The global Inertial measurement units (IMU) market was valued at USD 16.2 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 24.9 billion in 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.59% during the forecast period.
Inertial measurement units (IMU) functions as an electronic device used mainly to measure and analyses the velocity, gravitational forces, and orientation by using gyroscopes and accelerometers, and magnetometers.
The growth of the IMU market is primarily driven by tracking real-time vehicle’s position with respect to inclination, growing demand for accuracy in navigation, growing production and sales of smartphones, increase in demand for aircraft and missiles due to changing nature of warfare and fewer costs of miniaturized components. Moreover, rising demand from growing end-use industries, such as automotive & transportation, consumer electronics, and aerospace and defense sectors in emerging countries also drive the growth of the global IMU market. On the other hand, high operational and maintenance costs along with operational complexity and less defense budget in developing countries are creating a major hindrance to its market growth. However, continuous development in commercial driverless vehicles and MEMS-Based IMU and growing advancement in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies are expected to create major growth opportunities during the forecast period.
