The South America smart sensors market is expected to grow from US$ 1,164.27 million in 2021 to US$ 2,245.81 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.8% from 2021 to 2028.
The Internet of Things (IoT) has accelerated the evolution of sensors to new heights. Many production facilities are taking up smart sensors with the industry 4.0-powered cyber-physical transformation of manufacturing industries. IoT platforms use a variety of sensors to deliver intelligence and data, allowing devices to function autonomously and the entire ecosystem to become more intelligent. Devices share information and improve their efficiency and functionality by combining a set of sensors and a communication network. The demand for IoT is growing in various industrial verticals, which, in turn, is supporting the growth of the smart sensor market.
Smart sensors are well-suited to safety-critical applications, such as gas detection, fire detection, and intruder detection. Sensors are attached to a suitable surface (portable surface), such as a desk, wall, or door, and wirelessly transmit data to the cloud, making them easy to install and retrofit into existing structures.
They are eco-friendly as they use low-power wireless technology and are self-powered, ultra-long-life batteries, power over ethernet (PoE), or are mains-powered, eliminating the need to keep replacing batteries. Smart sensors have advantages, such as high reliability, withstand in a rugged environment, flexibility in size, and weight requirements. The demand for smart sensors in home automation is increasing with the rise in safety and security concerns.
Automation sensors can become the eyes and ears of the home 24/7 as they can efficiently control various electronics home appliances, such as fans, speakers, doorbells, and indoor and outdoor cameras. Smart sensors, such as smart smoke and CO sensors, weather sensors, video doorbell, window and door sensors, water leak/freeze sensors, motion sensors, light sensors, temperature sensors, and smart thermostats, are a few types of smart sensors that are mostly preferred in home automation. Currently, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS) are in high demand. Manufacturers can use modern sensor technologies in portable devices, smartphones, tablets, gaming devices, navigation, and home appliances. Smart sensor technologies also find applications in smart home automation, security systems, robotics, automotive, and healthcare. Hence, extensive uptake of smart sensors in IoT-Based devices and consumer electronics is driving the growth of the smart sensor market.
With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the smart sensors market growth at a notable CAGR during the forecast period.
