Cars use more and more MEMS sensors, good news for industry

Recent indicators given out by several industry monitors, confirm the solid growth in automotive applications, like acceleration, pressure, shock, vibration, and other sensitive applications. iSuppli quotes 18% growth as opposing to the year 2009, and even rose above the record year of 2007. 40% will be delivered in North America, around 1/3 in Europe the rest mostly in Asia.
At the same time bottleneck situation continues in the IC area in general and also in capacitors.
As mentioned in this blog earlier, lead times continue to grow longer.
