Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) Market: Worldwide Industry Analysis and New Market Opportunities Explored

IMU is a self-contained system which is used to measure angular and linear motion with a triad of accelerometers and triad of gyroscopes. An IMU can either be strap down or gimballed, thereby outputting the integrating quantities of acceleration and angular velocity in the sensor or body frame. The rising advancement of global lifestyle has encouraged the use of equipment with better ergonomics. This is generally supported by the use of motion sensing technology which includes inertial sensors. IMUs are used majorly for applications like industrial, marine and military, for effective control, stabilization, navigation, guidance, and surveying.

The demand across these applications is majorly driven by ability of IMUs to function in extreme environmental conditions, including heavy buildings, tunnels, and underwater. These IMUs can also be used in places with no or very limited GPS access. The end products of IMU include Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS), which are used as a major component in ships and submarine, aircrafts, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.(UAV), Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), spaceships, high-end automotive and guided missiles, among others.

The growing advancement in Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) is one of the most prominent factors which are bolstering the demand of IMUs. This is generally triggered by the advancements across digital signal processing space. Also, the market demand is fuelled by the increasing need for better navigation techniques and growing manufacturing of aircrafts worldwide. The market growth is also driven by improved product solutions such as the small quartz-based MEMs, which are seeing higher adoption being economical and energy efficient as compared to the traditional IMUs. These new MEMs IMUs are considered to be very efficient in underwater applications due to their ability to withstand high vibration and temperature conditions which allows these systems to function for much longer period. However, the market growth is restricted by the greater operational complexity with high maintenance and operational cost.

The global IMU market has been segmented on the basis of components, platforms, gyro technology, applications and geographical regions. On the basis of various components, the market is classified into gyroscope, magnetometer, and accelerometer. Based on different platforms where these IMUs are implemented, the market has been divided into airborne, land and naval (water). Based on various gyro technologies, the market is classified into Ring Laser Gyro (RLG), Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG), Hemispherical Resonator Gyro (HRG), Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), and vibrating gyro among others.

In terms of applications, the global IMU market has been classified into control and stabilization, measurement and testing, navigation and correction, unmanned control, payloads, underwater systems, mobile mapping, automotive testing and bore industry. Based on various geographical locations, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. The global IMU market in North America is mainly driven by the high levels of investment done by the U.S. government in these advanced technologies which is supporting the military prioritization on IMU.

Low Power Display Market: Projection of Each Major Segment over the Forecast Period 2017 - 2025

  Low power display technology is treated separately from our modern world. High resolution displays with low power are considered by many consumers to represent the low power display technology. The development in optoelectronics and nanotechnology has changed the low power display market . The low power display market consumes of less power than plasma technologies and cathode ray tube (CRT). Low-power features have become essential for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) due to environmental concerns. The technology that saves energy by decreasing the power consumption of the backlight unit in a display panel is considered in in low power display technology.  A low refresh-rate technology was introduced in order to further minimize power consumption in the display panel. The low refresh-rate was achieved by employing oxide thin-film transistors (Ox-TFTs) with extremely low leakage currents. However, flicker may be visible due to the current leakage through the liqu...

Light Weapons Market: Key Players and Production Information analysis with Forecast 2025

Light weapons are weapons which are used by two or three persons serving as a crew, although some of them may be carried and used by a single person. Light weapons are basically used by militaries around the world and its applications have increased widely among armed groups. They include, inter alia, heavy machine guns, hand-held under-barrel and mounted grenade launchers, portable anti-aircraft guns, portable anti-tank guns, recoilless rifles, portable launchers of anti-tank missile and rocket systems, portable launchers of anti-aircraft missile systems as well as mortars of a caliber of less than 100 millimeters. The latest generation of light weapons is more destructive, more portable, and generally more competent than older systems, raising concerns about their uncontrolled generation. Light weapons are represented by their durability, cost effectiveness, accessibility and utility. In terms of military and non-military demand, such criteria perfectly match the needs of those who...
