The growth in the historic period can be attributed to usage of pressure sensors in IoT systems, an increase in the use of pressure sensors in the automotive industry and increasing military spending.

The pressure sensor market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.46 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a rise in demand for pressure sensors in consumer electronics, growing trend towards industrial automation and IoT in developing nations and rising adoption of pressure sensors in industrial activities. Major trends in the forecast period include developments in pressure sensors, miniature front-flush pressure sensors, strategic partnerships, barometric pressure sensors, technological advancements and product innovation.

The growth of the pressure sensor market is anticipated to be propelled by the increasing adoption of pressure sensors in various industrial applications. These sensors find application in automation and industry, measuring variables such as speed, fluid/gas flow, water level, and altitude in systems. For example, Schott, a German-based company specializing in the manufacture of glass and glass components, reports an annual production of approximately 2 billion pressure sensors, with an expected annual increase of 7%. This surge in the use of pressure sensors in industrial settings is a key factor driving the expansion of the pressure sensor market.

The growth of the pressure sensor market has been driven by increasing military spending. Pressure sensors are essential in the production of drones and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), which the military utilizes for border defense and offensive operations as needed. For example, in 2022, European defense spending reached a record €240 billion, reflecting a 6% increase from the previous year and marking the eighth consecutive year of growth, according to the European Defense Agency, a Belgium-based intergovernmental organization of the European Union. Among the 27 EU Member States, 20 increased their defense budgets, with six countries raising their expenditures by more than 10%. This rise in military spending has led to heightened demand for drones and UAVs, subsequently boosting the pressure sensor market.

Technological advancements represent a significant trend gaining traction in the pressure sensor market. For instance, in February 2024, Tekscan, a US-based manufacturer of pressure mapping systems, introduced a pressure mapping sensor specifically engineered to tackle the challenges of measuring interface pressure in battery research and development (R&D) and manufacturing. This innovative system aims to provide actionable insights that can identify potential design issues in batteries, ultimately leading to improved, more reliable, and safer energy storage solutions.

Leading companies in the pressure sensors market are creating innovative products utilizing advanced technologies, such as high-performance barrier coating technology, to improve sensor durability and accuracy in challenging environments. This technology safeguards sensitive components of pressure sensors from harsh environmental factors, including extreme temperatures, moisture, and chemicals, thereby enhancing durability and measurement precision. For example, in September 2023, Baker Hughes, an India-based oil and natural gas company, launched its Druck hydrogen-rated pressure sensors, designed to advance pressure measurement technology specifically for hydrogen applications. These sensors incorporate high-performance barrier coating technology, which protects sensor elements from the harmful effects of prolonged hydrogen exposure, ensuring a minimum lifespan of five years across various pressure ranges, making them suitable for demanding conditions.

In November 2023, Millar Inc., a US-based medical equipment manufacturer, acquired Sentron for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to enhance Millar's capabilities in the MEMS pressure sensor sector, enabling a broader range of solutions in medical technology. Sentron's advanced manufacturing capabilities and technologies will complement Millar's existing products, positioning the combined entity as a comprehensive provider of sensor solutions. Sentron is a US-based company specializing in the development and manufacturing of various sensors, including MEMS pressure sensors.

A pressure sensor is a device comprising a pressure-sensitive element designed to ascertain the actual pressure applied to the sensor, employing diverse working principles and additional components to convert this information into an output signal. Its primary function is to measure the pressure of gases or liquids.

The principal categories of pressure sensors encompass absolute pressure sensors, gauge pressure sensors, differential pressure sensors, and others. An absolute pressure sensor employs absolute zero as its reference pressure, measured in relation to a full vacuum. Irrespective of fluctuations in ambient or process temperature, absolute pressure remains precise and accurate, making it suitable for testing against a consistent baseline. Various technologies employed in pressure sensors include piezoresistive, capacitive, resonant solid-state, electromagnetic, optical, piezoelectric, and others. Pressure sensors are available in wired or wireless formats, offering output in either analog or digital. These sensors find application in diverse industries such as automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, healthcare, oil and gas, aerospace and defense, among others.
