Canada Pressure Sensor Market - Forecasts from 2022 to 2027

A pressure sensor is a mechanical device that measures the pressure applied to an object. These sensors are employed to control and monitor the pressure on the object and alert the user when the pressure is high to avoid breaking or any mishap. The prime reason driving the market growth of pressure sensors in Canada is significant growth in the manufacturing sector. The manufacturing sector contributes more than 10% of the GDP and accounts for 68% of merchandise exports in the country. The rise in the sector is expected to drive market growth. Furthermore, with the implementation of new laws in the region and investment by the companies, the automotive manufacturing is projected to show promising growth. The rise in chronic disease has raised expenditure on healthcare, which is projected to support the market.

The automotive industry demand for pressure sensors in Canada is projected to surge at a significant rate owing to increasing production and a rise in investment, leading to a surge in production units.

Based on end-users, the Canadian pressure sensor market is segmented into energy and power, oil and gas, healthcare, manufacturing, consumer electronics, automotive, and others. The automotive industry's demand for pressure sensors is expected to surge at a notable rate owing to robust development in the industry. Automotive manufacturing is the largest manufacturing sector in the country. Data provided by the government of Canada shows that in 2020, the automotive industry contributed US$12.5 billion to the GDP. Promising growth in the industry has attracted existing players to expand their productions and production units, hence increasing the investment in the industry. It is projected to increase the electric vehicle market and will also provide robust growth potential to the pressure sensor industry in the country. The government, in October 2020, announced an investment of US$223 million towards the development of Ford factories in the country into electric vehicle manufacturing units.

Growth Factors

Implementation of new labor laws in the region is expected to equate the working conditions of labor throughout the region, supporting the manufacturing sector in Canada and hence driving the market growth.

One of the prime reasons expected to drive notable growth in the Canadian pressure sensor market is the implementation of favorable labor laws. In 2018, NAFTA implemented labor law in an attempt to equate the labor working conditions throughout the North American region. Implementation of the law accompanied by the yearly attempts of NAFTA to improve labor conditions, especially in Mexico, has attracted manufacturing companies to the US and Canada and hence provided growth potential for pressure sensors in Canada.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Canada Pressure Sensor Market

The outbreak of the coronavirus negatively impacted the pressure sensor market in Canada. Implementation of lockdown resulted in the shutdown of manufacturing and other sectors, hence reducing the market demand for pressure sensors. However, resilient growth in the healthcare sector demand supported the market.
