For example, according to the International Federation of Robotics Report 2022, Asia emerged as the largest market for industrial robots, with a record installation of 380,911 units in 2021, up 38% compared to the previous year's 276,651 units with an average annual growth rate of 14% in terms of robot installations. Moreover,  according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, in India, the output of commercial vehicles increased by 28% in 2022 compared to 2021.

Inertial Sensor Market Growth Drivers:

Environmental factors restrain the inertial sensor market growth.

Inertial sensors are devices that measure the motion and orientation of an object using accelerometers and gyroscopes. However, these sensors are not immune to external influences that can degrade their performance and accuracy. For example, temperature changes can cause thermal expansion or contraction of the sensor components, resulting in drifts or biases in the measurements. Similarly, vibration can induce mechanical stress or noise on the sensor signals, leading to fluctuations or errors in the data. Due to the degradation of accuracy, it could hinder the inertial sensor industry as buyers might shift to more highly accurate sensors.
