Leading automotive manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz and BMW are actively propelling the development of self-driving cars, driving significant market trends and analysis. The increasing acceptance of semi-autonomous vehicles is concurrently fueling the demand for automotive sensors. It is anticipated that self-driving or unmanned vehicles will boost the quantum of electronic content in future vehicles, which will aid in accessing large volumes of data to make better decisions while driving.
Furthermore, the growth in the global autonomous vehicle market is crucial for the growth in the global automotive inertial measurement unit sensors market. This is attributed to the adoption of automotive IMU sensors as an integral part of many systems used in automated vehicles. Thus, the advent of autonomous technology will boost the global automotive inertial measurement unit sensors market growth during the forecast period.
Automotive Inertial Measurement Unit Sensors Market Challenge
Improper tuning of IMU sensors impacting driving behavior is a challenge that affects market growth. Improper tuning of the autonomous car technology system can create problems in vehicles due to the electronic output from sensors (such as IMU sensors) positioned for chassis control. This can cause serious mishaps while driving. Consequently, electronic system manufacturers need to be wary of such consequences if they are to deliver as per the user's expectations. Even occasional faults in the system can have a deleterious effect on the adoption of sensors, which can also negatively impact the overall growth of the market.
Furthermore, multiple sets of calibrations (as required in the sensor fusion unit) increase the power consumption of the device. Good calibration is a prerequisite for sensor fusion and, preferably, without the need for additional hardware. This and the issue of sensor drift are expected to be some of the primary issues to impede market growth during the forecast period.
