The automotive industry is undergoing a rapid transformation, driven by three megatrends: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Electrification, and Smart Mobility. As vehicles become increasingly automated, connected, and electrified, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are playing a pivotal role in enabling next-generation performance, safety, and efficiency. In ADAS, MEMS inertial sensors ensure precise positioning and sensor fusion for autonomous navigation, while MEMS-based microbolometers enhance Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems for pedestrian and obstacle detection in low-light conditions. Additionally, MEMS timing solutions are replacing quartz-based components for reliable sensor synchronization in LiDAR, radar, and vision-based perception systems. In Electrification, MEMS pressure sensors are becoming essential for Battery Management Systems (BMS), enabling early detection of thermal runaway and improving battery safety. In Smart Mobility, MEMS are revolutionizing vehicle intelligence through advanced Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) that integrate pressure, acceleration, and load sensing to optimize vehicle dynamics and predictive maintenance. Inside the vehicle, MEMS microphones, environmental sensors, and ultrasonic touch interfaces enhance in-cabin user experience, voice recognition, and air quality monitoring, driving a new era of intelligent, user-centric mobility. This presentation will explore the latest market trends and forecasts for automotive MEMS, highlighting growth opportunities and emerging applications shaping the future of mobility.
