US Industrial Sensors Market Analysis
The US Industrial Sensors Market size is estimated at USD 16.52 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 23.11 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.93% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Industrial sensors are a crucial part of factory automation and Industry 4.0. Sensors such as motion, environmental, and vibration sensors are used to monitor equipment health, from linear or angular positioning, tilt sensing, leveling, shock, or fall detection. United States industries are positioned to augment their operations economically and demographically, serving both domestic interests and export possibilities, which will rise soon.
- An industrial sensor system is often powered by a 24V DC source, which is very different from a sensor in a consumer system that is powered by a 3V or 5V source. As a result, industrial sensor systems require additional power management to drive the sensors effectively. These use digital outputs such as IO-Link directly to a microcontroller or the wireless transceiver.
- The increasing adoption of IoT in the United States can be attributed to factors like rapid digitalization, technological advancements, government initiatives, policies, and investments aimed at promoting digital transformation and Industry 4.0. Due to Industry 4.0 and the acceptance of IoT, massive shifts in manufacturing require enterprises to adopt agile, smarter, and innovative ways to advance production with technologies that complement and augment human labor with automation and reduce industrial accidents caused by process failure. With the high adoption rate of connected devices and sensors and the enabling of M2M communication, there has been an increase in the data points generated in the manufacturing industry.
- Although the global automotive sector witnessed a recession in the past two years, the trend was also reflected in the United States. The number of sensors and sensor components increased in the sector. MEMS pressure sensors have witnessed significant adoption in the smart automotive sector in the last few years. For the same, Asystom launched a range of multi-sensor IIoT devices featuring increased autonomy.
- The multi-sensor capability has addressed the predictive maintenance needs of a wide array of industrial equipment, integrating new on-board, connected, energy-saving electronics performing in situ analysis. Apart from increased performance, these innovative products are eco-responsible and 100% upgradeable.
- Although the integration of sensors increases the industrial automation level, it incurs an additional cost, which limits the use in cost-sensitive applications. Additionally, high development costs involved in the research and development activities to manufacture new products act as a critical challenge, mainly for the cash-deficient small and medium-sized sensor manufacturers. While the cost disparity has been declining in the past few years, they still cost more. However, as productivity is crucial in several industrial settings, these sensors have been widely adopted by multiple organizations across the region. However, higher initial investment still poses a significant challenge to the market's growth.
US Industrial Sensors Market Trends
Growing Adoption of IoT Leading to Demand for Sensing Components Drives the Market
- The Internet of Things (IoT) is a critical component of Industry 4.0. It has extensive applications in the monitoring of production systems in manufacturing and services. This technology opens up new and innovative possibilities in manufacturing by facilitating higher performance. The implementation and use of the Internet of Things transformed how industries operate, communicate, and utilize data, and it is only continuing to grow.
- The Industrial Internet of Things enabled industries to rethink business models, generating actionable information and knowledge from IIoT devices. A data-sharing ecosystem started to build new revenue streams and partnerships.
- On the other hand, aggregated and real-time data from sensors led to the development of robots that can take specific actions because of these built-in capabilities, whereby IIoT becomes a driver of 'decision-making' devices. This happened in warehouses as the Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT). As an essential aspect of digital transformation, IoT technology is becoming increasingly important in the manufacturing industry.
- The consistent and reliable performance of sensors has led the assets in heavy industrial operations to drive critical daily metrics. Manufacturers are constantly monitoring the uptime of assets along their production lines. IIoT integrates legacy machinery commonplace within these complex industries via industrial connectivity with IIoT platforms for different use cases, roles, and applications.
- IIoT uses smart sensors to monitor and improve industrial processes and equipment. These sensors capture and analyze data about machines, components, and techniques in real time and then transmit that data for storage, further analysis, or to notify a technician or operator that something is going wrong. According to the Global System for Mobile Communications Association, by 2025, North America's total number of consumer and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) connections is forecast to grow to 5.4 billion.
- Moreover, various manufacturers are deploying sensors in IoT devices to boost their performance. For instance, in May 2023, iMatrix Systems, a US-based provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, launched a range of temperature and humidity sensors designed for use in food and produce storage, transport monitoring, pharmaceutical, and agriculture applications. The NEO series sensors can quickly and accurately measure changes in temperature and humidity, making them ideal for use in dynamic refrigeration environments like cold storage and refrigerated transportation.
Pressure Sensors to Hold Significant Market Share
- Pressure sensors are utilized to monitor relative system pressure in many process applications, as well as hydraulics and pneumatics. These sensors have witnessed significant growth over the years owing to the increasing applications across various industries, such as aerospace, automotive, healthcare, consumer goods, etc. Ranging from laboratory applications to plant and mechanical engineering, pressure and level measuring devices have become as diverse as their areas of application, thanks to the evolution of measurement technologies.
- In the past few years, exclusive cross-country and off-road cars have been installed with an innovative tire pressure control system. For instance, the G63 AMG 6X6 from the Mercedes enables the driver to check and vary the tire pressure of both the front and rear axles separately. Reportedly, the system takes less than 20 seconds to raise the tire pressure from 0.5 bar to 1.8 bar. Such applications, coupled with increasing demand for Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TMPS), are expected to govern the need for pressure sensors in tire pressure applications over the forecast period.
- Piezoresistive and capacitive sensors dominate the pressure sensors market as they are increasingly used in the automotive, medical, petrochemical, oil, and gas industries. Optical and resonant solid-state sensors are anticipated to exhibit increased growth over the forecast period due to their applications in hazardous environments.
- For instance, in September 2023, Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, announced the launch of its latest product for hydrogen-druck hydrogen-rated pressure sensors. Designed to offer longer-term stability and withstand harsh environments, the hydrogen pressure sensors can be used in various applications, including gas turbines, hydrogen production electrolysis, and hydrogen filling stations.
- The medical industry is also observing significant growth opportunities owing to rising geriatric populations, increasing healthcare expenditures, and growing chronic diseases among the considerable population. The USA spends more money on healthcare per person than any other country in the world. Nevertheless, the United States has a distinct method of funding their healthcare system, with most of the costs being covered by private insurance. In the fiscal year 2023, private insurance covers approximately one third of total health spending.
