“Sensors have become indispensable in many industries because they provide vital information about parameters that include temperature, position, chemistry, pressure, force and load, and flow and level, and thus affect products, processes and systems,” said report author Srinivasa Rajaram, BCC Research analyst. “As technological advances in electronic control systems increase the efficiency of sensors, users are calling for advances in sensor accuracy, reliability, response time, robustness, miniaturization and communication capability. The sensor industry is robust and is expected to experience sound growth during the five-year forecast period.”
Chief Market Challenges Include Pricing Pressure, Product Logistics
The primarily challenge confronting the industry, the report notes, is the need to deliver high-performance, low-cost products. Manufacturers must not only differentiate their products in a crowded field but also market them at competitive prices. Further, producers must set up an effective supply chain management system, as delivery time is a key factor inhibiting growth.
