Overview:
A piezoelectric sensor is a device capable of detecting pressure changes, temperature variations, and deviations in forces by utilizing the mechanism of the piezoelectric effect. Increasing demand for highly accurate pressure sensors from inferior application verticals such as diesel fuel injectors and solar equipment is augmenting the growth of the piezoelectric sensors market worldwide. The growing adoption of smart devices such as smartphones, ultrasound imaging, and smartwatches, among others, is reported as one of the most prominent factors further influencing the piezoelectric sensors market’s growth. Moreover, surging wireless sensing networks and IoT developments are some more factors proliferating the demand for piezoelectric sensors worldwide.
The growing popularity of piezoelectric sensors encouraged governments and research institutes to invest in R&D for more innovative products. In October 2017, the MIT Research Institute introduced flexible piezoelectric sensors to detect movements in the gastrointestinal tract. These sensors are highly demanded in the healthcare sector to identify and diagnose gastrointestinal disorders. Such product developments are creating a huge opportunity for piezoelectric sensor market growth. Product development through material quality enhancement is observed as one of the most widely adopted strategies in the overall piezoelectric sensors market.
The market for piezoelectric sensors is divided into applications such as industrial & manufacturing, automotive, healthcare, telecom, and aerospace, among others.
