The global temperature sensor market is projected to grow from USD 7.43 billion in 2025 to USD 8.94 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2025 to 2030. The adoption of wearable devices is increasing rapidly, with many end users seeking such technologies to improve their fitness and overall health. Currently, 1 in 6 people own and use a wearable device, and this adoption trend is expected to grow in the coming years.
Several temperature sensors are embedded in wearable devices to monitor body parameters. These sensors are used in devices such as smartwatches and fitness activity trackers. The demand for temperature sensors in wearables, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers, is increasing as the technology enables the effective monitoring and measurement of bodily activities, such as heart rate and body temperature. With technological advancements, the demand for enhanced and improved wearables is also expected to grow.
For example, the chemical, consumer electronics, oil & gas, energy & power, or automotive industries have seen significant increases in the use of contact temperature sensors. Other wired temperature sensors can provide stability, accuracy, and a fast response time, making them the best candidates for critical industrial processes that require temperature control. Several manufacturers have started to manufacture temperature sensors. For example, in 2022, Temp-Pro, which manufactures temperature sensors, unveiled Helical Thermowell, which was developed to fill the void in the temperature sensor industry for high-velocity services.

Contact type to account for larger market share in 2030
Contact temperature sensors require physical contact with the substance/object/source. They can detect solid, liquid, or gaseous elements covering a range of temperatures. These sensors include thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors, temperature sensor ICs, and bimetallic temperature sensors. The use of these sensors differs based on the application. The application of contact temperature sensors is prevalent in a variety of industries, including chemicals, consumer electronics, oil & gas, energy & power, and automotive, due to their low cost, temperature range, and accuracy. Some of the major players that offer contact temperature sensors are Honeywell International Inc. (US), TE Connectivity (Switzerland), Dwyer Instruments, LLC. (US), and Texas Instruments Incorporated (US).Wired to capture the largest share of the temperature sensor market during the forecast period
A wired temperature sensor is a device that measures temperature and converts the input data into a measurable signal, which can be recorded and monitored to track temperature changes. The demand for reliable and accurate temperature monitoring is increasing. Due to its connectivity, the wired temperature sensor segment is expected to hold a larger share of the temperature sensor market. Recent years have seen an increasing use of temperature sensors across multiple industries due to their low price, broad temperature range, and high levels of accuracy.For example, the chemical, consumer electronics, oil & gas, energy & power, or automotive industries have seen significant increases in the use of contact temperature sensors. Other wired temperature sensors can provide stability, accuracy, and a fast response time, making them the best candidates for critical industrial processes that require temperature control.
