SMART SENSORS MARKET ANALYSIS

Regional Analysis

Global Smart Sensors Market: Regional Insights

On the basis of regions, the global smart sensors market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, and Africa. North America accounted for the largest share in the global smart sensors market in 2016. The U.S. is the major growth engine in North America. This is owing to increasing initiatives from the U.S. government towards improvement of transportation facilities and implementation of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). For instance, the America's Surface Transportation Act or 'FAST Act' was passed in 2015, in order to solve congestion issues, enhance transportation within the country, improve working efficiencies in transportation systems and commercial vehicles, and minimize vehicle emissions. Thus, increasing government support for improving transportation facilities has led to increasing demand for electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are incorporated with sensors for performing various functions. Therefore, as the sales of electric vehicle increases, it will lead to increasing demand for sensors. Hence, this factor helps in propelling growth of the sensors in this particular region

Asia Pacific market is expected to exhibit highest CAGR over the forecast period and this is due to increasing deployment of smart city and smart infrastructure projects in this region. China, Japan, India, and South Korea are the major growth engines in the region. For instance, in 2015, Government of India launched '100 Smart Cities Mission', which will require smart sensors for various applications such as roads, vehicles, and others.
