Accelerometers are electronic devices used to detect acceleration forces acting upon an object. These forces can result from motion, gravity, or vibration. They may be static, like gravitational pull, or dynamic, such as those caused by movement or impact, enabling the sensor to identify variations in speed or direction.

The primary type of accelerometers includes AC response, piezoelectric, DC response, capacitive, and piezoresistive variants. AC response accelerometers are specifically designed to measure dynamic forces like vibrations and shocks, making them well-suited for applications such as machinery monitoring, automotive crash testing, and structural health evaluations. These sensors are available in various axis configurations 1-axis, 2-axis, and 3-axis allowing for accurate measurement in multiple directions. They are widely utilized across diverse industries, including consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, aerospace and defense, and industrial operations.North America was the largest region in the accelerometers market in 2025.
