This MEMS Players report provides evaluation and optimization of MEMS companies value and an exhaustive databases and analysis of M&A and fundraising activities. 

OBJECTIVES

• This report is a tool dedicated to help decision makers evaluate MEMS companies’ corporate value and growth strategies.
• Supported by powerful MEMS industry analysis, this report presents key metrics that are used to evaluate corporate financial performance and valuation.
• It contains the “must have” data you need to make your corporate strategy decision with a value creation perspective.

This Report includes:

• The analysis of MEMS industry corporate performance with market, technology and financial perspectives;
• 2 complete databases of MEMS companies’ financial transactions (fundraising and M&A);
• A benchmark of MEMS companies multiple value and financial performance ratios by business model.

Designed as a tool to support both MEMS companies and investors in their decision making process with the relevant key indicators, this report will help determine:

• Where to invest in the MEMS area?
• What is the best business model to adopt?
• How to benchmark a MEMS company?
• How to optimize MEMS company value?

MAIN CHALLENGES

The current economic crisis is obviously impacting the MEMS industry. But, despite the current challenges in the market, several market segments are well-positioned for high growth in the coming years as the MEMS industry enters the mainstream semiconductor market. Companies founded in early 2000 have entered the top 30 MEMS manufacturers along side the larger semiconductor players. If the first focus was the miniaturization of printers and selected sensors, the MEMS industry provides now a broad range of new products and applications in the defense, automotive, industrial, communication and consumer markets.

The MEMS industry contains several high-growth opportunities for financial and strategic investors. Our analysis shows that in the past 3 years, more than 35 strategic investments have been done through acquisitions. In the same period, VC’s have invested more than $800M in the industry

The economic cycle will impact the financial transaction market. Opportunities will arise rapidly for MEMS companies as investors seek to solidify positions necessary for future growth. Execution of corporate strategy will require additional capital.

This report provides MEMS companies with key data to conduct their own benchmarking and first assessment of their company’s value. Companies and investors will also have a clear picture of what happened in the MEMS area with a detailed database of more than 400 financial transactions since 1998.

Value-Added of this Report

For MEMS Industry CEOs, CFOs and investors it provides the following:

• Complete databases of more than 400 financial transactions
• A benchmarking of key financial ratio per components/applications field
• An analysis of the market dynamics
• An analysis of how to create value for a MEMS company.

Benefits:

Designed as a tool to support both MEMS companies and investors in their decision making process with the relevant key indicators, this report will help determine:

• Where to invest in the MEMS area
• What is the best business model to adopt
