Inertial systems comprise IMUs in combination with high-performance sensors (gyroscopes, magnetometers, and accelerometers) to provide high-accuracy information about the surrounding environment through relative movement. The powerful combination of IMUs with other onboard sensors produces critical data increasing the reliability of the vehicles and leading to new automation breakthroughs in automotive applications.
- Inertial sensors are being used increasingly in the transportation market. They are being used by automotive companies to increase safety features, improve performance, and reduce the cost of their vehicles. They are being used in ABS, airbag deployment, helping the stability of the vehicle, anti-theft, and many other features.
- The IMUs are used in a multitude of automotive applications as well as for the latest ADAS functioning for autonomous driving. It helps to fill the gap in GPS while the vehicle moves towards the blind spot and when LiDAR functionality struggles in a snowstorm.
- Moreover, owing to the high resonance frequency of over 25 kHz in IMU along with the closed driving and evaluation unit, it provides a high barrier to mechanical interference. The inertial measuring unit (IMU) has gained popularity for the application of contributing to active and passive safety systems such as ESP (Electronic Stability Control Program), airbag control unit, and driver assistance systems like the adaptive cruise control. This enhances the offset performance with an integrated microcontroller.
- On the contrary, companies with strong financials are also focusing on product enhancements and strategic acquisitions to gain more market share and significant control over the supply chain. For instance, Honeywell launched the HGuide i300, which is a high-performance MEMS-based Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) designed to meet the needs of applications across various markets, including transportation, UAVs, and UGVs. With industry-standard communication interfaces and a wide-input voltage range, the HGuide i300 can be easily integrated into a variety of architectures.

Moreover, between 20 and 50 million more people suffer non-fatal injuries, with many incurring a disability as the result of their injury. MEMS accelerometers play an important role in improving the safety features of vehicles.
Asia Pacific to Register a Significant Growth
- The Asia Pacific region is a significant market for Inertial Systems Market in Transportation in the current market scenario. Huge volume production in countries such as China, Japan, and India keeps a constant demand for inertial systems in the region. However, in recent times, sales of the new vehicle in certain parts of the region have been sluggish. The witnessed a decrease in car sales across various economies due to COVID-19 Outbreak.
- For instance, according to the OICA, In 2020, it was estimated that about 32 million passenger cars were sold within the Asia Pacific region, including the Middle East, of which 20.18 million were sold in China. Comparatively, it was also estimated that approximately 35.36 million passenger cars were sold in the Asia Pacific region in 2016.
- Further, Electric vehicles (EVs) are projected to gain popularity with Chinese car owners this year, as new designs with improved performance offset a government cut in price subsidies. According to Roland Berger, China leads the way in terms of industry, producing the largest number of xEVs and battery cells. Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) accounted for the vast majority of the new energy passenger vehicle sales in China. The Chinese government sees EVs as an opportunity for China to compete and become a major car manufacturer.
- Furthermore, the electric vehicle market is gaining momentum in India owing to the ambitious plans and initiatives of the government. Public authorities in India have made several electric vehicle-related policy announcements over the past few years, showing strong commitment, concrete action, and significant ambition for the deployment of electric vehicles in the country.
