Sensors are devices that detect and respond to some type of input from the physical environment. The main technologies used in sensors include electronics, optics, electromagnetism, etc. Sensors detect physical properties like temperature, pressure, moisture, motion, etc., and convert them into electrical signals for transmission and display or for initiating other automatic controls. Sensors have wide applications in consumer electronics, wireless technologies, healthcare, automation, security surveillance, safety systems and many more. The global growth in smart home, smart cities and industrial automation initiatives has augmented the demand for various types of sensors.
The global Sensor Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 226.91 billion in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.0% over the forecast period 2024-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Emergence of IoT and connected devices presents growth opportunity for various types of sensors markets. IoT involves embedding electronics and sensors in ordinary objects to connect them to a network, often the internet.
