AMA Market Statistics
More Information
The AMA market statistics are divided into two parts:
Part 1:
This section is for quantities per major parameter as defined in the AMA nomenclature. To avoid multiple mentions, the questionnaire differentiates between sensor elements (OEM components) and sensor systems (measuring systems with integrated sensor elements).
Part 2:
This section deals with measuring systems, regardless of the parameters with which they are associated. This allows detection of trends, such as the movement from analog to digital transducers.
The entries are allocated to price segments to allow determination of the turnover based on the reported quantities as well as to indicate different technologies or market segments, such as automotive application, which have great quantities in a low price segment.
In the comprehensive questionnaire, a company’s data is usually relevant to only a few of the segments, so that the time needed to enter the data is less than it would seem considering the size of the questionnaire.
