Market Trends of Environmental Sensors Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Environmental Sensors Market according to our research experts:
Temperature Sensors to Drive the Environmental Sensors Market
- A smart temperature sensor is an integrated system consisting of a temperature sensor, bias circuitry, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). A temperature sensor measures heat to ensure a process stays within a specific range, providing safe application usage or meeting a necessary condition when dealing with extreme heat, hazards, or inaccessible measuring points.
- The demand for reliable, high-performance, and low-cost sensors is increasing, leading to the development of new technologies, such as microtechnology and nanotechnology. The low cost, small size, and ease of use led the sensors to widespread use in various industries, such as automobile, residential, medical, environmental, food processing, and chemical.
- Integrating temperature sensors into smart homes help homeowners enhance their energy efficiency, as the heating inside the property is adjusted based on the occupancy. Sensor-equipped devices, such as remote thermostat controllers, get real-time temperature data from inside every house room.
- Temperature sensors are being incorporated into intelligent camera systems designed to offer accurate and non-contact temperature monitoring across various disciplines. The applications include manufacturing process control, product development, waste management, facilities maintenance, emissions monitoring, and environmental, health, and safety (EHS) improvements.
- Additionally, temperature sensors enable accurate non-contact temperature measurement in healthcare. Physicians use IoT-based temperature trackers to measure ear, forehead, or skin temperature. Moreover, Multiple companies are launching IIoT sensors to drive the automation of the chemical industry. For instance, in January 2021, Asystom announced the launch of AsystomSentinel EX, a combination of triaxial vibration, sound, and ultrasound sensors to cater to the chemical industry.

Asia-Pacific is Expected to Register the Highest Growth Rate
- The Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing economic region in the world. The region is witnessing the rapid proliferation of smart technologies, such as smart cities, autonomous vehicles, IoT applications, home automation, industrial automation, intelligent processing technologies, and others. Such factors are expected to drive market growth.
- In recent years, the APAC region witnessed a notable surge in the usage of connected devices, including connected cars, smart home devices, wearables, and autonomous machines. Demand for connected devices is expected to drive the Environmental Sensors Market during the forecast period.
- India is one of the fastest developing countries in the world, with the government investing significantly in advanced technologies and more innovative infrastructures. With such rapid developments, sensors in the country are finding widespread applications in smartphones, automobiles, and healthcare. Some of the most common consumer electronics sensors include motion, temperature, and pressure sensors.
- Further, according to Schneider, "The smart homes market is fast evolving in the Indian context.' Initially, smart homes were marketed primarily as homes with advanced security features. The market is now changing into newer areas, like lighting systems, gas leakage detectors, fire detection systems, entertainment systems, and energy efficiency systems. Therefore, the growth of smart homes will lead to a positive outlook in the environmental sensors market.
- Moreover, increasing government initiatives to control environmental pollution levels, increasing government funding for pollution control and monitoring, ongoing installations of environment monitoring stations, and growing initiatives for the development of environment-friendly industries are some key factors driving the growth of the global market.
- For instance, in July 2021, a proposal from the Indian government's Ministry of Earth Sciences to pursue a Deep Ocean Mission to explore the ocean for resources and develop deep-sea technologies for sustainable use of ocean resources was cleared by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs. The project has an estimated cost of about INR 4,077 crore (~USD 492.5 million) for five years.
