The global accelerometer market size is estimated to grow from USD 3.16 billion in the current year to USD 6.45 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 6.70% during the forecast period, till 2035.

Accelerometer Market: Growth and Trends

An accelerometer is a compact electronic sensor that detects acceleration forces relative to free fall acting on an object. This device tracks changes in velocity and converts the data into electrical signals, supplying important information about an object's movement, vibrations, and direction. Accelerometers play a crucial role in motion-sensing systems, especially in vehicles, as they enable electronic stability control, airbag deployment, and the measurement of acceleration forces along with various safety features. Fueled by the application of micro-machining and micro-fabrication techniques, accelerometers are now utilized across different industries, such as automotive, aerospace & defense, healthcare, and consumer electronics.

It is worth mentioning that accelerometers are also found in smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices for functionalities like screen orientation, step counting, and other critical metrics. For example, in the healthcare field, there is a significant demand for remote monitoring tools that utilize accelerometers to track essential health data for creating treatment strategies. With the increasing adoption, numerous industry leaders are concentrating on trends like integrating IoT (Internet of Things), sensor fusion technologies, and artificial intelligence to improve the accuracy and sensitivity of accelerometers.

In addition, the rise of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology-based accelerometers allows for real-time assessment of orientation and angular velocity with enhanced precision. These MEMS accelerometers are employed in drones for live tracking of velocity, location, and acceleration forces. As a result, owing to the above mentioned factors, the accelerometer market is expected to experience significant growth during the forecast period.

Accelerometer Market: Key Segments

Market Share by Type of Accelerometer

Based on type of accelerometer, the global accelerometer market is segmented into AC response (piezoelectric) and DC response (capacitive, mems (micro-electro-mechanical systems) and piezoresistive). According to our estimates, currently, the DC response accelerometers segment captures the majority of the market share.
