Shock Sensor Market Outlook - 2027
Shock sensor or impact monitor is a shock overload device that indicates whether a shock or impact has occurred and triggers the alarm. Shock sensors are primarily deployed in the automotive sector to detect impact of enforced entry on body of vehicles as they are easily-installable, user-friendly, do not need external power, and offers efficient response at mid-range of higher frequencies. These sensors are used in smart homes where alarm is triggered by any forced entry or slight tap and the alarm output can be monitored by smartphone or laptop.
In addition, these sensors are used in oil and gas industry to measure pressure and vibration changes in damaged pipelines, wells as they analyze frequency, displacement, and acceleration. Shock sensors can withstand high temperature in harsh environment due to rugged nature and this reduces machine breakdown, decreases downtime in the industrial sector. Successive utilization of these low-cost, compact sensors, and development of smart city projects implies that the shock sensor market share would undergo significantly high growth in coming years.
Covid-19 Impact Analysis:
- The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is unsettling for people as well as organizations and business firms worldwide. With the shutdown of manufacturing operations and travel and transportation ban worldwide, the demand for shock sensors has also plunged. The exact measure of the scale and scope of the challenge cannot be anticipated yet.
- Shutdown globally has led to manufacturing halt of vehicles including aircraft that has caused subsequent impact on overall market scenario of shock sensors considerably. There is a shutdown in goods and manufacturing, automobile as well as the oil & gas industry resulting in dip in the shock sensor market revenue.
- Unavailability of raw materials lead to price hike of shock sensors after lockdown restrictions are lifted. This is anticipated to be a negative impact on the already disrupted demand-supply chain of the shock sensor market.
Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers, and Impact Analysis
Increase in frequent use of shock sensors in goods and manufacturing plants transportation to protect shipped products from damage during transit plays a significant role in driving the shock sensor market growth. Shock sensors are installed as glass-break sensors in private and business structures, burglar alarms, vehicles to trigger real-time alert in case of constrained section as well as in bicyclist’s helmets as crash detection component to detect a crash and call for assistance. However, lack of efficiency in stringent environment, variability in shock detection output during multiple lesser shocks followed by intense competition due to presence of many local manufacturers tend to hamper the shock sensor market growth.
On the other hand, shock sensors are used to measure torque and vibration in braking and actuation systems and flight controls, which helps to curb terrorist activities and external aggression thereby boosting the shock sensor market revenue. Rise in product innovation and stringent government regulation with regards to safety and security of personnel in hazardous environment is anticipated to pave new avenues to shock sensor industry.
New product launches to flourish the market
Leading shock sensor market players offer necessary steps to improve quality, precision, and performance of shock sensors, hence adding more advanced features and security functions.
In May 2020, Climax Technology Co. Ltd., a wireless alarm system manufacturer, launched the SVGS Series of shock, vibration and glass break sensor, namely, SVGS-3-F1, SVGS-3, SVGS-5-F1, SVGS-5 with battery-life of around 4-5yrs. The operating temperature and humidity of this series of sensors are -100C to 450C and 85%, respectively. The lightweight wireless shock sensor easily-installable on glass window, door, roof or safety box and capable of detecting a single major shock event or accumulated consecutive minor shock attacks. SVGS F1 model sensors enhance the speed of signal transmission and deliver reliable, extensive communication range thereby allowing users to stay in touch and in control. When the glass is tampered the SVGS Series activates a siren, turns on lights, music or start video recordings as linked to the security or smart home system. The SVGS Series is unobtrusive in design and has three adjustable sensitivity threshold levels- low, medium, high to suit different situations and locations. The SVGS-5 model is bidirectional in nature that allows to set configurations to be easily adjusted through security gateways or control panel. The SVGS Series solution is ideal for residential and commercial security usage.
Surge in usage in Automotive and Industrial applications
Shock sensor is installed in the center of vehicles to detect an impact to the body of vehicle such as someone hitting a door panel. This protects cars from getting scratched or dented and acts as a warning to potential thief that an alarm is fitted.
In April 2020, MTS Systems Corp., leading supplier of magnetostrictive sensor technology, launched Temposonics R series V sensors with Synchronous Serial Interface that offers integral cable options suitable for harsh environment with protection of IP68 and robustness to shock and vibration. Temposonics R-Series V is available in rod style as well as profile style and supports EtherCAT, Profinet and Powerlink outputs. The integral cable options for SSI include a standard PVC jacket, oil-resistant Polyurethane (PUR), PUR jacket with high-performance shielding or Teflon jacket. Temposonics R-Series V SSI sensors are robust, reliable with operating temperature range from -40° to +85 °C. The shock resistance and vibration have been increased to 150 g and 30 g, respectively. The SSI interface with 0.1 micron resolution provides synchronous measurement to ensure consistent timing for velocity calculations. The R Series V sensors offer information such as operating hours, distance travelled and number of actuator cycles.
