The escalating demand for smart consumer devices is set to drive the growth of the wireless sensor network market. This surge in demand is attributed to the desire for enhanced comfort, convenience, ease of use, automation, affordability, and security in consumers' lives. Smart consumer devices have become increasingly popular due to their ability to make daily life more efficient and intelligent, utilizing technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and automation. The wireless sensor network is a key technology employed in making these devices smart. Addressing needs such as remote home monitoring and the growing concerns of the general public regarding safety, security, and convenience, wireless sensor networks play a crucial role. As per a survey by Oberlo, a Lithuania-based software company, in 2022, approximately 57.4 million US households actively use smart home devices, reflecting a 6.7% increase from 2021 when 53.8 million households utilized such devices. This increased demand for smart consumer devices is expected to propel the growth of the wireless sensor network market.
The surge in demand for electric vehicles is poised to support the expansion of the wireless sensor network market. Wireless sensors play a vital role in managing various functions in electric vehicles, including engine control systems, air conditioners, power windows, braking systems, headlights, and steering. In October 2022, the World Economic Forum reported that approximately 4.3 million new battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) were sold globally in the first half of 2022, with BEV sales growing by 75% and PHEVs by 37% compared to the previous year. Additionally, retail sales of electric vehicles in India reached 390,399 units in the first half of 2022, marking a remarkable 333% year-over-year growth compared to the same period in 2021. This substantial increase in the demand for electric vehicles is expected to be a key driver for the growth of the wireless sensor network market.
