Description Jump to:
The global inertial measurement unit market size reached US$ 24.2 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 67.4 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 12.05% during 2023-2032.

The inertial measurement unit (IMU) refers to a self-contained system used for measuring the linear and angular motion of an object. Some of the commonly used devices in an IMU include, precision gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers. The gyroscope can measure the rotational speed and rate of an object, a magnetometer is used to measure the magnetic strength of the signal and an accelerometer is used for measuring movement and orientation of the objects. They are widely used in helicopters, civil and military aircraft, armored vehicles, drones, missiles, robots and various consumer electronic products.

The rapid modernization of military equipment and defense systems represents one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Fiber optic IMUs are widely used with autonomous navigation systems in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that can operate in extreme weather conditions. They are utilized for firefighting, bomb detection and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) activities. Furthermore, the widespread product adoption for virtual and augmented reality (V/AR) systems and generating artificial environments and measuring alterations in speed, orientation and acceleration is providing a thrust to the market growth. They are also used as an orientation sensor in next-generation smartphones, tablets and gaming devices.

Additionally, various technological advancements, such as the development of microelectromechanical (MEMS)-based IMUs that can be integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT), are acting as other growth-inducing factors. These innovative nano-IMUs are highly compact and are extensively used in lightweight and miniaturized devices. Other factors, including significant growth in the robotics industry, along with extensive research and development (R&D) activities, are anticipated to drive the market further.

About the Market

The Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) market within the avionics industry is a rapidly growing sector. IMUs are used to measure and report a craft's velocity, orientation, and gravitational forces. They are essential components of modern avionics systems, providing critical data for navigation, guidance, and control. IMUs are typically composed of three orthogonal accelerometers and three orthogonal gyroscopes, which measure linear and angular motion respectively. The data collected by these sensors is then processed and used to calculate the craft's attitude, position, and velocity. The IMU market is driven by the increasing demand for advanced avionics systems in commercial and military aircraft. The need for improved navigation accuracy and safety has led to the development of more sophisticated IMUs, which are capable of providing higher resolution data. This has resulted in increased demand for IMUs in the avionics industry. Notable companies in the IMU market include Honeywell, Northrop Grumman, Thales Group, and Safran. These companies produce a wide range of IMUs for various applications, ranging from commercial aircraft to military drones. Show Less Read more
