The rising demand for electric vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the automotive micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor market going forward. Electric vehicles are automobiles powered by one or more electric motors that use electrical energy stored in rechargeable batteries. The increasing sales of electric vehicles are driven by growing consumer preference for environmentally friendly transportation, advancements in battery technology that enable longer driving ranges, and government incentives that encourage EV adoption. MEMS sensors play a critical role in electric vehicles by delivering essential data that improves vehicle performance, safety, comfort, and energy efficiency. For instance, in January 2025, according to Cox Automotive, a US-based system software company, electric vehicle sales in 2023 were revised upward to 1,212,758 units, representing a 49% increase compared to 2022, and continued to rise in 2024, growing by 7.3% to reach 1,301,411 units. Therefore, the rising demand for electric vehicles is driving the growth of the automotive micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor market.
Major companies operating in the automotive micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor market are focusing on developing advanced MEMS accelerometers to enhance vehicle safety systems, improve ride comfort, and support advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). MEMS accelerometers are vital components that deliver accurate and reliable acceleration measurements, supporting improved safety, performance, and functionality across automotive and other technology applications. For instance, in January 2024, Bosch, a Germany-based automotive company, launched the world’s smallest MEMS accelerometers, the BMA530 and BMA580, designed for wearables and hearables and featuring integrated functionalities that simplify product design. The BMA530 is optimized for wearables with an embedded step counter, while the BMA580 is designed for hearables with voice activity detection. Their compact size enables easier placement on printed circuit boards, allowing seamless integration into portable and connected devices while delivering enhanced performance compared to previous-generation sensors.
In September 2024, Syntiant Corp, a US-based company that provides hardware and software solutions for edge artificial intelligence deployment, acquired Knowles Corporation for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to enable Syntiant to offer comprehensive turnkey solutions for always-on audio and speech applications by integrating MEMS microphones with its existing AI hardware and machine-learning technologies. Knowles Corporation is a US-based manufacturer specializing in automotive micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) solutions.
