Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Market was valued at USD 22.6 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to USD 45.9 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 8.22% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.

An inertial measurement unit is an electronic device that uses accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers to detect velocity, angular rate, direction, and gravitational forces. Inertial measurement units are employed as components of navigation and guidance systems to track a vehicle's position, velocity, and orientation. Navigation and correction, control and stabilisation, measurement and testing, mobile mapping, and unmanned system control all make use of inertial measurement units. The data obtained from inertial measurement units is processed by a computer in order to establish the current position based on velocity and time in an inertial navigation system.

microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) Due to the widespread use of MEMS in unmanned systems, gyro technology is expected to account for the largest CAGR during the review period. MEMS gyroscopes are commonly used to determine angular velocity utilising a sensor vibrating mechanical element. It does not have any spinning parts due to its modest size.

IMPACT OF COVID-19

Because of the COVID-19 scenario, ongoing research and development in inertial measurement units has been hampered by announced lockdowns and government bans on public gatherings.

The COVID-19 impact has caused a slowing in the economies of various countries, which may hamper government spending in defence projects. Such a reduction in expenditure will have a direct impact on the growth of the inertial measurement unit market.

Travel restrictions and reduced military activity as a result of COVID-19 have also hampered the expansion of the inertial measurement market, as the supply chain of associated spare components has been disrupted.

The global inertial measuring unit market may see significant growth in the coming quarter, as industry output has begun to pick up steam following the difficult phase of COVID-19.

The MEMS category is expected to have the highest CAGR rate for the inertial measurement unit market during the forecast period, based on technology. Because of their low weight and comparably superior accuracy in a small package, these small, lightweight systems offer an advantage over other types of IMUs. In the next years, MEMS-based IMUs are likely to replace FOG IMUs in tactical grade performance applications.

The commercial grade category is expected to develop at the fastest CAGR for the inertial measurement unit market during the forecast period. Consumer and enterprise-grade IMUs are examples of commercial grade IMUs. Consumer-grade IMUs are utilised in low-end applications like phones, tablets, car airbag systems, and so on, whereas enterprise-grade IMUs are employed in small UAVs.

A gyroscope is used to determine the orientation and quantify the angular motion of UMVs, aircraft, UGVs, and UAVs utilising the earth's gravity. An accelerometer is a significant component of an aircraft since it measures non-gravitational acceleration and velocity. Magnetometers are commonly used in conjunction with gyroscopes and accelerometers to improve the accuracy of attitude estimation.

Autonomous vehicles are outfitted with a variety of sensors, including a motion sensor, to collect data on their properties and control movements. In autonomous vehicles, inertial measurement units are used to determine location and orientation. Furthermore, such vehicles are outfitted with a variety of electronic technologies, including backup assistance systems, autonomous braking systems, front collision warning systems, and others. Inertial measuring units are used to regulate the majority of these electronic systems. As a result, increased investments in self-driving cars will contribute to the growth of the worldwide inertial measurement unit market.

15. Conclusion

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
