Microsoft® Excel® file (.xls)The MEMS and sensor market is experiencing strong growth, driven by the proliferation of smart devices, IoT networks, and autonomous systems. Key devices — including accelerometers, gyroscopes, pressure sensors, and environmental sensors — require precise microfabrication and specialized process integration, making fab capabilities a critical differentiator. High-yield manufacturing, advanced process control, and vertical integration are essential to ensure device performance and reliability.
Regional incentives and government programs are further supporting fab expansion, with a focus on strengthening domestic supply chains and reducing reliance on global bottlenecks. As consumer electronics, automotive sensing, and industrial automation continue to advance, MEMS and sensor fabs are becoming critical infrastructure — enabling scalable, high-precision production for next-generation intelligent systems.
The MEMS & Sensors Fab Report provides strategic insights into the global semiconductor manufacturing landscape, focusing on front-end facilities specializing in MEMS and sensor technologies. The report covers over 400 facilities and production lines across 200 companies, ranging from R&D labs to large-scale volume fabs.
SEMI MEMS and Sensors Report (Published April 15, 2026)
Fab equipment spending for MEMS & Sensors reached a record high of US$12.4 billion in 2023. It then followed a volatile trajectory, with a 16% decline in 2025 and an 18% rebound in 2026. Spending is expected to continue growing by 5%, 2%, and 4% in 2027, 2028, and 2029, respectively, exceeding US$13 billion by 2029.
From the beginning of 2026 through the end of 2029, the industry is expected to add 13 new volume facilities and production lines, including both greenfield sites and expansions of existing facilities.
Over the 12-year period from 2018 to 2029, the report identifies a total of 456 facilities and production lines.

The report uses a bottom-up approach, tracking projects per cleanroom facility but uses also a top-down analysis by company, region, and industry segment.
The information of the fab reports is compiled from a variety of industry sources, including news articles, publicly available data, capital spending plans, earnings reports, SEC filings, corporate presentations, announced fab projects, ramp schedules, and technology roadmaps.
We make every effort to contact each company directly to update and verify information whenever possible. In addition, we rely on our established global network and a variety of other trusted industry sources to confirm data. We also incorporate various economic indicators into our forecast modeling, including GDP, industry revenue, macroeconomic conditions, and individual company strategies.
Additionally, we benchmark our data against the Worldwide Semiconductor Equipment and Materials (WWSEMS) report to refine historical data and adjust our forecast model accordingly. The WWSEMS report, published monthly, provides billing figures from a wide range of participating equipment suppliers.
When direct verification is not possible, or information is incomplete or delayed, we apply best-educated estimates within our fab forecast model. This model tracks each fab project in detail—monitoring quarterly construction and equipment spending, production capacities, technologies, wafer sizes, and product types. As new information becomes available, we promptly update the data to maintain accuracy and reliability.
