Industry Overview
The internet of things (IoT) is a set of technologies that connect various sensors and devices to the Internet via mixed access networks, creating trillions of data points in the process. The increased use of sensors in IoT devices and other applications, and the rise in internet penetration rate are driving the growth of the global IoT sensors market. Presently the IoT sensors market size is USD 7.84 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 22.6% expected to reach USD 32.46 billion by 2030 during the forecast period 2022-2030. The market size for IoT sensors was influenced by several sensor types. Pressure sensors are in high demand in the market, as a result of growing worries about safety, reduced auto emissions, and comfort levels.
Market Segmentation
Insight by Sensor Type
The IoT sensor market is categorized, based on sensor type, into motion sensors, pressure sensors, flow sensors, inertial sensors, occupancy sensors, gyroscopes, and temperature sensors. Other sensor types include proximity sensors, magnetometers, accelerometers, image sensors, acoustic sensors, touch sensors, humidity sensors, and CO2 sensors. Due to increased concerns about safety, comfort levels, and reduced auto emissions, pressure sensors have the biggest market share among all sensor kinds.
Whereas, the demand for gyroscopes is projected to experience the fastest growth during the forecast period. This can be due to the surging need for equipment enhanced with sensors for uses like satellite positioning and navigation, a rise in automation needs in both homes and businesses, and a significant increase in the demand for remotely operated vehicle guidance.
Insight by Network Technology
The wired and wireless categories make the IoT sensors market, based on network technology. Due to the proliferation of mobile devices and the quick uptake of the "bring your own device" policy, wireless network technologies account for a bigger market share than wired ones. Additionally, it is projected that the next 5G cellular wireless technology would provide greater internet connectivity and coverage.
Insight by Vertical
The market is categorized into industrial, consumer, and commercial, based on vertical. Due to the increased use of smart devices in home automation, smart cities, and wearables, as well as the growing participation of domestic and international players to improve the IoT infrastructure, the consumer category is projected to grow at the highest rate among all verticals in the IoT sensors market. Whereas, the industrial sector holds the biggest market share.
