The tilt sensor market is projected to reach US$ 402.94 million by 2028 from US$ 268.72 million in 2021; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2021 to 2028.

Tilt sensors have been widely used in many applications, such as instrumentation leveling, oil drilling and structural health monitoring. With the rapid development of the micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technology. MEMS accelerometer-based high-performance tilt sensors are capable of replacing conventional tilt sensors in most application domains, owing to the rapid development of micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technology. MEMS resonant accelerometers (MRAs) with high sensitivity are completely qualified for tilt sensing. MRA chips, on the other hand, must be vacuum packaged and require complicated circuits, making them difficult to miniaturize and sell. For low-cost, high-sensitivity, low power consumption, and downsizing, the suggested MEMS sensor uses simplified fabrication procedures, an area-change-based capacitive displacement transducer, and a capacitance-to-voltage conversion application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Many industrial and commercial applications, such as mobile phone motion sensors and car airbags, have demonstrated this operating concept. low-grade accelerometer cells with accuracies of less than 1 degree are commonly required for these consumer applications. Unlike low-cost consumer-grade inclinometer cells, MEMS sensors in inclinometers have an array of fine electrodes that improve the measurement's resolution and accuracy. The moving mass in the MEMS in inclinometers designed for static or near-static measurements is physically damped to limit the sensitivity of these sensors to frequencies exceeding 29 Hz.

MEMS tilt sensors are low-cost, robust, virtually immune to shock, and exhibit very good long-term stability. Biaxial tilt sensors contain two MES sensors oriented at 90 degrees to one another to allow perpendicular tilt measurement. They are readily adaptable for automated data acquisition, which allows a series of sensors to be continuously monitored for profiling purposes.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Tilt sensor Market


The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic created enormous disruption across industries, such as electronics and semiconductors. Business models are witnessing drastic changes, including the manufacturing units, capital expenditures, R&D, demand, supply-chain, production decisions, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Over the past several months, the COVID-19 outbreak severely challenged the strategic plans of electronics and semiconductors manufacturers. The disruption in the supply of raw materials, temporary closure of manufacturing units, limited funding, and a decline in the demand from the customers adversely impacted the electronics and semiconductor manufacturers.

According to the Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA), the emergence of COVID-19 delayed product releases, disrupted supply chain events, and hindered other industry activities. Several manufacturers temporarily discontinued the manufacturing units due to decreased demand for the products as a result of lockdown measures and limited manufacturing resources. Additionally, the manufacturers of various electronic and semiconductor products, including sensors, are experiencing substantial delay in lead times, which has weakened the supply chain. This have had a negative impact on the tilt sensor market

Several equipment manufacturers across the globe are dependent on the Chinese manufactured sensor systems and tilt sensors owing to cost-effectiveness of the products. During the first quarter of 2020, numerous Chinese manufacturers temporarily closed their manufacturing facilities, thereby, showcasing a decline in supply and demand for electronics and semiconductor products worldwide. This also had a harsh impact on the tilt sensor market.

In the forecast period, more Investments and growth plans in these technologies are projected to continue, which is expected to create demand for tilt sensors in the industry.

Material-Based Market Insights

By material, the tilt sensor market is bifurcated into metal and non-metal. The metal segment led the market with a share of 74.5% in 2020; it is expected to account for 71.6% of the total market in 2028. The Roll Ball Sensor Switch operates like a mechanical switch. When the metal part of the switch is contacted, the switch turns on and off. When motion is recognized in the roll ball switches, a tiny ball in the switch rolls, triggering a contact of metal terminals or a change in a light path. This will determine if the device is conductive or non-conductive. Mercury switches are one of the classic methods of detecting tilt and vibration. Due to restrictions on mercury switches in several nation, the usage of small balls to activate mechanical touch actions has become prevalent.

Technology-Based Market Insights

By technology, the tilt sensor market is segmented into force balance, MEMS, and fluid filled. The force balance segment led the market with a share of 46.0% in 2020;it is expected to gain 44.5% share by 2028. Tiltmeters and inclinometers frequently use force balance sensors, which are gravity-referenced sensors. A flexure-supported torque balance device with a pendulous mass hanging between two position detectors constitutes the sensor. The position of the mass is monitored by the position sensors and causes a current change when the mass tries to move in the direction of tilt (due to the force of gravity). Superior performance, high precision, temperature insensitivity, and a wide measuring range are a few advantages of force balance sensors. Also, the high cost of this type of equipment is a disadvantage.
