Market Trends of APAC Pressure Sensors Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the APAC Pressure Sensors Market according to our research experts:
Automotive Industry to Show Significant Growth
- The automotive industry, which is currently undergoing a technology transformation, with a major objective of increasing safety, comfort, and entertainment, provides various opportunities for pressure sensors. The miniature size of these sensors, such as MEMS, is influencing their demand in the design scheme of the automotive industry, making them a crucial factor for massive adoption.
- With technological developments driving the development of autonomous and self-driving cars, the adoption of sensors in cars is expected to witness subsequent growth. In the automotive sector, safety regulations enforced by governmental organizations also play a crucial role in incorporating pressure sensors. For instance, in the United States, the NHTSA has mandated the use of TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) since 2002. Hence, the US automotive sector has been leading the market studied, owing to the presence of a robust automotive sector.
- Thus, environmental and safety regulations of various countries throughout the world are expected to lead to an increasingly stringent requirement for accuracy, quality, and price of automotive pressure sensors, in the future.
Medical sector to hold the highest market share
- The Medical industry is expected to hold the highest market share with its large set of applications in devices and monitoring equipment such as Continuous Positive Air Pressure, Ventilators, Inhalers, Blood Pressure Monitoring, Drug Delivery Systems, Endoscopic Procedures, Laparoscopic Devices.
- Companies such as Honeywell manufactures and market their TruStability RSC Series, a piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor that offers a digital output for reading pressure over the specified full-scale pressure span and temperature range. It is calibrated and temperature compensated for sensor offset, sensitivity, temperature effects, and non-linearity, using a 24-bit analog-to-digital converter with integrated EEPROM. It is widely used in sleep apnea machines.
- Moreover, the company also offers the 26PC SMT (Surface Mount Technology) Series pressure sensor. This small, low-cost, high-value pressure sensing solution replaces the need of the healthcare professional having to place a stethoscope under the pressure cuff to hear the noise of the rushing blood. The sensor measures blood pressure faster and more accurately than manual devices and is used directly with printed circuit boards (PCBs).
