Market Trends of Capacitive Ceramic Pressure Sensors Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Capacitive Ceramic Pressure Sensors Market according to our research experts:
Medical Applications is Expected to Hold Significant Share
- Pressure sensing technology is playing a vital role in the complex array of medical devices. Pressure sensors used in medical devices save lives and must meet the most demanding, and in many cases, unique requirements. They offer accurate and stable measurements of critical pressure levels in gas and liquids within the body and treatments being applied to patients.
- Additionally, passive devices might not require a power source at all. The external reader can deliver the excitation signal. This makes them suitable for wearable or implanted medical devices. These applications can be improved by new technologies that enable the construction of flexible or molded sensors to the shape.
- Medical applications of ceramic capacitive sensors have shown significant growth over the year, as innovation in packaging creates a eutectic die bond over the ceramic substrate and offers an airtight seal even in the presence of harsh fluids. Respirators, ventilators, vital sign monitors, and airflow applications are a few major medical end-user applications, which deal with the high-value stakes incorporated with equipment accuracy.
- Further, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the demand for ventilators to increase rapidly in the past year. This has enabled companies like Setra Systems to help manufacturers select the ideal pressure sensors for use for ventilators and use on testing equipment for the same. The company manufactures a wide range of pressure sensors for medical ventilator manufacturing and testing.
- For instance, Setra Model 278 uses a variable capacitance sensor using ceramic material fused with gold and glass to form the SETRACERAM pressure element.

North America Accounts for the Largest Share
- North America is anticipated to dominate the capacitive ceramic pressure sensor market due to its stable industrial structure across all domains. The region's growing research and development activities drive the area to dominate innovations and commercialization.
- In the Automobile industry by transduction type, these sensors have formed the largest segment with better optimization, control, and safety enhancement, acting as some critical drivers for the growth of this segment. In the vehicle type segment, passenger cars have dominated the market share in the U.S., with easier availability of components and related manufacturers acting as a few significant factors for this segment's growth. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), In 2020, the auto industry in the United States sold approximately 14.5 million light vehicle units. Light-duty vehicles are famous for their utility and improved fuel economy, making them an ideal choice in the region.
- Moreover, in tire pressure monitoring system regulations in North America, it is required that the tire pressure monitoring system must respond within 2 minutes of an abnormal tire, after which an alarm will alert the owner. The monitoring system display must alert the owner when the pressure monitoring sensor device signal in the tire is not received or when the reception is unstable. Such regulations in the region drive the market for capacitive ceramic pressure sensors due to the increasing applications in the automobile industry.
- Some of the vendors in the region include Vega Americas, Sensata technologies, Setra Systems, among others. Companies such as Setra systems are engaged in offering capacitive ceramic pressure sensors for industrial applications. The company is also ISO 9001-2008 certified manufacturer that offers these sensors to applications involving HVAC & building automation, industrial OEM, test & measurement, and critical environments.
- Further, in July 2021, Sensata Technologies acquired Preco Electronics. The company has further extended its sensing content into areas related to the autonomous megatrend and builds scale in heavy-duty vehicle markets with the acquisition.
