  According to a new research report published by Transparency Market Research the  global accelerometer market  is projected to reach value of US$ 2,489.6 Mn by 2026, expanding at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2018 to 2026. The global market is expected to be influenced by a range of macroeconomic and market-specific factors during the forecast period. Demand for accelerometers is likely to be significant in Asia Pacific from 2018 to 2026.The market in the region is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period.   Rising demand for MEMS accelerometers in the consumer electronics sector drives the market Accelerometers are being incorporated into a number of personal electronic devices such as smartphones, wearable devices, gaming consoles, and media players. Accelerometers are used in laptops so that if the laptop accidently falls, the accelerometer can sense its fall and turn off the internal system in order to protect it from disastrous dama...

An accelerometer is a device that measures the acceleration of an object created by the inertial forces or due to mechanical action. Accelerometers are constructed to measure shocks and vibrations for a different range of applications.  Accelerometers are generally used with the gyroscopes for the navigation guidance. It is one of the most general type of inertial sensor.  When the accelerometer senses the acceleration, the mass gets displaced and the displacement is measured to give the acceleration. Accelerometers are fabricated on a silicon substrate that has a suspended small mass between two springs. When the accelerometer moves or gets tilted the mass moves in its relative surrounding substrate. Mostly there are three types of accelerometer that converts the mechanical action into electrical signal. They can be stated as piezoelectric, piezoresistive and capacitive type of accelerometers. Accelerometers are easy to use and measures with accuracy over a wide range of fr...
