Inertial Systems Market

Global Inertial Systems Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global inertial systems market is expected at USD 12.23 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to succeed in the valuation of USD 16.02 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.54% during the forecast period.

Inertial systems, and more specifically inertial navigation systems, use rotation sensors, computers, and motion sensors to measure factors such as velocity and orientation. These are commonly used on ships, guided missiles, submarines and spacecraft. Advanced inertial systems also include magnetic sensors and speedometers. The Inertial Systems Market Industry focuses on all key aspects, including various components such as IMUs, gyroscopes, reference systems, and flight attitudes. Industry-based applications such as industrial vehicles, household appliances, aerospace and defence, energy, infrastructure, transportation, medical and land transportation are also part of the industry.

MARKET DRIVERS

Inertial System Market Trends shows increase in adoption of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, advanced robotic vehicles that are remotely controlled using sensor technology are being adopted.

These development technologies will increase the production of upgraded unmanned underwater vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, or unmanned ground vehicles. Therefore, today's conflict scenarios require precise location details, such as elevation and orientation of tactical equipment. This information is needed for efficient target planning and implementation. Inertial navigation systems are a collection of sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes that provide information about the position, orientation, and velocity of moving objects. These systems provide accurate location information and expand their usefulness in the defence sector. As a result, the growing firepower of the military and the growing demand for navigation accuracy around the world have supported the expansion of the market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Inertial navigation systems are widely used in defence applications such as ships, guided munitions, military, special mission helicopters, fighter aircraft, submarines, and short, medium, and long-range missiles. As a result, the use of INS in critical environmental conditions necessitates routine maintenance. The cost of procurement, operation, and maintenance for routine maintenance is high.

However, it is primarily used in various commercial and military applications to improve navigation capabilities. During the forecast period, the growing demand for remotely controlled vehicles is expected to drive up demand for INS. Furthermore, with the advancement of the GNSS/INS system, the accuracy error of INS is being eliminated.
