APAC Occupancy Sensors Market Size (2024 - 2029)

APAC Occupancy Sensor Market Analysis

The Asia Pacific Occupancy Sensors Market is expected to register a CAGR of 15.5% during the forecast period, 2021-2026. Smart building technology and occupancy sensors can provide real-time data, allowing to make better decisions for building management under the new guidelines of COVID-19. Whether saving space or improving hygiene, occupancy IoT sensors can help mobilize and optimize the back-to-work process.

• Occupancy sensors indicate the presence or absence of occupants in a space using various technologies such as passive infrared, ultrasonic, and dual-technology. Passive-infrared sensors necessitate a line of sight between the sensor and the space's occupants.
• Further, to reduce energy waste, most energy codes require some method of automatically turning off lights when they are not in use, either on a schedule or based on occupancy. Occupancy sensors are lighting controls that turn off lights in unoccupied areas, lowering energy costs by reducing energy waste. Also, various vendors in the region are introducing Ultrasonic sensors to detect the presence of people by emitting ultrasonic sound waves into the environment and measuring the speed with which they return.
• Also, there is an increasing focus on Dual-technology sensors that use both passive infrared and ultrasonic technologies to detect the presence of occupants and activate the lights only when both technologies detect the presence of occupants. This configuration virtually eliminates the possibility of false-on problems, and requiring either technology to keep the lights on significantly reduces the possibility of false-off problems.
• Private companies are partnering with vendors to become energy efficient. For instance, Larsen & Toubro Infotech (LTI) partnered with 75F to eliminate challenges related to inefficient lighting. 75 installed its Advanced Lighting Solution to improve occupant experience. As a result, LTI achieved an energy saving of 55%.

APAC Occupancy Sensor Industry Segmentation

An occupancy sensor is used to save energy, comply with building codes, and provide automatic control and various other such applications. One of the most-used technologies among the occupancy sensors is the passive infrared, which detects occupancy within a specific field and activates lighting, and is extremely useful in small spaces. Moreover, the advent of advanced occupancy sensors, such as micro-phonics, intelligent occupancy sensors, image processing occupancy sensors, and the new vision-based intelligent occupancy sensor, for HVAC systems is fueling the growth of the occupancy sensor market.
