Pressure Sensors Market Size, Market Share, Application Analysis, Regional Outlook, Growth, Trends, Competitive Scenario and Forecasts, 2012 to 2020

Industry Insights

Pressure sensors are used in many industries, and the use of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology in pressure sensors is expected to further widen the application scope. This can be attributed to the benefits offered by MEMS, including reduced cost and power consumption, as well as high performance and miniaturization. Pressure sensors have to be used in Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) which was made mandatory by the U.S. government, which has contributed significantly to product demand. Additionally, growing number of vehicles on a global level is also expected to be a key driving force for the market.
