Temperature Sensor Market - Forecasts from 2020 to 2025

The temperature sensor market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.69% over the forecast period to reach US$8.304 billion in 2025 from US$6.307 billion in 2019. Temperature Sensor is an electronic device which helps in measuring the temperature through electrical signal, these sensors are used in various systems to measure the heat released and alert the end-user. Advancement in Nano and micro technology is helping in the development of high performance, reliable, accurate and cost-effective temperature sensors solution for various industrial solutions. Sensors are available in different forms according to specific installation like integrated circuit (IC) temperature sensor are used in electronic applications to detect the heat released and start the cooling device. Temperature sensors have benefits like durability, accuracy, and low power consumption. Demand for contactless temperature sensors for hazardous locations is also expected to boost the demand for these sensors. Stringent regulations with respect to the application of temperature sensors for ensuring over-heating issues will propel the market growth in the forecast period.

By Type

The temperature sensor market is segmented by type as resistor temperature detectors, thermocouples, infrared, thermistors, and others. Thermistors are thermally sensitive resistors whose prime function is to exhibit a large, predictable and precise change in electrical resistance when subjected to a corresponding change in body temperature. Integrated circuits sensors are available in a variety of interfaces like analog or digital. The integrated circuit produces an output current proportional to absolute temperature. The sensor package is small with a low thermal mass and fast response time. RTD is a resistance thermometer or resistance temperature detector which has higher accuracy and repeatability. The infrared temperature sensor senses electromagnetic waves in the 700 nm to 14,000 nm range. IR sensors read moving objects which can’t be read properly by contact temperature sensors.

By End-User Industry

By end-user industry, the temperature sensor market is segmented into automotive, oil and gas, food and beverage, HVAC, consumer electronics, chemical, and others. Temperature sensors are used in automotive sensors for sensing the temperature of liquid and gases in a vehicle. In Food and Beverage industry temperature sensors are used for keeping the food out of danger zone and activate alarms to alert workers when the temperature exceeds or drop from the safe range as a few degrees can make a lot of difference between a safe product and one contaminated with harmful bacteria.
