STMicroelectronics Identified by IHS as Fastest Growing Automotive-Sensors Supplier
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Geneva, November 10, 2015 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, has been recognized by IHS, the leading global source of
information and analytics, as the leader in automotive sensors for navigation
and telematics, as well as the fastest growing automotive-sensor supplier
worldwide.[1]
Focused on making driving safer, greener, and more convenient, ST is already a
top supplier of integrated circuits to the automotive sector with more than 30
years' experience across a number of vehicles subsystems, including 32-bit
microcontrollers, ADAS, power and smart power, telematics, and infotainment.
Leveraging this expertise and its close relationships with leading automotive
suppliers, ST has rapidly built upon its leading portfolio of consumer-grade
sensors to create devices that meet the stringent requirements and the specifics
of the automotive market.
Starting from sensors for navigation and telematics (identified as "non-
safety"), ST moved into passive safety, notably with key design wins for its
sensors in airbag applications. The Company is now entering a third phase, with
MEMS sensors for the most demanding applications in a vehicle: active-safety
applications, such as electronic stability control (ESC).
"STMicroelectronics is really capitalizing on two major trends in the automotive
MEMS sensor market," said Jérémie Bouchaud, Senior Principal Analyst at IHS for
MEMS & Sensors. "First, some tier-1 companies are beginning to outsource more
and more sensing, including safety-critical applications like airbags and
especially electronic stability control, where adoption rate is particularly
high due the mandated adoption in major automotive markets. And second, low-
cost, multiple-axis sensors such as monolithic 3-axis gyroscopes and 3-axis
accelerometers from consumer suppliers are simplifying mounting and adding
functionality through the extra measurement axes, which are essentially 'coming
for free' in an inertial measurement unit with gyroscope and accelerometer that
is comparable to existing automotive sensors in price but with less axes of
measurement."
