Humidity Sensors Market worth over $1bn by 2027

Humidity Sensors Market size is set to surpass USD 1 billion by 2027, according to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

The market growth is due to the rising integration of these sensors in the food & beverage sector. The presence of humidity and moisture in food & beverage processing units leads to mold & bacterial growth. This may result in decreasing product quality & shelf life of the food & beverage products. The companies are, therefore, integrating advance sensors to measure humidity in food & beverage manufacturing, processing, and packaging facilities to improve the product quality and reduce the food spoilage.
 

Favorable government initiatives supporting the modernization of manufacturing facilities to integrate sensor automation will fuel the market expansion. For instance, in March 2021, the government of Australia announced a funding of up to USD 993 million for regional F&B manufacturers under its Modern Manufacturing Initiative (MMI) scheme. Through this initiative, the government aims to scale up local food & beverage production in the country, which is expected to stimulate the growth opportunities in the coming years.

Sustainability issues associated with humidity sensors are one of the major factors restraining the market progression. These sensors are unable to adapt to large changes in atmospheric environments. For instance, when the sensor is moved from the low to the high-humidity region, it reflects inaccuracies such as non-linearity and offset errors. Adding to this, these sensors are integrated with brass filters that get eroded when operating in extreme humid environments, further hampering the industry growth. To overcome this, manufacturers are emphasizing on developing sensors with newer materials, such as stainless steel and aluminum, which is poised to contribute to the industry expansion.

The resistive segment in the humidity sensors market held 25% of the market share in 2020 and is projected to witness 5.5% growth rate through 2027. The growth can be credited to several advantages offered by resistive sensors such as high accuracy, stability, and producing repeatable results in relatively humid environments. These sensors are integrated with low-resistive materials, such as ceramics and polymers, providing lower device footprint and lesser calibrations. These features increase their adoption in environmental monitoring and agricultural applications. Companies are focusing on integrating IoT technology in resistive sensors to achieve a competitive advantage among other players.

Growing analog output requirement for high accuracy in the medical & healthcare industry will propel the market revenue

The analog output segment is estimated to attain a CAGR of5% till 2027. The industry progression is driven by low costs and high simplicity features, provided by analog output-based sensors. These features along with low power consumption and small size increase the demand for analog sensors in medical & healthcare devices such as ventilators, infusion pumps, and oxygen concentrators. In April 2020, Texas Instruments Incorporated launched humidity sensors with analog output. The new sensor offers absolute linearity from 0-100% in humid environments. The new sensor is designed for applications in consumer electronics, home appliances, and medical devices. Adding to this, the industry participants are integrating Analog to Digital (A/D) converters in their sensor offerings to improve output resolution & accuracy.
 

Proliferation of passenger cars will add opportunities for the market

The automotive segment accounted for 20% of revenue share in 2020 and will grow at a CAGR of 7% by 2027. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing usage of humidity sensors in various automotive systems such as dew-point system, automotive HVAC, and cabin climate control systems. These sensors also help to prevent windscreen fogging inside the vehicle cabin and are also used to monitor the air intake of passenger cars. The post COVID-19 phase increased the acceptance of passenger cars around the globe.
