Inertial Systems Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Component (Attitude Heading and Reference Systems, Accelerometers, Magnetometer and Other Components), Platform (Space, Airborne, Ground and Maritime), Technology (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), Mechanical Gyro, Fibre Optics Gyro, Ring Laser Gyro and Other Technologies), Application and By Geography
According tStratistics MRC, the Global Inertial Systems Market is accounted for $12.68 billion in 2022 and is expected treach $19.58 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. An inertial system on land is a self-contained inertial navigation approach that uses accelerometer and gyroscope readings ttrack an object's position and orientation relative ta defined starting point, velocity, and orientation. This system consists of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver, an inertial measurement unit, or other motion-sensing sensors. These components work together tdetermine the exact data of an object. Furthermore, the INS includes a computing unit that analyses and tracks the measured data from inertial sensors.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increased requirement for navigational accuracy
The necessity for exact position information, including altitude and orientation of military equipment, is critical in today's state of warfare. These parameters are required for effective target planning and implementation. Inertial navigation systems use sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes tprovide information about the position, orientation, and speed of a moving body. Because inertial navigation systems can offer exact location information, they are increasingly being used in the defence industry. As a result of the rising weaponry of the military throughout the world and the increased necessity for navigational accuracy, the market for inertial navigation systems has grown.
Restraint:
High cost associated with INS
An inertial navigation system is made up of numerous components and is widely utilised in defence applications such as ships, guided munitions, military, special purpose helicopters, fighter aircraft, submarines, and short, medium, and long-range missiles. As a result, the usage of INS in critical environment conditions necessitates regular maintenance. The cost of procurement, operation, and maintenance is significant with regular maintenance.
Opportunity:
Technological advancements in navigation
This market is driven by technological advancements in navigation, the growing aerospace industry, and the availability of solid and small components. Furthermore, rising technological breakthroughs in MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) and the use of satellite navigation are twother reasons that are contributing tthe market's expansion. Because of the utilisation of MEMs, manufacturers have developed more cost-effective and efficient solutions, resulting in light, compact, and low-cost navigation systems.
Threat:
Error propagation
The operation of stable platform inertial navigation systems is dependent on several mechanical components at multiple joints. These joints must be frictionless tprevent any type of measurement inaccuracy. The performance of these systems is limited by friction error, which develops over time and system wear and tear. Noise, drifts, and friction can contribute tsome computer errors. MEMS inertial sensors, for example, have minimum mechanical parts that weigh only a few micrograms. Because of their small weight, these components may fail trespond tslight changes in orientation. As a result, measurement inaccuracy is generated by friction and drifts that spread over time.
Covid-19 Impact
The pandemic outbreak has resulted in a temporary ban on commercial activity. The disruption in the process leads tlimited availability of system components and a decrease in demand for unmanned vehicles for commercial operation such as testing of oil tanks, pipeline inspection, windmill inspection, and field mapping. Furthermore, during the lockdown, vital production units around the world are shut down. This has an impact on the development of inertial navigation system components, which consequently impedes the market's growth. The coronavirus's negative global consequences are already visible, and they will have a significant impact on the market in 2020.
