Temperature Sensor Market Growth Drivers and Challenges:
Growth Drivers
- Growing Construction Activities
As construction activity increases, so does the number of new structures being built. To keep the inside climate acceptable in these buildings, reliable and effective HVAC systems are needed. To monitor and manage the building's temperature, humidity, and air quality, temperature sensors are employed in these systems.
- Rise in Adoption of Vehicles
The temperature of the exhaust gases from automobiles is tracked by temperature sensors, which is crucial for regulating emissions and guaranteeing compliance with environmental laws.
- Surge in Demand for Smartphones
In smartphones, temperature sensors are used to track the battery's temperature in order to prevent overheating and lower the possibility of battery failure or damage.
- Growth in Number of Data Centers
In the entire world, there are about 7,999 data centers. Approximately 32% of the data centers among them are situated in the US. Hence, in order to monitor and regulate the facility's temperature and humidity levels, temperature sensors are frequently employed in data centers. In order to guarantee the dependable and effective operation of servers, networking hardware, and other crucial infrastructure in data centers, it is essential to maintain the right temperature and humidity levels.
- Upsurge in Production of Aerospace
Between 2019 and 2041, it is anticipated that the worldwide number of airplanes would grow from about 24,000 to approximately 47,000 aircrafts. In aerospace and aviation, temperature sensors are used to monitor vital components and make sure they are operating within acceptable temperature limits.
Challenges
- High Price of Temperature Sensor - In particular in price-sensitive industries or applications, the high cost of temperature sensors may function as a barrier to their adoption. The type of sensor, the degree of accuracy required, the range of temperatures monitored, and the features and functionality supplied may all impact the price of temperature sensors. Also, some temperature sensors may cost more since they need to adhere to particular industry standards or laws. Costly certification and compliance testing may be passed on to customers by manufacturers.
- Lack of Accuracy & Reliability
