Market Growth Factors

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and introduction of Industry 4.0 to support the market growth

Industry 4.0 has recently seen tremendous growth in popularity. At the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), in June 2017, UNIDO and ITU jointly organized a special session on SDG9 as part of the joint statement. An expert panel on 'Preparing for the Fourth Industrial Revolution'was hosted by UNIDO as a part of the special session. The workshop's primary focus was on handling the issues surrounding the adoption of Industry 4.0 to put in place a cohesive plan that would result in preparation. Thus, the development of the industrial sensors market is anticipated to be boosted by introducing Industry 4.0 and IIoT.

Strict standards for the automotive sector

Government regulations significantly influence the market growth, particularly in the automobile industry. The US has made the installation of tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) in all cars required under the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act. When the tires are underinflated, TPMS sensors analyze tire air pressure and temperature and inform drivers within 20 minutes. The market is driven by the US government's requirement that all commercial vehicles have side airbags and passenger airbags equipped with pressure sensors. All of this is expected to ultimately boost the market expansion.

Market Restraining Factors

Pricing concerns

While the shipping of these sensors has expanded due to their broad use in automated intelligent controls, price erosion has considerably curbed sales growth. This is partly due to the intense rivalry between the growing number of pressure sensor producers, which is spurring quick innovation in creating new portable, consumer, and Internet of Things applications. Many businesses are focusing their R&D efforts on developing affordable pressure sensors such as MEMS-based pressure sensors, IO-link compatible sensors, or wireless sensors. As a result, it is predicted that demand for pressure sensors will be limited in the near term, which will impede market expansion.
