The Global Passive Infrared Sensors Market was valued at USD 790.9 million in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 13.2% to reach USD 2.7 billion by 2034.
The increasing popularity of smart home automation is one of the key factors driving this growth. As consumers invest more in connected devices, the demand for PIR sensors has surged, as these sensors are essential for enabling motion detection in smart lighting systems, security alarms, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) applications. PIR sensors, known for their low power consumption and reliable motion-detection capabilities, are becoming integral to enhance convenience, security, and energy efficiency. The rise of voice assistants and IoT devices further expands the use of PIR sensors in multifunctional devices that offer seamless automation. Additionally, the global emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency has promoted the adoption of PIR sensors in energy-saving building solutions. These sensors help optimize the control of lighting, heating, and cooling systems by detecting human presence and reducing unnecessary energy use. This trend is particularly important as governments implement stricter energy efficiency regulations and companies adopt green building certifications.
The motion controller segment held a 41.2% share and was valued at USD 326 million in 2024. Motion controllers continue to dominate the PIR sensor market due to their crucial role in security systems, lighting control, and energy management solutions. Their affordability, low power usage, and easy integration make them essential in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
The long-wave PIR sensor segment generated USD 382.3 million in 2024. Long-wave PIR sensors are in high demand for outdoor and large-area applications, such as perimeter security, military surveillance, traffic monitoring, and smart city infrastructure. The growing focus on advanced security systems, public safety, and defense modernization is driving this segment’s expansion. Companies looking to maintain leadership in the market should prioritize the development of long-range sensors with enhanced connectivity, reduced false alarms, and higher performance to cater to large-scale infrastructure and defense projects.
United States Passive Infrared Sensors Market generated USD 245.8 million in 2024, with a CAGR of 14% fueled by a surge in home automation, the increasing demand for advanced security systems, and a rise in smart infrastructure projects.
