Market Trends of LA Vibration Sensors Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the LA Vibration Sensors Market according to our research experts:
Consumer Electronics to Show Significant Growth
- The rise in preference toward using smart electronic devices, growing middle-class, rising disposable income of consumers, and changing lifestyle preferences are some of the major factors driving the demand for consumer electronics, which has an indirect impact on the growth of vibration sensors.
- These sensors are used in consumer electronics for vibration detection to reduce noise and maintenance. When a PC Notebook falls, vibration and shock sensors are used to protect the data of HDDs.
- The sensors are used to detect changes in orientation and screen rotation and detect motion in three directions. The application of vibration sensors in consumer electronics is increasing as the sensors are used to calibrate the position, motion, and acceleration, with which the orientation of the phone and the changes in the screen rotation, images, and various features can be known for user purposes.
- For instance, in June 2021, Fluke Reliability, an operating company of Fluke Corporation, is proud to announce its newest product, the Fluke 3563 Analysis Vibration Sensor system. Vibration monitoring helps maintenance teams reduce unplanned downtime and prevent potentially catastrophic failures from occurring, but it has been difficult or cost-prohibitive to monitor every tier of an asset.
Accelerometers to Hold Maximum Market Share
- Accelerometers or acceleration sensors are primarily used to measure the acceleration or vibration of a moving device or system. The two main types of accelerometers used are Piezoelectric and MEMS accelerometers. The piezoelectric accelerometer is reliable, versatile, and unmatched for frequency and amplitude range. A MEMS sensor is a semiconductor that offers lower accuracy on frequency and amplitude but with improved power consumption.
- Accelerometers are used to measure the acceleration or vibration of a moving device or system. The adoption of accelerometers is increasing due to their applications in various end-user segments, such as aerospace and defense, industrial, consumer electronics, automotive, and other end-user industries, such as health care and energy.
- The increasing adoption of smart devices, such as smartphones, wearables, smart appliances, implantable or ingestible medical devices, among others that use accelerometers, is expected to drive the growth of the vibration sensors market over the forecast period.
- In April 2020, STMicroelectronics introduced a new 3-axis MEMS accelerometer device specially designed for vibration-sensing applications in smart maintenance applications. The IIS3DWB vibration sensor and the supporting STEVAL-STWINKT1 multi-sensor evaluation kit are designed to quicken the development of condition-monitoring systems.
- Also, ROHM Group company Kionix recently introduced a new set of accelerometers, KX132-1211 and KX134-1211, ideal for high accuracy, low power motion sensing applications in the industrial equipment and consumer wearable markets.
- The evolution and adoption of MEMS technology have resulted in the miniaturization of mechanical and electro-mechanical sensors and semiconductors using micro-fabrication and micro-machining techniques. This trend has further accelerated the rapid adoption of accelerometers in portable devices, as they offer enhanced capabilities in small unit sizes.
