Global Humidity Sensor Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028

The global humidity sensor market size reached US$ 1,081 Million in 2022. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach US$ 1,640 Million by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.19% during 2022-2028.

A humidity sensor, or hygrometer, is an electronic device that detects, measures and senses the level of moisture in the air. The sensor consists of metallic plates with non-conductive polymer films and electrodes manufactured using metals, such as silver, platinum and gold. Capacitive, mirror-based, solid, resistive and thermal sensors are some of the commonly available variants. They are used for detecting humidity in confined spaces, soil, semiconductors and heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. These sensors can withstand high and low temperatures and have minimal maintenance requirements. As a result, they are widely used across various industries, such as chemical, automotive, pharmaceuticals and food and beverage.

Humidity Sensor Market Trends

The widespread product adoption in the automotive industry across the globe is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Humidity sensors are widely used in vehicles to optimize air quality and monitor the dew point. They also aid in preventing windscreen fogging and providing enhanced comfort for the passengers by managing the humidity levels inside the vehicle. Moreover, the increasing utilization of wireless humidity sensors to monitor the temperature and humidity in museums and agricultural environments is providing a thrust to the market growth. Various product innovations, such as the launch of compact humidity sensors, are favoring the market growth. These miniaturized variants are widely used in various consumer electronics, such as fitness trackers, headphones and virtual reality (VR) glasses. In line with this, the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) with humidity sensors to track and remotely change the temperature and reduce energy consumption are positively impacting the market growth. Other factors, including the increasing demand for the installation of personalized weather stations, along with widespread product utilization in the food and beverage industry to control contamination and maintain the food quality, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
