Market Trends of Capacitive Pressure Sensor Industry
Automotive Segment is Expected to Observe Significant Market Growth
- One of the most important things when designing and making pressure sensors for use in cars is that they work well in a wide range of temperatures, vibrations, media, shocks, and electromagnetic conditions. In other words, the sensor must be durable enough to do its job.
- The rapid evolution of the automotive sector, with the advent of autonomous vehicles or electric vehicles, emphasizes the miniaturization of equipment for applications, primarily driving the market's growth.
- Major automotive manufacturers are currently increasing their manufacturing capacity in the electric vehicle sector. An example is the announcement by Volkswagen and Siemens made in June 2022. They stated their intention to invest a significant amount of USD 450 million, which would value Electrify America at USD 2.45 billion. This collaborative effort aims to double the number of Electrify America charging stations across the US and Canada by 2026.
- The global sales of electric vehicles will cross 4.3 million new BEVs and PHEVs during the first half of 2022, as stated by EV-Volumes.com. The huge demand for automotive vehicles and their rapid developments are expected to augment the capacitive pressure sensor market.
- Additionally, According to IEA, In 2022, an estimated 10.2 million units of plug-in electric light vehicles (PEVs) were sold. Additionally, electric vehicle sales in Europe's five major markets witnessed a significant increase in 2022. Also, United States sales of all-electric and plug-in electric vehicles peaked in 2022. For instance, according to EERE and the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) sales reached 918,500 units in the United States in 2022, compared to 607,600 units in 2021. Such rise in electric vehicles is likely to boost the demand for capacitive pressure sensors gloablly.
