US Acoustic Sensors Industry Overview
Acoustic sensors are a relatively simple device to manufacture. Consequently, the market is highly fragmented, with many global and local manufacturers contributing to the market dynamics. The MEMS market is seeing steady growth, but companies have to face cut-throat competition leading to brutal price declines and low margins. The market is continually adding new entrants into the market.
- December 2020, a US-based integrated device manufacturer (IDM) of acoustic wave high-band RF filters for mobile and other wireless applications, Akoustis Technologies Inc, announced that the company had been awarded a design win from a second Wi-Fi 6 customer for its 5.2/5.6 GHz RF coexistence filter solutions. The company expects the design to enter production in the first half of 2021.
- September 2020, US-based Sandia National Laboratories have made significant progress toward developing an integrated nucleic acid amplification system for Autonomous Medical Devices Incorporated (AMDIs) Optikus handheld diagnostic device. This effort developed a set of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) primers for SARS-CoV-2 and then demonstrated amplification directly on the SAW sensor.
- May 2020, San Diego-based Roswell Biotechnologies and nano innovator, Imec collaborated to make the first molecular electronics biosensors chips commercially available in 2021. Such chips would help detect COVID-19 and other diseases and for precision medicine, as well as low-cost genome sequencing on portable or even handheld devices.
