Key Highlights

• The customization in the vibration sensor is growing with respect to its size, load capacity, and frequency range. They are designed to pinpoint engine problems and eliminate unnecessary engine removals quickly. The sensing capabilities with respect to sensors and it's usage reduce with its end-user application.
• The restraints are technical; response time in analyzing the vibration can't be detected due to heavy signal load. The factors driving the growth of the Vibration Sensors market in Africa are its growing use in various applications, such as automotive and medical.
• The innovations and developments in technology led to better functioning and improved the productivity of machines. Thus, machine condition monitoring plays an important role in improving the machine's performance.
• Although the demand for vibration sensors has been on the rise for the last few years, compatibility concerns, especially in the case of old equipment, have been identified as major challenges affecting the market.
• With the increasing energy demand, there is an increasing need for energy efficiency, which can only be obtained from the optimal maintenance of the electricity supply machinery.
• Owing to the recent COVID-19 outbreak, the global supply chain and demand for multiple products have experienced disruption. Moreover, due to the production shutdown in China, multiple industries have observed a shortage of supply of various products during February and March 2020. Vendors in the market are, however, trying to provide services to industries, which is helping them in getting revenues.

MEA Vibration Sensors Market Trends

Aerospace & Defense End User to Hold Significant Share

• An increase in situational awareness to drive operations, cost-effective maintenance, and increase in asset utilization are some of the key factors driving the demand for aircraft health monitoring systems.
• The passenger traffic in Europe and other major aviation markets, such as the United Kingdom and Germany, have witnessed growth in terms of the number of passengers and aircraft movements, which is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
• Turbine engine failures are the primary cause of mechanical failures, which is increasing the costs; hence, users are increasingly turning to prognostic health management (PHM) systems to prevent these losses and to reduce maintenance costs. As vibration is the most common health monitoring parameter in the aerospace engine industry, the development of PHM systems is likely to have a direct impact on the growth of vibration sensors.

Accelerometers to Hold Maximum Market Share

• Accelerometers or acceleration sensors are primarily used to measure the acceleration or vibration of a moving device or system. The two main types of accelerometers used are Piezoelectric and MEMS accelerometers. The piezoelectric accelerometer is reliable, versatile, and unmatched for frequency and amplitude range. A MEMS sensor is a semiconductor that offers lower accuracy on frequency and amplitude but with improved power consumption.
• Accelerometers are used to measure the acceleration or vibration of a moving device or system. The adoption of accelerometers is increasing due to their applications in various end-user segments, such as aerospace and defense, industrial, consumer electronics, automotive, and other end-user industries, such as health care and energy.
• The increasing adoption of smart devices, such as smartphones, wearables, smart appliances, implantable or ingestible medical devices, among others that use accelerometers, is expected to drive the growth of the vibration sensors market over the forecast period.
• In April 2020, STMicroelectronics introduced a new 3-axis MEMS accelerometer device specially designed for vibration-sensing applications in smart maintenance applications. The IIS3DWB vibration sensor and the supporting STEVAL-STWINKT1 multi-sensor evaluation kit are designed to quicken the development of condition-monitoring systems.
• Also, ROHM Group company Kionix recently introduced a new set of accelerometers, KX132-1211 and KX134-1211, ideal for high accuracy, low power motion sensing applications in the industrial equipment and consumer wearable markets.
• The evolution and adoption of MEMS technology have resulted in the miniaturization of mechanical and electro-mechanical sensors and semiconductors using micro-fabrication and micro-machining techniques. This trend has further accelerated the rapid adoption of accelerometers in portable devices, as they offer enhanced capabilities in small unit sizes.
