Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Market Global Scenario, Market Size, Outlook, Trend and Forecast, 2016 – 2025

Global Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Market size is projected to be valued $XX Billion by 2025; with a CAGR of XX% from 2017 to 2025. An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is an electronic device which measures & reports body's angular rate, specific force, and the magnetic field surrounding the body by using a combination of gyroscopes and accelerometers, sometimes also magnetometers. IMUs are generally used to maneuver aircraft, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), among many others, and spacecraft, including satellites and landers. IMU is a self-contained system can be strapdown or gimballed, outputting the integrating quantities of acceleration and angular velocity in the body frame. Some of the applications include aircraft, marine, military armored vehicles, missiles, space launch vehicles, UAV, UGV, UMV, and consumer electronics among others.

Technological developments and growing demand for IMU-enabled devices in various micro-electro-mechanical sectors are boosting the growth of the global Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) market. Moreover, gun-hard survivability and high performance in different energy verticals and integration of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) with industrial corporates are also expected to fuel the growth of the market.
