2024 Instrumentation & Sensors Research Review

The global market for temperature sensors is expected to grow from $7.3 billion in 2023 to $9.0 billion by the end of 2028, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% from 2023 through 2028. The global market for sensors is estimated to increase from $179.7 billion in 2023 to reach $300.5 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 8.9% from 2024 through 2029. The global market for environmental sensing and monitoring technologies is estimated to increase from $31.3 billion in 2024 to reach $41.4 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2024 through 2029.

Instrumentation and Sensors are essential elements for most technology products being built today. Their application areas cover products from simple switches and temperature-sensing devices as part of the most basic of home appliances to sophisticated manufacturing equipment and factory automation systems. Micro-technology has revolutionized the electronics industry, and miniaturization has become a standard part of any system. Industrial requirements have increased, indicating room for growth in sensor usage.

The need for instrumentation and sensors is increasing in various applications. Therefore, it is imperative to produce high-quality sensors, and as manufacturer rivalry grows, sensor prices are decreasing faster than before. The sensors employed in automation will also be determined by how well physical characteristics are collected as data. Therefore, even though the cost aspect grows significantly, the dependability aspect would be given priority when it comes to sensors. Furthermore, an accurate dataset produced by the sensors will be necessary to develop AI technologies. Future sensors will be more intelligent and precise owing to the training of AI models on this data for categorization and regression issues.
