The Fiber Optic Gyroscopes (FOG) Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Considerable Share of the Market

Among the applications, the FOG sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the global INS market. The segmental growth is attributed to the demand for precision navigation. The gyro compassing feature offers precise heading calculations (0.01 degrees secant latitude) without the need to rely on magnetic heading or GPS. This high-precision navigation system has grown more essential in a wide range of sectors. For instance, in September 2023, Boreas launched a new range of FOG INS.The next-generation FOG has ultra-fast gyro compassing, that utilizes only 2 minutes to acquire heading in both stationary and moving settings. The gyro compass enables the device to calculate an extremely accurate heading of 0.01 degrees secant latitude without relying on magnetic heading or GPS.

Regional Outlook

The global inertial navigation system (INS) market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). Among these, North America is anticipated to hold a prominent share of the market across the globe, owing to the growing significance of remotely operated vehicles in commercial and military applications is expected to propel market growth

The North America Region is Expected to Grow at a Significant CAGR in the Global Inertial Navigation System (INS) Market

Among all regions, the Asia-Pacific regions is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. Regional growth is attributed to the rising autonomous electric vehicles across the region. The adoption of electric vehicles, particularly in China, is continuing to increase, resulting in a higher demand for autonomous electric vehicles. The addition of INS technology as a result of vehicles' navigation and control systems anticipates the INS industry to expand. According to the International Energy Agency's (IEA), in April 2023, global electric vehicle outlook for 2022 showed that there were more than 10 million electric cars sold worldwide and the sales are projected to increase by 35% in current year. China is the leader in the global electric car market, with 60% of the sales taking place there. Europe and the US followed with respective increases of 15% and 55%. Policy initiatives such as appropriate for 55 package in the European Union and the Inflation Reduction Act in the US are likely to result in a higher market share for electric vehicles in the coming decade. By 2030, the average share of electric cars in the total sales across China, the Europe and the US is expected to reach around 60%.

Market Players Outlook
