Industry Overview
The global force sensor market is anticipated to grow at 2 billion in 2020 to USD 3.11 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 5.25% from 2021 to 2027. The force sensor is used to measure the amount of force applied to the object. The force sensor market offers various advantages such as sensor accuracy, reliability, response time, efficiency, communication capability, and robustness hence encourage the demand for sensors across various applications. Force sensors have extensive applicability in devices used for medical purposes, automobiles, and electronics.
Increasing industrial automation and the changing manufacturing landscape are some of the key factors driving the market growth. The rise in the adoption of force sensors in the automotive industry is anticipated to boost market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, the increasing demand for advanced medical equipment in the healthcare sector is creating a demand for force sensors such as infusion pumps, insulin pumps, etc. The demand for force sensors goes in direct proportion to the global demand for medical devices. Nevertheless, the prevalence of chronic diseases among a large number of people, increase in demand for industrial robots, rise in adoption of IoT, are driving the growth of the force sensor market globally.
The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted the production process of various industries in the market. The government has declared complete lockdown and there is a temporary shutdown of industries which has hampered the global market. It also has affected the supply chain due to the unavailability of raw materials for the manufacturing of components. The Asian and European countries have suffered the loss of business and revenue due to the halting of operations in production and manufacturing industries, resulting in a slowdown of the growth of the force sensor market in 2020. The automotive sector has halted its production facility owing to COVID-19, resulting in decreasing demand in industries. This has resulted in large-scale manufacturing interruption in Europe and interruption in Chinese part exports, thus hampering the growth of the force sensor market.
