Six-axis Inertial Sensor Market

Six-axis Inertial Sensor Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2021-2031

Six-axis Inertial Sensor Market: Introduction

Six axis inertial sensor measures the changes in orientation that take place around a reference axis. This provides information that allows a device to measure its orientation, maintain it, or change it. Six axis inertial sensor is, therefore, a sensor with 6 degrees of freedom, since it has three axes to measure the rate of turn and another three axes to measure the acceleration. In other words, it combines the 3 Cartesian coordinate axis accelerometer with a sensor that takes gyroscopic measurements along these three axes pitch, roll and yaw. It is a combination of acceleration sensor and gyroscope.
Thus, it enables the measurement of angular rate and acceleration in three axes and provides information regarding the tilt, motion, shock, and vibration in mobile phones, handheld devices, computer peripherals, HMI, wearables, and remotes and game controllers.

Rising Demand in Consumer Electronics

Six axis inertial sensors are gaining popularity in the recent trend like navigation, imaging, and augmented reality. It is widely used in consumer electronics such as mobile phones, health trackers, wearables, and VR systems.
Its very ability to drive functions, such as navigation, activity monitoring, step counting, navigation, vibration measurement, active damping, six directional tracking, flat detection, tap sensing, menu scrolling, tilt detection, and image stabilization, is driving the six-axis inertial sensor market

Asia Pacific to Hold Prominent Share of Market

Asia Pacific is projected to dominate the global six-axis inertial sensor market during the forecast years, owing to the presence of a large consumer electronics manufacturing industry and expansion of the automotive industry in the region
Demand for consumer electronics is significantly high in developing countries in Asia Pacific, as major application for the six-axis inertial sensor is in consumer electronics. It is suitable for applications such as industrial IoT systems, robots, drones, platform stabilizers, and telematics. Its accelerometer bandwidth up to 3 kHz also enables use in vibration-monitoring and compensation systems.
Robots, smart agriculture, autonomous cars, and drones, which require highly accurate motion in a small space are likely to offer significant opportunities for the six-axis inertial sensor market
