Defense applications still represent half of the market, while commercial aerospace and industrial applications are driving future growth. But MEMS will be a game-changer, leading to the emergence of many new applications requiring high performance, low-cost and small form factor. Growth opportunities in commercial aerospace and industrial markets High-performance gyroscopes and inertial measurement units (IMUs) form a large and dynamic market, traditionally dominated by defense and aerospace applications. But, over the last couple of years, this landscape has slowly changed. Defense and aerospace are still clearly driving the market, but game-changing MEMS innovations are bringing new momentum to the commercial aerospace and industrial sectors. We expect more dynamic growth near term in this global market because of two factors: First, while in the defense and aerospace sectors the US and European markets are best described as conservative and mature, many new programs are being launched in China, Russia, Brazil, and the Middle East. These will provide a high level of demand. Second, low-cost emerging MEMS are fueling growth of the IMU market and opening doors for many new applications. The 2014 market for high-performance gyroscopes, which was estimated at $1.37B, is therefore expected to grow at a 4.4% annual rate to reach $1.69B in 2019. The IMU market is very concentrated; a few big companies are dominant. Honeywell, Northrop Grumman Litef and Sagem are the clear leaders. Meanwhile, the MEMS accelerometer market is growing thanks to cost and size reduction and is still dominated by Honeywell, while other technologies are in decline. In-house accelerometer production is a trend followed by more players in this area, such as iXBlue and UTC Aerospace/AIS Goodrich, enabling better integration and performance. Furthermore, consolidation and cooperation in this industry is continuing. For example, recently, TowerJazz and Physical Logic announced production of high performance MEMS-based accelerometers for inertial navigation applications. In addition, many newcomers are looking to enter the market with low-cost MEMS-based products and different approaches. New players like Innalabs or Tronics, could play a major role in the coming years. If further proof was needed; Thales bought 50% of the shares available in Tronics’ IPO few days ago, betting it will disrupt the market with new applications in the near future. This report describes application evolution and market shares among the different types of devices and technologies in detail.

SCOPE OF THE REPORT
« High-performance » inertial sensors
 This refers to the applications: we take into account all the inertial sensors except the
consumer / mobile and the automotive applications
We take into account industrial, aerospace, defense applications (even industrial applications
are considered as “high-performance” applications, as opposed to consumer ones)
In some cases: « consumer -grade » MEMS gyroscopes (for instance few °/s bias stability)
are used in industrial applications  this is part of the report
To simplify representation, performance has been divided in 4 parts:
The only parameter which is considered is the bias stability
In the 50°/h range: « industrial » grade (but it doesn’t mean that this is an industrial
applications: for instance often missile and bomb guidance requires moderate bias
stability and enter into this category)  ability to get data on angular rates / on
motion
In the 1°/h range: « tactical» grade  possibility to get angles
In the 0.1°/h range: « short term navigation » grade  possibility for short term
navigation (for GPS outage) and azimuth detection
In the 0.01°/h range: « high-end navigation & strategic » grade ability to navigate
Day to day bias stability is considered for navigation grade, this is the most significant
parameter in characterizing a navigation system
In-run bias stability is used for industrial and tactical grade because:
In the past 20 years, MEMS have appeared and expressed performance in terms of
« in-run » parameters
Use of inertial sensors is now frequently used in conjunction with GPS, meaning
that day-to-day bias repeatability in not significant anymore (for tactical / industrial
grade)
Other parameters need to be considered as well: depending on the application parameters
such as angular random walk or scale factor might be more important than just bias
stability
