Development Prospect of Sensor Industry


Sensors first appeared in the field of industrial production, mainly used to improve production efficiency. Sensor industry analysis pointed out that in 2010 the global sensor market size has reached $72 billion. In 2014, the global sensor market exceeded 100 billion US dollars. By 2015, the global sensor market has grown to $174.1 billion billion. As of 2018, the global sensor market has reached $190 billion billion, up 9.13 percent year-on-year. With the growing demand for sensors in the global market, the sensor market will continue to grow, and the global sensor market is expected to exceed $200 billion in 2019.

China's sensor industry began in the 1950 s. With the emergence and application of structural sensors and solid sensors, the country realized the important position of sensors in the industry, so in 1986, the "Seventh Five-Year Plan" identified sensor technology as a national key project. The development prospects of the sensor industry pointed out that since then, it has opened the substantive development stage of domestic research sensors. Through continuous advancement of research and development, a relatively complete sensor industry chain has been formed.

In 2011, the size of my country's sensor market was 48 billion yuan, reaching 112.6 billion yuan in 2017, and growing to 130 billion yuan in 2018, an increase of 15.45 year-on-year. The sensor is initially used as a separate measuring instrument to detect information, with the trend of integration of technology, the sensor is gradually moving towards modularization, even miniaturization, often as a miniature modular device embedded in a fully functional system, its performance determines the performance of the entire system. Therefore, in many fields such as industrial production, space development, ocean exploration, environmental protection, resource investigation, medical diagnosis, biological engineering, and even cultural relic protection, sensors with various functions are inseparable.

From the perspective of sensor types, flow sensors, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors occupy the largest market share, accounting for 21%, 19%, and 14% respectively.

From the perspective of application fields, industry, automotive electronics, communication electronics, and consumer electronics are the largest markets for sensors. The development prospects of the sensor industry pointed out that the domestic industry and automotive electronics accounted for about 42% of the sensors, and the fastest growing automotive electronics and communications electronics applications market.

In 2019, under the guidance and support of a series of policies, such as developing high-tech, realizing industrialization, vigorously strengthening the development of sensors and their universal application in the national economy, and driven by the booming market of China's electronic information industry, sensors have formed a certain industrial foundation, and have made great progress in technological innovation, independent research and development, achievement transformation and competitiveness.

Looking forward to the future, with the intensification of market competition and the increasing number of mergers and acquisitions in the sensor industry, large foreign sensor enterprises have formed their own technological advantages through mergers and acquisitions, and the merger and reorganization, bigger and stronger of domestic sensor enterprises have also begun. for example, Goerte Acoustics, Aerospace Electronics, Dongfeng Technology and other enterprises continue to enhance their competitiveness through mergers and acquisitions. In the future, the formation of China's leading sensor enterprises will greatly enhance the competitiveness of the industry and promote the healthy development of the industry. The above is the sensor industry development prospects analysis of all the content.
