Force Sensor Market Outlook – 2027
The global force sensor market size was valued at $2.16 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $3.30 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 5.30% from 2020 to 2027. Force sensor is a device that is used to estimate the amount of force applied to an object. Basically, the applied force is determined by finding the amount of variation in the resistance values of force sensing resistors.
The overall working principle of force sensors is that they react to the applied force & change the value into a quantifiable figure. There are different kinds of force sensors available in the market dependent on different detecting components. The majority of force sensors are designed by utilizing force-sensing resistors. These sensors comprise electrodes & sensing film.
Force sensors are usually used to determine the force experienced by vehicle parts, such as dampers & axle beams, to avoid fatigue failure, particularly in heavy automotive vehicles, such as mining vehicles & construction trucks, as unexpected stress levels or overloading may lead to significant maintenance costs. They are also widely used in locomotive.
The global force sensor market share is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Factors, such as low manufacturing cost, technological advancement, increase in demand for industrial robots, development of medical devices with force sensing technology, and development & innovations in the industrial sector, encourage the force sensor market growth. However, uncertainty in demand for force sensor from the end-user industry is a major restraint to the global force sensor industry. In addition, rising production of vehicles and growing automotive sales globally are expected to create lucrative force sensor market opportunity.
