Companies analyzed in the report

Magnetometers are widely integrated in consumer applications. Moreand more devices will require a positioning system and magnetometersare essential for such a purpose. A CAGR of +8% in units is forecasted byYole Développement from 2015 to 2020.

In this report, 3-Axis & 6-Axis eCompasses from different suppliers anddifferent generations are compared in term of technology choice,manufacturing process and cost. The main eCompass references have beenextracted from a wide selection of smartphones and analyzed. Size andtechnology quickly evolve but the main players remain AKM and Yamaha,representing more than 80% of the market. Nevertheless, several productsfrom other players have been analyzed as well. These players, like AichiSteel, ALPS, Bosch, Everspin, Honeywell or MEMSIC use differenttechnologies and could disrupt the market within the next years.
