Revenue of Motion Sensor Market to Reach US$18.20 bn by 2023, Strong Automotive Industry in APAC to Bolster Growth
Motion sensor is a device that senses
motion of any non-living or living objects within its range. Motion sensors are
a vital component in smart floodlights, energy efficiency, automated lighting
control, home control and security systems among others. These devices save
energy, time and are easy to install. Motion sensor is not only used in
infotainment and business applications but also in routine activities in homes
and other settings
Increasing application of motion sensors in
smartphones is primarily driving the growth of global motion sensor market.
Additionally growing demand for these sensors in the gaming and entertainment
industry is propelling the growth of this market. People are playing
motion-controlled game systems, which use sensors to detect activities.
Increasing application of motion sensors in automotive industry has led to the
increase in competitiveness in the market. Motion sensors are used in several
automobile applications which range from Advanced Driver Assistance System
(ADAS), airbag deployment system and security among others. At present, many
luxury vehicles are coming up with large number of motion sensor products. In
addition to this, rapid expansion of the automotive industry in the APAC region
is set to bolster the global motion sensor market.
Motion sensor is largely being used in
tablets and smartphones, and also in the healthcare industry. There is a
growing demand for high-end MEMS accelerometers in industrial and defense
applications such as structural health monitoring for bridges, inertial
measurement units for navigation and oil exploration.
Based on types, the motion sensor market is
segmented into MEMS magnetometer, MEMS accelerometer, MEMS gyroscope,
ultrasonic sensor and sensor combos. MEMS accelerometers occupied the highest
market in 2014 followed by MEMS gyroscopes. MEMS accelerometer motion sensor is
an electromechanical device used to verify acceleration forces. Gyroscope
motion sensors are commonly used in robotic applications to determine the
balancing and send corrections to drones or motors to stable the flight.
Based on the technology types, the global
market is segmented into infrared sensor, microwave sensor, tomographic sensor,
ultrasonic sensor and others. The infrared sensor segment dominates the motion
sensor market followed by microwave sensor. Microwave motion sensors sense the
intruder’s motion into a specific portion and triggers alarm as a result.
Microwave motion sensors emit microwaves into the specific region and detect
any interruption by analyzing the frequency of the received microwaves after
the reflection from the intruder. Infrared sensors are further segmented into
passive infrared and active infrared. The active infrared segment dominated the
motion sensors market globally in 2014.
By applications, the global market is
segmented into industrial application, consumer electronics, automotive
application, fitness and wellness, health care, aerospace and defense and
others. Industrial application market is sub segmented into lighting controls,
service robotics and fire alarms and smoke detectors. Consumer electronics
market is further segmented into gaming and entertainment, wearable devices,
smartphones and tablets and others. Automotive applications market is sub
segmented into advanced driver assistance system, airbag deployment system,
security and others. Motion Sensor market is dominated by the consumer
electronics, followed by industrial application. Increasing demand for motion
sensors in smartphones and microwaves is leading to the growing demand of
motion sensors. Consumer electronics market is dominated by smartphones and
tablets, followed by gaming and entertainment. Rising gaming applications are
anticipated to speed up demand for motion sensors, which will further
contribute to the revenue globally. Increasing demand for motion sensors in
wearable devices is expected boost the demand of the market during the forecast
period of 2015 – 2021.
The motion sensor market by region has been
segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC) and Rest of the World
(RoW). In 2014, Europe held the major share of the market, followed by North
America, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW). Consumer electronics
dominates the motion sensor market in Europe. Increasing demand for motion
sensors in smartphone and microwaves are leading to the growing demand of
motion sensors.
