Automotive Sensor Market Outlook - 2027
The global automotive sensor market size is expected to reach $37.65 billion by 2027 from $16.40 billion in 2019, growing at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2020 to 2027.
Automotive sensors detect, measure, and transmit information, which help in analyzing performance of vehicles. Sensors are devices that detect events or changes in environment and then provide a corresponding output. They sense physical input such as light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure, or any other entity, and respond by producing an output on a display or transmit the information in electronic form for further processing. It uses integrated circuit (IC) fabrication technology made on silicon wafers. It monitors and controls chemical, physical, and process changes of an automobile.
Sensors are used to minimize fuel consumption and reduce onboard weight of a vehicle. Automotive sensors are smart sensors, which can be used to control and process temperature, coolant level, and pressure of oil in a vehicle. There are several types of sensors used in the automotive industry such as speed sensors, coolant sensors, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, magnetic sensors, voltage sensors, and oxygen sensors. Automotive sensor is one of the fastest growing technologies in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) section, especially in North America.
Presently, there is an increase in demand for intelligent sensors in vehicles, which allows manufactures to give drivers higher level of safety & security, reliability, and information & entertainment. Manufacturers of electronic devices are incorporating more sensors in their devices to add additional features and compete with other players in the market. High competition in the electronic market, steady upgrade in electronic devices, and increase in automation in the automotive industry through electronic devices are anticipated to drive the growth of automotive sensor industry in future.
Smart sensors are used in accelerometers, which are equipped in vehicles to provide benefits such as safety and fuel efficiency. For instance, a smart sensor processes real-time data and notifies engine-related problems. Moreover, these facilitate communication between engine, suspension, braking, and other controls of vehicles. Vehicle safety issues have led vehicle manufacturers to adopt smart sensors at a high rate, such as in airbags, for safety. These air bags are more effective compared to conventional air bags in sensing accidents, thus minimizing them.
