A - Market Challenges  
Whether you are setting the strategy for a foundry, or selecting a foundry partner for your product, now more than ever before, the choices made today will determine your future survival.  With competition increasing from a variety of players, MEMS Foundries need to solidify their business model, clarify their positioning and streamline their offering to insure long-term success.  
MEMS foundries are the new key players of the MEMS industry. Major open MEMS foundries are now profitable and most are moving to upgrade to 8-inch production lines. Growth of consumer applications and other high potential market opportunities have attracted new entrants coming from mainstream semiconductor, leveraging their high volume production lines combining CMOS technology and MEMS. A heated competition will start between established MEMS foundries and these new players experienced in volume production. The MEMS Foundry market is still very fragmented. The largest markets for MEMS foundries are inkjet printheads using mainly “exclusive” foundry services, but open foundries are developing innovative platforms addressing new applications like RF-MEMS or microphones and developing different approaches of product platform from fixed process to Multi-project Wafer (MPW).

B - Market metrics
With over 50 companies identified worldwide, MEMS foundries are the new key partners of the MEMS industry. While the foundry business experienced a booming 22% growth to reach $480 million in 2008, MEMS foundries do not expect more than single digit revenue increase for 2009 with low visibility on bookings. MEMS market share captured by foundries is increasing for most products because the structure of the MEMS industry is stabilizing with emerging MEMS companies choosing “fabless” or “fablite” business models and sharing the production risks of new products with the MEMS foundries.
