Sensor Market Driver

Increased Demand for Smart Sensors in IoT Devices Driving Market Growth

• The worldwide sensor market growth is projected to be driven by higher demand for smart sensors in IoT-enabled devices as well as consumer electronics. The sensors have been propelled by the Internet of Things to unprecedented levels. The IoT ecosystem can be autonomous with the help of a variety of sensors which fetch information and make gadgets intelligent. Devices share information and increase their effectiveness and functionality by combining a set of sensors and a communication network. IoT devices are employed throughout all industries and consumer markets, with the consumer segment accounting for a major share of all IoT-connected devices in 2023.  

Improvements in Sensor Technology for the Healthcare Sector

• As individuals aspire for longevity and enhanced quality of life, in-home patient treatments are increasingly prevalent. Healthcare devices are now more affordable, compact, technologically advanced and user-friendly People are moving to use smart medical services at home rather than in hospitals As a result, smart medical devices have been improved The devices have different sensors that collect important information for fast treatment of diseases caused by infections This ensures that there is accuracy in treatment as well as cost effectiveness in use of such sensors which may raise demand for innovations in sensing technologies  

Restraint  

High Costs and Maintenance of Smart Sensors Hindering Industry Growth 

• The high installation and maintenance costs of smart sensors are anticipated to stymie industry expansion. Smart sensor implementation has been limited due to the high cost of the sensors due to their expensive components and batteries. Because of the energy requirements of the sensors and wireless network, these batteries have a limited life duration and are used at a quicker pace. Finally, due to the energy requirements of the sensors and wireless link, as well as insufficient radio range, technologies developed for short-range applications are used, with limited battery life. The potential for combining sensing technologies with a network or signal processing intelligence is included in the implementation costs.  

Short Shelf Life of Sensors

• The shelf life of a sensor ranging from six months to a year, depend on the gas it detects and the environment it is used in. For instance, the electrochemical sensors have six-month lifespan from manufacturing date when it is stored at an optimal temperature of 20°C. A part of this lifespan is consumed while the production and shipping of the gas detector to the consumers. This limitation can hinder the growth and the expansion of the sensor market.
