According to AllTheResearch’s analysis, the global 3-axis accelerometer market ecosystem was valued at US$ 937.4 Mn in 2019 and is expected to reach US$ 1,494.1 Mn by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period. An accelerometer is mainly used for measuring acceleration due to gravity and the angle tilted with respect to the earth. A 3-axis accelerometer has three accelerometers orthogonally mounted, which allow the analysis of various components of a complex accelerometer. In laptops, it is used for freefall detection and in smartphones for text scrolling, image stability, motion dialing, and others. In addition to these, in gaming, tilt and motion sensing are detected by the accelerometers.
The coronavirus outbreak has severely impacted the supply chain across the manufacturing industry. There is inadequate of supply of smartphones, laptops, and wearables, which is impacting the 3-axis accelerometer market ecosystem demand. In addition to this, the prices of all products are expected to rise owing to a shortage in the supply of these products, which will hinder the overall demand for 3-axis accelerometers market ecosystem.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has bought along with a global recession, which has impacted several industries. Along with this impact, COVID Pandemic has also generated a few new business opportunities for the 3-Axis Accelerometer ecosystem. The overall competitive landscape and market dynamics of India Biometric Authentication Software has been disrupted due to this pandemic. All these disruptions and impacts have been analyzed quantifiably in this report, which is backed by market trends, events, and revenue shift analysis. COVID impact analysis also covers strategic adjustments for Tier 1, 2, and 3 players of the 3-Axis Accelerometer.
Various strategies such as new product development, mergers and acquisitions, and partnerships have been adopted by the key players in the market to gain a competitive edge. For instance, in April 2019, STMicroelectronics has developed a 3-axis accelerometer that combines temperature sensor for single die, for applications in IoT endpoints, wearables, and shipping trackers. In January 2019, Bosch Sensortec announced the BMI270, an ultra-low power smart IMU, specifically targeted at wearable applications. It extends the system’s battery life by handling multiple activity tracking, step counting, and gesture recognition functions, independently of the main system processor. In January 2018, Bosch Sensortec launched the BMA400, an ultra-low power acceleration sensor for wearable and IoT applications. It draws ten times less current than the existing accelerometers while delivering solid high performance.
The increasing adoption of 3-axis accelerometers in wearable devices is one of the primary reasons for the growth in accelerometer market. These are 12-bit and 10-bit low-noise, low-power accelerometers that provide an extensive range of performance for wearable devices. The device reduces the need of the host controller and decreases power consumption in wearable devices. The accelerometer helps deliver greater freedom and flexibility to the design of motion-enabled consumer electronics. In addition to this, 3-axis digital accelerometers can also detect human fall. For instance, many elderly individuals suffer accidental falls due to weakness or dizziness.
Apart from senior citizens, there are several conditions and activities for which an instant alert to a probable fall, especially from a substantial height, would be quite helpful for people such as construction workers, mountaineers, window washers, painters, and roofers. Wearable devices can detect or predict all types of falls, due to which their demand is increasing. Wearable products are likely to gain traction in the coming years. The increasing demand for wearable devices in the consumer electronics sector is mostly attributed to the rising consumer demand, along with improved communication and miniaturization of sensor technology in wearables. Sensors and wearable devices can be integrated into various other devices such as headphones, wristwatches, and smartphones due to their compact size and advanced integration technologies. Moreover, wearable electronic devices find compelling applications in sports and fitness.
