Smart sensors are intelligent devices that capture data from environments and transform their physical properties such as temperature, speed, and pressure into measurable electrical signals. The electric signals are then processed by a microprocessor to initiate further actions. They are highly sensitive to any change and take some predefined action when they sense the appropriate input.

Smart sensors enable more accurate and automated collection of environmental data and are mostly used for monitoring and control mechanisms in a wide range of environments such as smart grids, security systems, flood and water level monitoring, fault detection in equipment, and several other applications. Increasing usage of smart sensors for these applications will continue to generate sales prospects during the forecast period.

The rising penetration of internet of things (IoT) and industry 4.0 has put smart sensor technology into the spotlight. These sensors are integrated with IoT for measuring temperature, mass, speed, pressure and heat. They are being widely used across multiple industries on account of their self-calibration, cloud support and multiple sensing capabilities.

Rapid advancements in semiconductor technology and growing demand for consumer electronics have a profound impact on the smart sensor market. Various types of smart sensors including touch sensors, flow sensors, smart temperature sensor and Smart Position Sensor are available in the market. These sensors find their usage in majority of modern consumer appliances including smartphones, intelligent lighting systems, security cameras, wearables etc. Rise in sales of these electronic products will directly boost the growth of smart sensor market.

Moreover, rising demand for MEMS technology in smart sensors will further accelerate the market growth. MEMS technology helps smart sensors to handle massive amounts of data in a fraction of seconds. Adoption of MEMS technology thus makes these smart sensors more flexible and facilitates their self-calibration capabilities.
