High-Performance IMU Market Analysis

The High-performance IMU Market is expected to register a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period.

  • One of the major factors that have impacted the demand in the market is the scaling down in the size and power consumption of IMU devices and the expanding application base of MEMS technology for high-end inertial systems, without compromising on their performance metrics. This trend of miniaturization is expected to continue during the forecast period.
  • Marked reduction in the size of high-end IMUs, coupled with the emergence of wireless transmission technology have improved the rate of adoption in a wide range of applications, ranging from industrial to biomechanical and virtual reality sectors.
  • Technological advancements in the field of MEMS manufacturing along with the innovations in fabrication and micro-machining process have led to the paced commercialization of high-end inertial systems. They are being widely used in land, defence, industrial and aerospace applications for obtaining high-accuracy, and precision-based measurement of vector-based variables that usually categorized, based on performance, using bias stability, degree of freedom, device range and scope for error.
  • The automotive sector is the newly emerging market for high-performance IMUs following advancements in applications, such as stability control, safety measures, and crash detection systems. As premium automakers are approaching toward L5 autonomous driving in next 10 years, the market will open a huge opportunity for IMU-powered MEMS sensors related to acceleration, LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging), and motion detection systems.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has been effecting the market studied in two ways, especially in the industrial sector. Owing to the social distancing measures being followed by the manufacturing industries globally, there has been a production slowdown. While on the other side, a few companies, the outbreak of COVID-19 has forced the manufacturing industries to re-evaluate their traditional production processes, primarily driving the digital transformation and smart manufacturing practices across the production lines.

High-Performance IMU Industry Overview

The high-performance inertial measurement unit market is moderately competitive and consists of a few major players. In terms of market share, some of the players currently dominate the market. However, with the advancement in the MEMS sensor technology, new players are increasing their market presence thereby expanding their business footprint across the emerging economies.

  • June 2019 - Bosch Sensortec announced the BMI270, an ultra-low power smart Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) specifically targeted for wearable applications. It offers the strongly improved accelerometer offset and sensitivity performance, by the help of latest Bosch MEMS process technology.
  • June 2020 -Analog Devices Inc. announced its high-precision inertial measurement unit (IMU) has been selected by CHC Navigation to enable its next generation, real-time kinematic (RTK) rover receiver, which can achieve high-precision and high-efficiency positioning and measurement at any position through the combination of satellite and inertial positioning.
