SENSOR MARKET ANALYSIS

Sensor MarketSize and Trends

Sensor is a device that detects different types of physical input such as light, heat, motion, moisture, and pressure, among others. This data transmits to an electronic device for further processing. Sensors find applications in various industries such as electronics, IT & telecommunication, automotive, and healthcare. 

Increasing demand for Internet of things (IoT) is one of the major driving factors boosting the growth of global sensor market during forecast period

Increasing utilization of internet of things (IoT) is a major factor expected to boost growth of the global sensors market. Major benefits associated with IoT devices is tracking data in real-time, and providing more accurate data, which in turn leads to better decision making. Owing to these features, advent of IoT technology has led to increased adoption of smart devices such as smart watch, smart grid, smart homes, and smart water networks. For instance, according to the Coherent Market Insights\' analysis, the total unit of smart watches sales in 2016 was US$ 36 million and it increased to US$ 76 million in 2017, globally. These systems are incorporated with different types of sensors that help in integrating several functionalities in a single chip such as seamless transfer and exchange of data. Moreover, sensors can be utilized for various applications including monitoring, security as well as intelligent lighting systems. For instance, according to the Coherent Market Insights’ analysis, the number of total IoT connected devices was around 15.4 billion in 2015 across the globally. Therefore, these devices require sensors which in turn is propelling growth of the global sensors market.

Increasing demand for sensors in smartphones another key factor supporting growth of the global sensors market

Smartphone are incorporated with different types of sensors such as gyroscope, proximity sensors, motion sensors, ambient light sensor, proximity, biometric sensors, and temperature detector that are used to measure motion, orientation, and various environmental conditions. These sensors are capable of providing data with high precision and accuracy, which in turn aids in automatic control. Smartphone manufacturing companies have increased the number of sensors in their devices to enhance the overall user interface experience, which is expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, in September 2017, Apple launched iPhoneX with the FaceID unlock features. The company has incorporated four sensors, which in turn provides accurate facial recognition in any lighting conditions. Hence, these factors are accelerating the global sensors market growth.
