Segmental Outlook 

The global multi-axis sensor market is segmented on the type, and application. Based on the type, the market is sub-segmented into MEMS gyroscopes, MEMS accelerometers, digital compass, motion sensor combos, and others (force and tactile sensors, and tilt sensors). Furthermore, on the basis of end-user, the market is sub-segmented into consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace and defense, medical and healthcare, industrial and manufacturing, and others (navigation and geolocation, and marine and underwater applications). The MEMS accelerometers subcategory is expected to capture a significant portion of the market share within the type segment. The growth can be attributed to the growing demand for efficiency in healthcare. The globally healthcare sector's growing reliance on precision instruments and gadgets drives up demand for advanced sensors such as the ADXL367. The requirement for precise mobility data in vital sign monitoring is consistent with the broader trend of improving patient care through technology. in May 2022, Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) has released a three-axis MEMS accelerometer designed for a wide range of healthcare and industrial applications, including vital signs monitoring, hearing aids, and motion-enabled metering devices. The ADXL367 accelerometer enhances power consumption, noise performance, and field time, enhancing battery life and reducing maintenance frequency and cost.

The MEMS Gyroscopes Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Considerable Share of the global Multi-axis Sensor Market

Among the type, the MEMS gyroscopes sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the global multi-axis sensor market. The segmental growth is attributed to the growing demand for technological advancements in MEMS gyroscope. Continuous technical developments in MEMS gyroscope technology propel innovation in the globally multi-axis sensor market. The development of temperature-resistant and lightweight sensors demonstrates the industry's commitment to pushing technological frontier areas. For instance, in November 2022, TDK Corp. launched the Smart Automotive line of ASIL and non-ASIL motion sensors and the availability of InvenSense IAM-20380HT high temperature automotive monolithic 3-axis Motion Tracking sensor platform solution for non-safety automotive applications, that includes the IAM-20380HT 3-axis MEMS gyroscope and the DK-20380HT developer kit. Furthermore, IAM-20380HT is a lightweight, temperature-resistant gyroscope suitable for various automotive non-safety applications, including navigation, vehicle tracking, telematics, door control, and vision systems.

Regional Outlook

The global multi-axis sensor market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). Among these, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to hold a prominent share of the market across the globe, owing to the rapidly expanding car sector and urbanization.

The Global Multi-axis Sensor Market Growth by Region 2024-2031

The North America Region is Expected to Grow at a Significant CAGR in the global Multi-axis Sensor Market

Among all regions, the North America regions is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. Regional growth is attributed to the increasing demand for industrial internet of things (IIoT) across the region. The MEMS sensors are the basis of the IIoT, enabling data-driven decision-making in businesses. Pressure, temperature, and vibration sensors monitor machinery health, optimize operations, and increase overall industrial efficiency. According to MDPI, in March 2023, the current market size value of MEMS in 2022 is 14.32 billion USD, and it is projected to reach 75 billion USD by 2032, with a global growth rate of 18.01% from 2022-2032. Advancements in new technology, such as sensor fusion, big data, AI, and the industrial internet of things, have created opportunities for new application areas, including smart homes, connected cars, and autonomous vehicles. MEMS components encompass microelectronics, microactuators, microsensors, and microstructures, all integrated into a single chip, with microsensors detecting physical parameters and microelectronics processing the collected information. The calibration and packaging processes of MEMS components are complex due to their integration with application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), that serve as electrical interfaces for analog and digital information transmission. However, it is important to note that this paper solely focuses on MEMS-based sensors.
