The global industrial sensors market size is expected to reach $35.47 billion by 2027 from $18.81 billion in 2019, growing at a CAGR of 9.77% from 2020 to 2027. Industrial sensor is a device that detects events or changes in the environment and subsequently provides corresponding output. These sensors play a vital role in factory automation and Industry 4.0. Motion sensors, environmental sensors, and vibration sensors are used to monitor the condition of equipment, from linear or angular positioning, tilt sensing, leveling, and shock or fall detection.
They sense physical input such as light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure, or any other entity, and respond by producing an output on a display or transmit the information in electronic form for further processing.
These define major applications in water level monitoring systems, environmental monitoring, energy saving in artificial lighting, and equipment fault diagnostics.
A wide variety of sensors are available for practically any industrial needs. For mission-critical industrial applications, industrial sensors can help to improve processes and offer unmatched asset protection. Sensing technology and its various applications are constantly evolving in line with advancements in technology and business needs. Sensors are available to detect a wide variety of real-world properties–from distance to heat to pressure.
In addition, industrial sensors are used to measure physical, chemical, or biological quantities with accuracy and repeatability. Their reliability has resulted in widespread adoption and use across various industries ranging from healthcare to infrastructure to manufacturing. Furthermore, infrastructure systems such as smart grid, smart homes, smart water networks, and intelligent transportation connect through the concept of Internet of Things (IoT), where there is extensive use of sensors.
