Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Market
Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Market Size was valued at USD 25.5 billion in 2022. The inertial measurement unit (IMU) market industry is projected to grow from USD 27.5 Billion in 2023 to USD 44.3 billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.22% during the forecast period (2023 - 2030).
The Rising Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) market accounted for us$ 15.14 billion in 2020 and is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 6% to USD 22.72 billion by 2026. (2021-2026). High-end IMUs have served as the main element in inertial navigation systems, which are used to gauge the movement of objects in areas where other types of GPS devices are unreliable.
One of the major factors influencing Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Market demand is the reduction in the size and energy consumption of IMU devices, as well as the expansive application base of MEMS technology for high-end inertial processes without compromising performance metrics. This miniaturization trend is expected to continue throughout the forecast period.
The significant reduction in the size of high-end IMUs, combined with the emergence of wireless connectivity technology, has accelerated adoption in a wide range of applications, from heavy industry to biomechanical and virtual reality.
Technological advancements in MEMS manufacturing, as well as technologies in fabrication and micro-machining processes, have accelerated the commercial viability of high-end inertial processes. They are widely used in land, defense, industrial, and aerospace apps to obtain high-accuracy and precision-based measurements of vector-based factors that are typically classified based on performance by bias stability, degree of freedom, device variety, and scope for error.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had two effects on the market studied, especially in the industrial segment. Production has slowed as a result of social distancing measures implemented by manufacturing industries worldwide. On the other hand, the outbreak of COVID-19 has forced a few companies to re-evaluate their traditional production processes, mainly driving technological change and smart manufacturing practices across assembly lines.
The satellites/space vehicles platform segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR for the inertial measurement unit market throughout the forecast period. They are used for broadcasting, cell phones, satellite tracking, and weather prediction, and they are outfitted with advanced satellite telescopes for space research. They are also used to conduct search and rescue missions, as well as to monitor the ocean, prevailing winds, wildfires, oil spills, and aerial pollution.
