Global Multi-Axis Sensor Market - Segmented by Type (MEMS Gyroscopes, MEMS Accelerometers, Digital Compass), Application (Consumer Electronics, Medical and Healthcare, Industrial), and Region - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2022 - 2030)
The global multi-axis sensor market was valued at USD 0.39 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach a value of USD 1.41 billion by 2023 at a CAGR of 23.52 % over the forecast period (2018 - 2023). The regions considered in the report include North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World.
Multi-axis sensors can quantify forces in six axes by measuring in x, y, z, moments, and directions. These sensors help in determining vector load in terms of directional coordinates. They are preferred to the multiple single-axis sensors as they are smaller, cheaper along with the simpler connections. The advancements in technology enabling effective components at a lighter and smaller size, swift rise of unmanned vehicles in both the defense and civil applications and the increasing applications based on motion sensing are driving the multi-axis sensor market. However, complexity in integrating them within existing systems is restraining their adoption. Nevertheless, a high-performance sensor fusion to improve the accuracy of multi-axis sensor systems in order to enable new emerging and highly-demanding applications, such as indoor navigation and location-based services like IoT, indoor navigation, and location-based services, are expected to offer a significant growth potential to the market.
Increasing Applications Based on Motion Sensing Driving the Market Growth
The integration of multiple sensor outputs bring motion sensing systems to the level of accuracy required for the most demanding applications, such as enhanced gesture recognition, gaming, augmented reality, indoor navigation, and localization-based services. In addressing these requirements, motion sensors are turning into multi-axis sensors. Technological developments have led to a considerable reduction in the size of motion sensors which has played a major role in the growth of the market. The reduction in size and the penetration of MEMS technology into the motion sensor industry has enabled applications of motion sensing in the field of consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace & defense, healthcare, and many more. In industries such as mobile devices, automotive, and healthcare, where there is a growing necessity for smaller form factor for sensors with improved performance, MEMS-based multi-axis sensors have proven to be the perfect solution. Sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers, are used in smartphones, tablets, and notebook computers are generating demand for multi-axis sensors in motion sensing applications.
Incorporation of MEMS Sensors in Consumer Electronics Segment Accounts for a Significant Shar
Benefited by the introduction of micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) into consumer electronic devices, like smartphones and tablets, the worldwide MEMS market has entered the high growth phase. MEMS often encompass accelerometers, gyroscopes, and microphones. While high-end smartphones and tablets continue as primary markets for multi-axis sensors, wearables, gaming, navigation, imaging, and virtual reality headsets are rapidly growing. MEMS sensors are also quickly becoming an expected feature in portable and handheld consumer electronics devices, given the number of ways it can enhance usability. For instance, the ability to sense tilt, rotation, and gestures is becoming a standard feature of gaming peripherals. Portable devices are using MEMS to determine in which direction to display text and images so that users can view them from the right angle. Multi-axis MEMS sensors are hence adopted in consumer electronics to fulfill these requirements.
