Powering the Digital Revolution with Sensors

From the desk of Muzaffar Sayyed

Sensors are to the digital world what neuro and sensory receptors are to humans. Without sensors, there would be no perception and connection between digital and real realms. Sensor technologies blur the line between digital and real by capturing the essence of what’s real and depicting it through digital media. Advancements in technologies have resulted in the creation of new and advanced sensors that are more capable than entire computing models of the past. The high proliferation of digital technologies in different industry verticals and the increasing use of advanced sensors in almost all digital devices will boost the demand for sensors over the coming years.  

The sensor market is predicted to expand at a high CAGR of 8.1% from 2024 to 2031 and accumulate a market valuation of USD 411.83 billion by the end of the study period, suggests Skyquest. Growing demand for consumer electronics and other connected devices across different industry verticals coupled with increasing digitization are slated to boost sales of sensor in the long run 

 

Automation: Boon to the Sensor World 

 

The growing popularity of the Industry 4.0 trend and the high use of automation in almost all walks of life are estimated to create new opportunities for sensor manufacturers around the world. Automation is not possible without sensors as they are crucial in detecting changes and responding accordingly by converting different input signals into electrical signals for automation and other digital devices.  

The growing use of IoT devices in the automation industry is also projected to create a bright demand outlook for sensors going forward. IoT devices utilize sensors to relay data back to edge computing and cloud computing centers to process it and provide input based on this processed data. Automotive, manufacturing, and healthcare are key industries where the deployment of IoT devices to enable automation is projected to soar high in the long run. The emergence of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) and the growing use of artificial intelligence will also foster innovation in the sensor marketplace. Growing adoption of autonomous vehicles, robotics, and wearable devices will boost the sales of sensors in the long term. 

 

What’s New in the Sensor Market? 

 

  • Wireless Sensors: Gone are the days of making sensors that are connected via wires and cables as the world becomes more wireless and wireless technology advances. Sensor manufacturers are creating sensors that can transmit data wireless and function efficiently without the need for cables and wires.  

  • Smart Sensors: Sensor companies are focusing on the integration of smart technologies and smart features in their products to improve functionality and promote sales. Smart sensors have built-in processing capabilities and can perform multiple tasks, which in turn reduces the need for multiple sensors. Automation and autonomous devices are key applications for smart sensors.  

  • Multi-sensor Fusion: Sensor manufacturers are focusing on integrating multiple sensors into one product package to enhance context awareness and reliability of sensor-based systems and devices. These types of sensor modules will be more effective as they combine data from multiple sensors and facilitate informed decision-making.
