Global Inertial Navigation System (INS) Market Growth by Region 2023-2030

global inertial navigation system (ins) market growth by region

The North America Region is Expected to Grow at a Significant CAGR in the Global Inertial Navigation System (INS) Market

Among all regions, the Asia-Pacific regions is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. Regional growth is attributed to the rising autonomous electric vehicles across the region. The adoption of electric vehicles, particularly in China, is continuing to increase, resulting in a higher demand for autonomous electric vehicles. The addition of INS technology as a result of vehicles' navigation and control systems anticipates the INS industry to expand. According to the International Energy Agency's (IEA), in April 2023, global electric vehicle outlook for 2022 showed that there were more than 10 million electric cars sold worldwide and the sales are projected to increase by 35% in current year. China is the leader in the global electric car market, with 60% of the sales taking place there. Europe and the US followed with respective increases of 15% and 55%. Policy initiatives such as appropriate for 55 package in the European Union and the Inflation Reduction Act in the US are likely to result in a higher market share for electric vehicles in the coming decade. By 2030, the average share of electric cars in the total sales across China, the Europe and the US is expected to reach around 60%.
