Market Overview
The sensor market generated revenue of USD 23.7 billion in 2024, which is expected to witness a CAGR of 8.5% during 2024-2030, to reach USD 38.7 billion by 2030.
Automation and technological improvements, coupled with the adoption of IoT devices across industries, are the key main drivers of the market. This kind of sensors is not only confined to one or two industries but are used in wide ranging industries including healthcare, automotive, electronics & telecommunications, aerospace & aviation, IT & telecom and industrial.
There are several reasons for the increase in implementing these versatile devices: such as acquisition of information in real-time, connectivity to IoT networks, improvement in safety and effectiveness, effective for monitoring of predictive maintenance, automation as well as control systems, and for decision-making.
AI & ML solutions makes it easier for the sensor to process large amount of data than the conventional method. In addition to the effectiveness, it increases the reliability and availability of the systems, real time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and identifying unusual activities resulting in better operational effectiveness and cost reduction.
Merging smart sensors with artificial intelligence will ensure that the collected patient information is assessed within a short duration, resulting in better diagnosis. A consensus is being observed across medical sensors with the help of AI and, in particular, ML which opens up opportunities to develop individual treatment strategies, analyze patients remotely, and look for early signs of diseases.
