Global Non-Optical Inertial Sensor Market - Forecasts from 2022 to 2027

The global non-optical inertial sensor market was valued at US$5.092 billion in 2020 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 8.68% over the forecast period to reach US$9.118 billion by 2027.

Introduction

Non-optical sensors help in measuring the mechanical stress on objects without using light as a medium. The non-optical inertial sensor has a wide range of applications in various industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, manufacturing, and communication. The demand for non-optical sensors will witness a fast rise owing to their rising adoption in automation and in the manufacturing of electronic devices. The demand for these devices will increase in the future due to the rising penetration of electronics and industrial automation around the world. Furthermore, the growing semiconductor industry is anticipated to have a high demand for non-optical inertial sensors, which is expected to drive the growth of the overall market. The growing use of pressure sensors in industrial and household applications is driving the growth of the overall market. For instance, L-com, a brand manufacturer of electronics and wireless products, announced the launch of level and pressure sensors that are developed for IoT-related applications and operations. These sensors provide benefits to the industry as they provide high accuracy and can operate in harsh environments.

Market Drivers

• Growing demand for distributed temperature and pressure sensors

One of the primary reasons driving the market's growth is the continuously increasing demand from industries like automotive, consumer electronics, communication, and others. Temperature sensors give high accuracy while measuring temperatures over long distances and they provide several benefits. One of them is cost-effectiveness. The other two are immunity to shocks and vibrations, and they are also helpful in minimizing any uncertainty during the process. Furthermore, due to their miniature size, they can be easily fixed into pipes/ducts, and thus their wide range of applications is boosting the market growth of non-optical inertial sensors. The demand for automotive electronics will continue to rise due to the high demand for software-defined, cloud-connected electric vehicles, owing to which the demand for non-optical inertial sensors in the automotive sector is expected to increase during the forecasted period. High demand for consumer electronics- converged devices such as Smart TVs, smartphones, and digital setup boxes will be a major growth driver for non-optical inertial sensors. Increased demand for smartphones, with the on-going trend of remote working and online classes, the demand for laptops, and smartphones will continue to rise, which is projected to increase the demand for the non-optical inertial sensors. Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest market share in the non-optical inertial sensor market, because of its large consumer base with rapidly growing industries in developing countries like China, India, and others. North America accounted for the second-largest market and is projected to continue its growth during the forecast period. Moreover, the rising demand for sensors owing to their increasing use in industrial applications such as medical breathing applications, water purifiers, for monitoring the pressure of a vehicle's critical fluids, and alarm systems, is expected to further drive the overall market growth.

Steve Wozniak and Alex Fielding's start-up, Privateer, aims to be the Google Maps of space, for which they are planning to send their first satellite, dubbed "Pono 1," on February 11, 2022, into space. The spacecraft will be equipped with 42 sensors, 30 of which are non-optical and 12 of which are optical cameras.
