Market Trends of Thermistor Temperature Sensor Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Thermistor Temperature Sensor Market according to our research experts:
Automotive Segment is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share
- Thermistor temperature sensors have been used in the automotive industry since the last few decades for sending signals to gauges and now to electric controls. As the system complexity increased, the number of types of temperature sensors increased, and the performance requirements also increased. The primary reasons behind the adoption growth of thermistor temperature sensors in the industry are mandates, technical advancements, and customer requirements.
- With the technological changes in the automotive industry, the global demand for connected and autonomous vehicles sees a surge in the demand, and with it, vendors are increasingly developing solutions specific to the industry. For instance, in February 2020, Texas Instruments expanded its temperature sensing portfolio to include linear thermistors that offer up to 50% higher accuracy compared to NTC thermistors. Also, it is one of the smallest linear thermistors commercially available in the market.
- Temperature sensors in an automotive unit are required to undergo various harsh environments, and various vendors in the market are developing solutions that target such requirements in the industry.
