The global Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Market size is projected to reach USD 24.91 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.22% during the forecast period. Wide applicability of IMU sensors will be the key growth-driving factor for this market, according to the new Fortune Business Insights™ report, titled “Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Market Size, Share and Industry Analysis by Component (Accelerometers, Gyroscopes, and Magnetometers), By Technology (Mechanical Gyro, Ring Laser Gyro, Fiber Optics Gyro, MEMS and Others), By Platform (Airborne, Ground, Marine/Naval, and Space), By End-use Industry (Aerospace & Defense, Consumer Electronics, Marine/Naval, Automotive and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2020 – 2027”. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are a form of sensor technology that have the capability of calculating different parameters, including magnetic fields, angular rate, acceleration, direction, and speed, using three tools – magnetometer, gyroscope, and accelerometer. Owing to their enhanced capabilities, these devices are extensively used in military surveillance applications. For example, manned and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are equipped with IMUs for accurate calculation of altitude and relative position of the vehicle. This technology is also utilized as a supplement to GPS devices on account of their navigational abilities. Thus, these advantages of IMUs in various applications bode well for the progress of this market.
