The attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) market is projected to grow from USD 537.5 Million in 2016 to USD 723.8 Million by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.08% during the forecast period. Increased growth in aircraft deliveries and increasing demand for AHRS used in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) are the key factors expected to drive the growth of the attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) market. The market has been segmented based on type, component, end-use, and region.

Based on type, the attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) market has been segmented into conventional attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS), air data attitude and heading reference systems (ADAHRS), and GPS-aided attitude and heading reference systems. The conventional AHRS segment is estimated to dominate the market in 2016, owing to the high penetration of conventional AHRS in aircraft and ships.

Based on component, the market has been segmented into inertial sensing unit, magnetic sensing unit, and digital processing unit. The inertial sensing unit segment is estimated to be the largest segment of the market, as the unit is an integral part of attitude and heading reference system and is used to calculate the attitude of the vehicle.

The end-use segment of the attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) market includes commercial aviation, military aviation, marine and unmanned vehicle. The civil aviation segment is expected to lead the market, as the civil aviation industry across the globe has been witnessing strong growth in recent years, driven by factors such as increase in air travel, rise in disposable income, and growth in international tourism, among others.

The geographical analysis of the attitude and heading reference systems market includes regions, such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and rest of the world. North America is estimated to lead the global attitude and heading reference systems market in 2016, owing to the presence of major aircraft and UAV manufacturers, such as Boeing (U.S.), Bombardier (Canada), Lockheed Martin (U.S.), Bell Helicopter (U.S.), and Sikorsky Aircraft (U.S.) in the region.

Decrease in defense budget of several developed nations may restrain the growth of the attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) market, as the penetration of AHRS in defense application such as aircraft, unmanned vehicles, ships, and aircraft carriers is high. Products offered by various companies operating in the attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) market have been listed in this report. Major players in the attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) market include Honeywell International, Inc. (U.S.), Safran S.A. (France), Rockwell Collins, Inc. (U.S.), Northrop Grumman (U.S.), Moog, Inc. (U.S.), Meggitt Plc (U.K.), VectorNav Technologies, LLC (U.S.), Sparton Navigation and Exploration, LLC (U.S.), Lord MicroStrain (U.S.), iXBLUE, Inc. (France), and MEMSIC, Inc. (U.S.), among others.
