Market Trends of MEMS Gyroscope Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the MEMS Gyroscope Market according to our research experts:
Automotive and Aerospace Sector is Expected to Hold the Major Market Share
- Vehicle dynamic control (VDC) system consists of a gyroscope, a low-g accelerometer, and wheel-speed sensors at each wheel (the ABS can also use the wheel-speed sensors). Wheel speed is measured, and the predicted turn rate of the car is compared with that measured by the gyroscope.
- Rollover detection systems use a gyroscope to detect the roll rate. An accelerometer reading vertical acceleration (Z-axis) is also required because large roll angles can be encountered in banked curves with no possibility of a rollover.
- Navigation system relies on compass and GPS information when the system is first started. The direction of travel is then matched up with map data to give the system more certainty regarding direction. With the adoption of GPS navigation systems, customers are most likely to shift to Gyroscope-powered GPS in order to get accurate readings.

North America is Expected to Hold the Major Market Share
- Gyroscope technologies are primarily being developed in the North American region. Driven by government regulations for safety and emissions, the introduction of high-end options in modern vehicles by major automobile manufacturers and consumer demand for safety, comfort, infotainment applications, and fuel efficiency, automotive electronics content per vehicle is on the rise. As the electronics content is increasing in automobiles, the number of automotive sensors used in vehicles is also increasing.
- Primarily, the government regulations in North America drive the demand for automobile safety features that range from passive to integrated active and passive safety systems. These developments are driving increased demand for applications, such as tire pressure monitoring, electronic stability control, occupant detection, and advanced driver assistant systems.
- MEMS Gyroscope has enabled exciting applications in portable devices, including optical image stabilization for camera performance improvement, the user interface for additional features and ease of use, and gaming for more exciting entertainment. As North America is the biggest market for consumer electronics, the adoption rate of MEMS gyroscope is expected to follow the same trend.
