Ring Laser Gyroscope

Ring laser gyroscopes are small, lightweight, radiation-tolerant, and compact devices placed within aircraft, spaceships, marine systems, missiles, etc. These devices help the vehicles for course correction in air and space with the help of a narrowbody light waveform traveling a path, created by using mirrors. Some of the key applications of ring laser gyroscopes are in autonomous systems, autonomous agriculture, aerospace, defense, marine, subsea, etc.

The Global Ring Laser Gyroscope market was valued at USD 812.3 million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 3.21% during the forecast period (2024-2032). One of the key factors that have contributed to the growth of the laser ring gyroscope market is the high demand for commercial and military aircraft. Considering the rising demand for commercial aircraft especially in the emerging regions of Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, etc., the demand for new commercial jets by the leading airlines has extensively grown. This increased demand for commercial aviation in the regions has promoted the production of aircraft further leading to the demand of ring laser gyroscope as it is one of the crucial instruments in the cockpit assisting in the directional movement of the aircraft. For instance, in 2023, Interglobe Aviation (Indigo) announced to purchase of 500 Airbus A320 aircraft with a total cost of USD 55 billion.

In another instance, Air India another airline from India announced its finalization of the order of 470 aircraft including 250 airplanes from Airbus and 220 from Boeing. The total order comprises 400 narrowbody and 70 widebody jets. The total cost of the order is estimated to be around USD 70 billion. With the high purchase of commercial jets from the developing regions the demand for ring laser gyroscopes from the OEMs would significantly rise. Additionally, the rising fleet of commercial aircraft in the region would also lead to the increased demand for ring laser gyroscopes for aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities.

The demand for ring laser gyroscopes would also be assisted by the emerging aerospace industries in the respective regions as the focus on space launches, satellite launches, and space missions is rising. Considering the factors the Global Ring Laser Gyroscope market is anticipated to rise during 2024-2032.
