The rapid growth of automotive, consumer electronics manufacturing, and other sectors are fueling the growth of the industry. Furthermore, the increasing penetration of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial vehicles) is anticipated to offer huge growth opportunities. According to FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), UAS (Unmanned aircraft systems) in the US accounted for over 1.1 million units as of March 2021. Out of these, commercial UAVs accounted for 372,157 units, and recreational drones accounted for 496,647 units.
The onset of the COVID-19 reflects the downfall of the industry growth owing to the unprecedented restrictions on movement along with the disruptions in personal and business activities. The halt in the production of components and devices coupled with the issues in obtaining raw materials is hindering the growth of the industry.
The disruption in the supply chain, lockdown measures, and limited consumer and corporate spending is anticipated to hamper the industry growth. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is far-reaching, having negative effects on communities, individuals, and societies globally. The negative impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on major industries such as automotive and others are anticipated to hinder the growth of the industry. However, the market is estimated to recover at a fast growth rate post-COVID-19.

Growth Drivers
The increasing demand for better vehicle safety is anticipated to drive the growth of the industry globally. They enable the smooth functioning of vehicles, electronics machines, and others. Furthermore, the introduction of innovative products that incorporate better safety features & algorithmic performance by major industry players is anticipated to boost the growth of the industry. For instance, in June 2019, Allergo Microsystems, one of the leading manufacturers of IC (Integrated Circuits), introduced A19250 & A19350 wheel speed IC, featuring new GMR technology and also covers stringent direction protocols set by government bodies.
These GMR-based IC are offered in the compact single-in-line package along with an integrated EMC protection capacitor. These are designed for use in combination with magnet encoder rings in order to get direction information and to measure velocity. Furthermore, in November 2021, a team of researchers at LPU announced the development of IoT based smart safety system for school buses.
This system includes a speed sensor market to ensure the safety of children by measuring the speed, keeping track of the direction information of the wheel, and communicating this sensory data to the transmission unit. These developments in the industry are anticipated to boost market growth.
The market is primarily segmented on the basis of type, product, application, technology, and region.
