Market Trends of APAC Occupancy Sensors Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the APAC Occupancy Sensor market according to our research experts:
Residential Expected to Witness Significant Growth
- With the introduction of smart building technologies, facility managers now have access to robust tools to access accurate information about space occupancy rather than relying on estimates and approximations and occupancy sensors aiding in collecting data about space usage and optimizing space management decisions in the region.
- Also, switch from a traditional lighting control system to a smart lighting control system, which allows for wireless and even touchless lighting control through occupancy sensing, time scheduling, and voice control. All of this has opened up new opportunities for professional lighting control companies, which provide flexible solutions to homes.
- Further, Photoelectric infrared (PIR) sensors are the current standard for detecting occupancy presence in buildings. Smart thermostats use sensors to control heating and cooling based on occupancy. One significant issue is that these PIR sensors only detect individuals moving.
- Additionally, occupancy sensor and smart outlet reference designs help home automation device makers and developers accelerate time to market while lowering system cost and complexity. Developers can quickly advance from design concept to final product by leveraging these new, turnkey reference designs, including pre-certified wireless technology, open-source hardware design files, industry-standard software stacks, and proven test setups manufacturing methods.

India Expected to Witness Significant Market Share
- The initiation of technically sophisticated occupancy sensors for various applications fuels security and access systems demand by providing a user-friendly and reliable service. Aside from that, various commercial establishments such as IT companies, enterprises, data centers are implementing access control systems to protect personnel and data breaches, to record employee's entry and exit timings.
- The rising demand for energy-efficient devices is expected to drive the country. Occupancy sensors play a vital role in reducing energy consumption. This is achieved through the sensors, which shut down devices and other equipment based on occupancy. These sensors help reduce light pollution and can be used for indoor and outdoor spaces.
- The demand for passive infrared is expected to continue in the country due to the low cost, demand for energy-efficient devices, and less power requirement. It has a range of applications, such as lighting, spectrometers, gas, and fire detection systems. Some of the significant benefits of passive infrared sensors are accurate movement detection, reliable triggering, and cost-efficiency. Vending machine designers, for instance, are now incorporating PIR sensors into their products so that their displays only light up when someone is standing in front of the unit or maybe waving their hand in front of a panel, which saves on operating costs.
- Further, the market is witnessing various innovations. For instance, in October 2021, Wozart, a Smart Home tech company based in Hyderabad, India, announced a product designed to work with Apple HomeKit. The Sense Pro multi-sensor is intended to function similarly to an occupancy sensor while including several other features. The Sense Pro uses a combination of methods (dubbed TrueOccupancy), including thermal imaging and built-in AI, to determine whether people are in a given room and whether a person has entered or exited the room with the sensor designed to sit above the room's entrance.
