The top three revenue contributing type segments are discussed below:
Inertial sensors: Rise in demand for smartphones and tablets is the major growth driver of the inertial sensors market. The automotive industry is also playing a vital role in the market growth. With the increasing demand for vehicle automation and governments worldwide mandating the use of automotive safety sensors, the adoption of MEMS inertial sensors is growing.
“One of the major factors contributing to the high growth is the increasing use of MEMS inertial sensors for car infotainment as well as tracking applications in vehicles. Automobiles classified in the low-to-mid segment are also witnessing an increase in integration of advanced features such as GPS and airbags,” says Chetan Mohan, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on semiconductor equipment.
Magnetic field sensors: Currently, magnetic field sensors are one of the most low-field and reliable sensors in the semiconductor industry. Regarding magnetometry capabilities, magnetic field sensors are used for linear and rotary displacement and angular position sensing, detecting the strength of a magnetic field, current sensing, and leveraging earth’s field for navigation and compassing.
Pressure sensors: The growth in the market is attributed to increased demand for pressure sensors in different applications, predominantly in the automotive and consumer electronics sectors. Automotive applications, such as pressure monitoring, brake sensors, side airbag sensors, clutch-transmission systems, and tire-pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), are integrated with pressure sensors. The growing adoption of pressure sensors for automation in the industrial segments is increasing the demand for these sensors. The increasing significance of pressure sensors for invasive and implantable uses in medical appliances is also driving the adoption of these sensors in the healthcare segment.
