new features. The industry is just emerging with early sales levels in 2006.
Successful sales of MEMS switches have been registered for ATE (Automated Test Equipment) and other defense and industrial applications since 2006. Despite a market growth in 2007 the two industrial market leaders, Teravicta and Simpler Network have nevertheless stopped their activity in December 2007. It will be a challenge for the industry to recover from this difficult start. But acquisitions in the field of the cell phone module industry (such as EPCOS acquisition of NXP MEMS varicap activity) raise commercialization expectations in the next 2 years.
This report highlights who is poised to be the next leading players and which applications will drive the MEMS switch and varicap sales in the 2007-2012 period.
Six players are currently commercializing or sampling products on the market (RadantMEMS, MEW, Advantest, XCOMwireless, MEMtronics, Wispry) and more than 20 additional products development projects have been listed in the report.
M&A activity will certainly increase in the next 5 years in order to push forward the commercialization of these technologies like EPCOS did this year.
The potential market for switches and varicaps is therefore large because MEMS based switches are expected to both: substitute existing products, enable new applications, particularly for mobile phones within the short term
The main market drivers for the cell phone applications are the following :
* Weight and size benefit for space and ATE (Automated Test Equipment) applications
* Increased RF switching performance at constant size and cost, for cell phone and radars applications
* Ability to create switching matrix being low cost and good RF performances in wired and wireless telecom applications
MEMS switch and varicaps will generate over US$ 700M sales by 2012. The market will be mainly driven by cell phones applications.
Price erosion be a major concern from MEMS manufacturers as volume ramps up. Market leaders will have a major advantage in this complex technology development period. This report not only describes the market at the player and application level, but it provide a global view of the RF MEMS switch market allowing to build diversification strategies taking into account technical requirements.
