These players have spread their business across various countries includes North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Rest of the World. COVID-19 has impacted their businesses as well.

Increasing need to measure angular velocity in three dimensions is expected to fuel the growth of the gyroscope segment in the inertial measurement unit market during the forecast period.

The gyroscope segment is estimated to lead the market during the forecast period, with a share of 57% in 2021. Gyroscopes are used in various devices to calculate their actual velocity until these devices stabilize and provide the measurement of the angular velocity proportional to the external torque applied. They are used in different types of aircraft. Gyroscopes find application in the defense sector. They are also used in various industrial applications. Gyroscopes are extensively used in the consumer electronics and automotive industries. They are widely used in smartphones, owing to their orientation and rotation measurement capabilities.

The MEMS segment is projected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on technology, the MEMS segment is projected to be the highest CAGR rate for the inertial measurement unit market during the forecast period. These small, lightweight systems have an advantage over other types of IMUs due to their less weight and comparatively higher accuracy with a compact size. MEMS-based IMUs are expected to replace FOG IMUs in tactical grade performance applications in the coming years.

The commercial grade segment is projected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the grade, the commercial grade segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR rate for the inertial measurement unit market during the forecast period. Commercial grade IMUs include consumer grade IMUs and enterprise-grade IMUs. Consumer grade IMUs are used for low-end applications such as phones, tablets, automobile airbag systems, etc., while enterprise-grade IMUs are used in small UAVs.
