atulpmrApril 25, 2021 Automation has redefined the global manufacturing and industrial landscape, with semiconductor technologies taking center stage across a multitude of industry applications. The demand for smart sensors and associated technologies is likely to remain on a very high growth trajectory, with demand pouring in from emerging and technologically aware markets such as Japan, China, and South East Asia. Projections from a new market analysis by Persistence Market Research indicate that the global smart sensor market revenue will rise from an estimated US$ 26 Bn in 2018 end to more than US$ 82 Bn by the close of 2026, resulting in a growth rate of 15.3% during the eight period from 2018 to 2026. Asia Pacific is expected to be a key contributor towards this growth, with increasing adoption anticipated to be witnessed across the automotive industry in the region. The U.S is expected to maintain a leading position in the global market for smart sensors, owing to the presence of large global players operating in the smart sensor space in the country. Significant growth potential exists in countries such as Japan, India, and China predominantly due to the steadily increasing demand for smart sensor technology from the automotive and manufacturing industries in these countries.
