Market Trends of Fiber Optic Pressure Sensors Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Fiber Optic Pressure Sensors Market according to our research experts:
Oil and Gas Expected to Drive the Market Growth
- Due to the increasing number of projects approved in the oil and gas sector, the demand for fiber optic pressure sensor equipment is increasing. To meet the need for measurements, in high temperature and high pressure in an oil and gas well, an optical fiber pressure sensor, based on extrinsic Fabry Perot (F-P) cavity, is used . This measures long-term operation stability and high-temperature resistance.
- Opsens Solutions OPP series fiber optic pressure transducers are designed to provide accurate pressure measurement in the most adverse conditions. The OPP-M is designed for pressure measurement that requests very small sensors of 0.250mm OD with outstanding repeatability and demonstrates high-fidelity pressure measurement with no phase delay in oil and gas well.
- Moreover, FiberPoint sensors from Pinnacle are some of the most precise measuring tools that are designed to enter into some of the most hostile environments on the Earth. Unlike traditional sensors, FiberPoint sensors have no internal electronics that can fail in extreme environments. This opens new possibilities for measurements in a much broader range of downhole conditions, which will give an opportunity to grow the market.
North America to Account for a Major Share
- North America is a significantly growing market, with the United States accounting for a major share, specifically owing to the growth in consumer electronics. Textile-integrated flexible optical fibers for electronic wearable systems are lightweight in structure, insensitive to electromagnetic fields, and water- and corrosion-resistant. Due to these benefits, optical fiber-based pressure sensors are used in numerous applications to detect chemical or physical change further stimulating adoption of consumer electronics.
- The use of optical fibers has also increased across the medical and biomedical sector, in the United States, such as control of cardiovascular assist, endoscopic imaging, etc. This includes low drift, high accuracy, and insensitivity to light loss factors along the length of the optical fiber. Advancement in technology has led to the emergence of several applications that include research and development, manufacturing, defense, medical and process control, which are driving the market growth.
