2011–2016: Dynamic Growth of Global Sensors Markets

The non-military, open market for sensors grew from EUR 81.6 billion in 2006 to EUR 119.4 billion in 2011 and can be expected to grow to EUR 184.1 billion until 2016, according to the new World Report just published by INTECHNO CONSULTING, Basel (Switzerland). This corresponds to an average annual growth rate of 7.9% between 2006 and 2011, and 9.0% between 2011 and 2016. The average annual growth rate for the entire period covered is 8.5%. These are just some of the results of the new World Report, "Sensors Markets 2016" by INTECHNO CONSULTING, Basel.

Of the EUR 119.4 billion worldwide sensors demand in 2011, 8.7% were for purely binary sensors; 32.9% for sensors measuring mechanical properties; 8.5% for sensors measuring thermal conditions; 2.1% for sensors measuring optical properties; 2.7% for sensors measuring electrical properties; and 19.2% for image sensors and cameras of all types.

A particular focus of this Report is on image sensors, camera modules, and cameras—distinguishing between optical cameras for the visible range, infrared cameras, UV cameras, ultrasonic image sensors, and capacitive image sensors. Another new category in this Report is that of sensors measuring quality properties, whose world market share in 2011 was around 0.8%. That year, the share of sensors measuring chemical and biological properties in the world market for sensors was 10.9%.

Technological Developments

Sensors with digital output signals are in the process of replacing sensors with analog output signals. Bus-enabled sensors with wireless communication are on the rise, especially in building technology. However, their importance also rises in the process industries, for instance in remotely distributed plant locations as well as for condition-based monitoring of rotating machinery. These wireless sensors generally require batteries; but in the future, "energy harvesting" will increasingly eliminate this need. According to this concept, energy is taken directly from the sensors’ environment (ambient motion conversion, thermoelectric conversion, vibration energy and photoelectric conversion).

"Wearable" sensors (woven into textiles) are another technology of the future, as well as distributed optical fiber sensors that monitor bridges and underground oil reservoirs. Optical cameras show a trend towards 3D sensors and will operate with various types of sensor technologies. Apart from numerous industrial applications, the market for image sensors and cameras will be boosted, primarily, by driver assistance systems in vehicle construction and, increasingly, by consumer and communication electronics.

Sensors for harsh environments and heavy-duty conditions are needed primarily in the process industries and in general machinery. Robust housing concepts and innovative solutions are of the essence here.

Methodology

Methodology and Size of the Report

The methodology used to derive the global sensors market figures can be characterized as follows:

  • It is model-based – this is necessary in order to handle the enormous amount of data and the host of case distinctions concerning the various countries, applications, and categories of sensor types and measurement principles. By means of the model-based methodology, global sensors market figures can be determined and compared systematically for each industry and/or application, and traced back to their determining factors.
  • It is reality-based in the sense that the results of the model are backed by international expert interviews with sensor users and suppliers.
  • It is iterative in the sense that the process of comparison and adjustment for selected countries was repeated until the results of model forecasts were in line with expert interviews, external statistics and other secondary data.
  • It is based on a bottom-up approach and a top-down approach at the same time, where both methods check and balance each other.
  • The model calculations used to derive the sensors market figures of the Report are founded on the analyses and forecasts of 2600 industries and / or applications.

This new INTECHNO-WORLDREPORT is based on about 400 expert interviews worldwide and the analysis of more than 5000 basic statistics and other external sources for the various industries.
