The motion sensor market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the size of the motion sensor market has seen significant expansion. The value of the market, which stands at $7.38 billion in 2024, is projected to rise to $8.17 billion in 2025. This growth represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%.
Factors such as industrial automation, consumer electronics, energy efficiency, healthcare and wellness, and smart home technology have largely contributed to the historic growth.
The motion sensor market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of the motion sensor is predicted to expand rapidly over the coming years, reaching a value of $12.21 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%.
Factors such as the advent of IoT and smart cities, the healthcare industry's response to an aging population, contactless solutions, consumer electronics and wearable technology all contribute to this projected growth. Additionally, environmental monitoring and conservation are significant components. Key trends for this period include the miniaturization and integration of technology, advances in sensing technologies, applications focusing on health and wellness, the impact on automotive safety and autonomous vehicles, and the use of data in retail analytics and marketing.
The growth of the motion sensor market is likely to be spurred by the escalating demand for smartphones. The definition of smartphones extends beyond traditional mobile phones, blending essential cell phone features with the computational power of a computer. The surge in demand for these devices can be attributed to the proliferation of digital services, apps, mobile entertainment, and banking solutions. Motion sensors amplify the usefulness and functionality of smartphones by facilitating intuitive interface interactions, engaging experiences, as well as unique features that utilise the gadget's motion and orientation abilities. For instance, Uswitch Limited, a financial conduct authority based in the UK, reported in February 2023 that the number of smartphones in the UK had risen by 3.8% (approximately 2.6 million) from 2022, totalling 71.8 million devices. The data predicts that by 2025, 68.3 million people will reside in the UK, with 95% (around 65 million individuals) predicted to possess smartphones. Hence, the escalating demand for smartphones fuels the growth of the motion sensor market.

In the motion sensor industry, leading firms are creating highly sophisticated products such as the BMI323 motion sensor to provide clients with innovative features that give them a market advantage. The BMI323 motion sensor is a general-purpose, low-power inertia measurement unit (IMU) that offers accurate acceleration and angular pace recording as well as smart integrated functions instigated by movement. To illustrate, Bosch Sensortec GmbH, a motion sensor producer based in Germany, introduced the BMI323 motion sensor in October 2022. The device is distinguished by its simplicity and excellent cost-benefit ratio, enabling new uses in Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). The product is adaptable to a variety of consumer goods including toys, video game controllers, remote controls, wearable technology, health trackers, smartwatches, tablets, and laptops. These comprehensive characteristics simplify development for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and the inclusion of plug-and-play step counter software eliminates the requirement for specialized algorithm development.
