Industrial Pressure Sensor Manufacturers
Pressure sensor technology for industrial applications is one of the largest and most diverse segments of the market. According to a recent market report, the pressure sensor industry continues to grow at a rate of 8.9% CAGR and is expected to grow from 13.6 billion dollars in 2020 to 20.8 billion dollars by 2025.
The industrial pressure sensors are an integral part of process control, monitoring, and safety in industrial applications. They vary in terms of technology, design, and performance. The capabilities and constraints of the pressure sensors, transducers and transmitters are dictated by the specific application. They must meet a wide range of environmental constraints that include high temperatures, vibration, mechanical stress, cold temperatures, moisture and dust ingress.
The industrial pressure sensor market is not only segmented by the industry and application, it is also segmented by global manufacturing region. Industrial nations continue to lead growth in the pressure sensors industry. Some of the top global pressure sensor manufacturers in this segment include TE Connectivity, Honeywell, NXP+, Amphenol, and Infineon.
The certifications needed by these top manufacturers depend on the industry segment in which they operate. Many of them must be ISO certified on a company level, depending on the requirements of the applications of their sensors. UL, CSA, FM and ATEX are common product-level certifications for industrial pressure transducers and transmitters.
Nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) sensing technology is another area that is expected to experience rapid growth in the upcoming years. These sensors are found in the manufacturing and use of medical devices. The medical pressure sensors segment alone is expected to reach aprox. $1 billion by 2026 with a CAGR of 6%.
Smart sensors are used to manage process control, particularly in the area of hydraulics. Pressure sensor types including MEMS, capacitive, and piezoresistive technologies are used in industrial applications. You can also find resonant, electromagnetic, and optical sensors in this category. They are used to measure gauge, absolute, differential, and vacuum pressures for manufacturing processes in many industries.
Piezoresistive pressure sensors are the largest category for industrial applications. This is due to their ability to measure different types of pressures and their versatility. As factories continue to rely on Industry 4.0 solution and industrial internet of things (IIoT), this will also increase demand for industrial pressure sensors. Smart pressure sensors are now an integral part of today’s industrial facilities. Many of them incorporate wireless technology which eliminate the need of hard wiring and provide remote process monitoring and control.
MEMS pressure sensors are used in numerous manufacturing applications, which continues to drive demand for these types of sensors, too. All segments of the industrial pressure sensor industry are set for growth, but these absolute and MEMS sensors are expected to be growth leaders that drive the industry as a whole.
