Technavio research analysts categorize the market based on the end-user type

The top three revenue contributing end-user segments are discussed below

Global acoustic sensors market for the telecom segment: Acoustic sensors, especially surface acoustic wave (SAW) and bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters, are used in cellular base stations to filter signals and boost reception. Acoustic sensors, particularly SAW filters, also find application as band pass filters. SAW and BAW filters are expected to drive the demand for acoustic sensors in the global market during the forecast period.

Acoustic sensor devices have many significant applications in the consumer and communication industries due to their stupendous performance, high reproducibility, and small size. Applications of acoustic sensors in the telecom industry account for the largest volume of these devices,” says Sunil Kumar Singh, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on sensors.

Global acoustic sensors market for the automotive segment: Temperature monitoring and TPMS are the key areas of acoustic sensor application in the automotive industry. SAW sensors are particularly crucial in TPM to monitor tire pressure in real-time. The rising demand for appropriate safety measures in automobiles is anticipated to drive growth of the global acoustic sensor market for the automotive segment during the forecast period.

Global acoustic sensors market for the consumer electronics segment: Acoustic sensors, especially SAW sensors, are used extensively in medical applications for monitoring strain and pressure. The sensors are used to record pressure values from different locations for diagnosis and treatment in the fields of cardiology, urology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, and many others.

The top vendors operating in the global acoustic sensors market are:

  • Boston Piezo-Optics
  • Honeywell International
  • Murata Manufacturing

Other prominent vendors in the market include CeramTec, CTS Corporation, Panasonic, and Teledyne Microwave Solutions.
