Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Strong demand for IMU sensors from automotive applications is the key factor driving market growth. ADAS systems are installed in cars to reduce human errors while driving, which can lead to accidents. ADAS is especially beneficial in long rides, where the major cause of accidents is fatigue. The developed regions such as North America and Europe are anticipated to be the major markets for ADAS. The growth in the ADAS segment is a positive driver for the global automotive IMU sensor market during the forecast period.
In addition, airbags are used in vehicles to ensure the safety of the occupants in case of an accident. These airbags are operated through an airbag control unit, which uses the input provided by various sensors, such as automotive IMU sensors. Hence, the growing demand for airbags in vehicles is a crucial driver for the adoption of automotive IMU sensors. Thus, such factors will drive the growth of the global automotive sensor market during the forecast period.
The growing development of autonomous vehicles to increase IMU adoption is the primary trend shaping market growth. 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.
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.
