Market Trends of Latin America Wireless Sensors Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Latin America Wireless Sensors Market according to our research experts:
Position and proximity sensor is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share
- Position sensors can detect an object's movement or calculate its relative position relative to a known reference point. Sensors of this type can also be used to detect the presence or absence of an object. Many sensor types perform comparable functions to position sensors that are worth mentioning. Motion sensors detect an object's movement and can be utilized to initiate an action. Proximity sensors can also identify when an object enters the sensor's range. As a result, both sensors could be classified as specialized position sensors.
- Wireless position sensors are used in automobiles to determine the steering wheel's position, pedals, seats, and other valves, knobs, and actuators. Position sensors are divided into three categories: angular, rotational, and linear. Wiper-arm potentiometers, optical reflection or imaging, and Hall-effect sensors are among the technologies used to sense position in these sensors.
- To meet industry requirements, the manufacturing business necessitates a high level of precision. To make high-quality products, manufacturers concentrate on two key parameters: measurement precision and thorough inspection. A position sensor monitors several essential properties, including profiling, width, height, step, gap, V-gap, edge, angle, bend, groove, and surface.
- HVAC systems, transportation systems, industrial equipment, mobile hydraulics, smart buildings, heavy-duty gear, and construction equipment can all benefit from these sensors, which detect, measure, and assess the profiles on various object surfaces. When the position sensor is connected with the analytics software, many measurement jobs become more accessible. As a result, the wireless position sensor is ideal for automating, testing, or monitoring operations where displacement, distance, length, or position parameters need to be detected.
- Further, position sensors are made/assembled with various components from several vendors, including position magnets, sensing rods, electronics housing fixtures, diagnostic light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and connectors. Profitability is primarily determined by the availability and cost of raw materials and components, as well as the length of time it takes to bring the finished product to market. The main challenge for enterprises in this area is expanding their manufacturing capabilities, producing higher-quality products, and lowering overall production costs.
Mexico Accounts for the Largest Market Share
- The food and beverage and retail industry in Mexico are one of the fastest-growing industries for wireless sensors globally. Sensors capable of transmitting data without any physical connections improve the hygiene of the overall production establishment and minimize the risk of contamination from production tools and machinery significantly.
- Food and beverage manufacturers increasingly depend upon automated controls to achieve higher consistency and quality. This, in turn, has fueled the demand for wireless sensors. The need to maintain plants' ideal temperature and humidity levels to manufacture various food items, such as bread, has led to the broader use of wireless sensors in Mexico.
- The rising demand for wireless sensors by the retail industry is fueling the growth of the market studied. Retail users use a wireless sensor network to ensure hygienic production, storage, and distribution of their products. A recent application in a bakery used a wireless network to monitor gas consumption in ovens.
- Monnit, a prominent low-cost remote monitoring solution and wireless sensors provider makes use of a wireless temperature sensor to monitor and record temperatures inside walk-in refrigerators and freezers, providing data for FDA requirements and notifications set to alert staff of temperature fluctuations, preventing product spoilage. The company helps to ensure food is safe, and companies are in compliance with its wireless sensors.
- Further, the Mexican industrial sector can be associated with the growing number of automotive manufacturing plants. Companies like Intel that focus on the autonomous vehicle space are investing in Mexico, the sixth global car exporter. The company is planning to contribute significantly to autonomous passenger vehicles in the market by the year 2024. As TPMS is mandated across most of the regions, the demand for wireless sensors is significant.
