The global inertial navigation system market size stood at USD 12.71 billion in 2024. The market is predicted to rise from USD 13.65 billion in 2025 to USD 24.28 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2025 to 2032.

Fortune Business Insights™ presents this information in its report titled, “Inertial Navigation System Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis & Russia-Ukraine War Impact, By Component (Accelerometers, Gyroscopes, and Others), By Technology (Mechanical Gyro, Ring Laser Gyro, Fiber Optics Gyro, MEMS, and Others), By Platform (Airborne, Ground, Maritime, and Space), By End-User (Commercial and Military), and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032”.  

Navigation systems help determine locations concerning a reference point or specific coordinates. An Inertial Navigation System (INS) contains at least three gyroscopes and accelerometers, which generate navigation data. Inertial navigation systems play a vital role in identifying vehicles' and equipment's speed, position, and attitude. The rapid adoption of miniaturized accelerometers and gyroscope sensors is fueling market expansion.

Constant Battles Between Russia-Ukraine War Paved the Way for Advanced Navigation System Producers

The prolonged Russia-Ukraine War has accelerated the need for advanced navigation solutions and precision mapping. Military forces are increasingly investing in high-tech aerial navigation, space-based tracking systems for enemy detection, and the Ship Inertial Navigation System (SINS), assisting market expansion.

Introduction of Innovative Products by Leading Players to Boost Market Revenue

In January 2025, ANELLO Photonics, renowned for its Silicon Photonic Optical Gyroscope (SiPhOG) technology and expertise in high-precision inertial navigation, unveiled the ANELLO Maritime INS. Designed specifically for maritime applications, this state-of-the-art system represents a major advancement in navigation for marine operations in environments where GPS signals are weak or unavailable.

Increasing Requirement for Precise Navigation Solutions to Propel Market Growth

Increased demand for innovative robotic vehicles powered by remote operation and sensor-driven technologies is attributed to the rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). These advancements are revolutionizing the development of next-generation unmanned aerial vehicles, which integrate sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, to track position, movement, and speed. The surging firepower of militaries and the rising need for navigational precision are propelling the inertial navigation system market growth.

Conversely, the substantial costs of inertial navigation systems are hindering market growth.
