Industrial sensors are making news!
03.12.2018
With the emergence of smart factories, demand for industrial robots in manufacturing processes and automation in automobiles, the market for global industrial sensors has rapidly increased in developing countries within the APAC (Asia-Pacific) region.
The global industrial sensors market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.87 % during the period 2018 -2022, states a report by the market research company Technavio. Sensors play a decisive role within production processes as it enables industry leaders to detect faults and even track manufacturing operations. Diverse segments such as pneumatics, compressors, factory automation, hydraulics, and many others make use of sensors in their production lines.
Demand drivers for global industrial sensors market
On a global scale, the region with the most demand for industrial sensors in recent times along with an impressive growth rate is Asia-Pacific. According to analytical firm Research and Markets, the Asia-Pacific region is responsible for 40 % of the total market share in 2017. The rise of industrial robots in the manufacturing sector, hike in the number of developing economies, strict regulatory standards and surge in the demand for automotive safety systems are the core factors behind this growing trend.
Supporting this prediction, Technavio in its latest report has also revealed that APAC will be the highest revenue contributing region in the global industrial sensors market with a share of nearly 41 % by 2020. The report also states that one of the primary growth drivers for this market is the opportunities in IoT. This holds true as numerous companies in this region are already making their foray into smart factories or more aptly called factories of the future.
n addition to this, automation in automobiles has also led to the development of automotive sensors such as MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensors, wireless sensors and radar sensors. The sensors are used in automotive applications including emission control, battery control and occupant detection. All the leading automotive companies have incorporated most of these sensors in their respective range of automobiles.
Industrial sensors at SPS IPC Drives 2018
Some of the major players dealing in the global industrial sensor space are Siemens, Robert Bosch, Honeywell, Texas Instruments, etc. If you want to catch all the leading companies across the globe at one single venue then the SPS IPC Drives exhibition is the place to be.
