Focus areas for SBD include sensor technologies and applications with
particular growth potential, such as microfabricated sensors, intelligent sensors, optical sensors, multiparameter sensors, automotive and environmental sensors, factory and office automotive and environmental sensors for consumer electronics/appliances. Sensor Business Digest assesses the realistic opportunities and threats in the current and future marketplace for each type of sensor reviewed.
Manufacturing Automation clarifies and evaluates market opportunities for a range of hardware and software solutions, including enterprise resource planning systems, manufacturing execution systems, CAD/CAM/CAE software, rapid prototyping products, industrial computers, supply chain management, and e-commerce solutions.
In addition, VIP's custom-client market research and consulting operations have significantly expanded over the years. Representative project reports and consulting activities that we have engaged in include; evaluating automotive and industrial market opportunities for Hall effect, magnetoresistive, giant magnetoresistive, and variable reluctance speed and position sensors; clarifying and quantifying growth applications for various types of low-field magnetometers; specifying the key features the a solid-state gas sensor is required to provide to penetrate particularly viable identified markets; identifying and evaluating key providers of silicon pressure and temperature sensors; delineating the opportunities and constraints for marketing semiconductor gas sensors for a new entrant; and assessing the key players and. market opportunities for acquiring a company involved in temperature, humidity and/or gas sensing.
Additional custom reports prepared by VIP entail: forecasting growth and trends in the residential CO gas sensor arena, as well as in the NOx sensor market; determining the prospects for automotive exhaust emission sensors and the time frame for the market adoption/penetration of such sensors; identifying key participants and trends in the markets for photonic sensors, magnetic sensors, and microfabricated microphones, and forecasting the size and growth of these markets; quantifying and evaluating opportunities in the speed sensor arena; evaluating end-user needs and preferences for pressure transducers; assessing the competiitve environment and forecasting demand for humidty sensors; and quantifying in-depth the market for key types of temperature sensors (e.g., thermistors, RTDs, thermocouples, IC temperature sensors) .
In the process of preparing Sensor Business Digest, VIP conducts its own market research and access to a multitude of data from outside sources. VIP has provided forecasts on numerous key sensor markets, including those for silicon pressure, acceleration, mass airflow sensors, and microstructures; various types of gas, humidity, magnetic, and temperature sensors; and optical sensors.
