Industry 4.0 detonates the world. Where is the future growth point of sensors?
2025-04-03
Small and exquisite sensor equipment has brought a huge impact to our lives. In the field of industrial automation, the sensor, as a mechanical touch, is the primary link to realize industrial automatic detection and automatic control. Especially in the automated production process, these unremarkable but vital devices will transform data streams into meaningful decisions.

The global market continues to heat up
With the deepening of the "Industry 4.0" concept, the global sensor market space has once again been expanded. It is predicted that from 2016 to 2021, the compound annual growth rate of sensors is expected to be 11%, and the market size will reach 190.6 billion US dollars by 2021. At present, the global sensor market is dominated by several leading companies in the United States, Japan, and Germany. Traditional electronics giants such as Bosch, Honeywell, Freescale, Hitachi, etc., all regard sensors as their main growth point for future business.
In China, the growth rate of the sensor market has also continued to accelerate, and the sensor market is expected to exceed 180 billion yuan in 2020. Sensor manufacturing companies concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta region have gradually expanded to form a regional spatial layout dominated by central cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Shenzhen, Shenyang and Xi'an.
The globalization of the sensor market seems to reveal the arrival of the era of big data.
The Internet of Things opens up the breadth of applications
When the industrial Internet of Things is gradually rising, it has even more driven the development of data collectors-sensors. From a national perspective, based on the integration strategy of industrialization and informatization, the government vigorously promotes the deep penetration of Internet of Things technology into traditional industries, making sensors the best breakthrough for improving my country's modern information technology and driving the development of industrialization. From a technical perspective, sensors that undertake the important task of data collection and transmission, guided by the field of Internet of Things, are developing towards intelligence, miniaturization, integration, networking, multi-function, and low power consumption.
The continuous advancement of the Internet of Things has also broadened the application areas of sensors. It is understood that the most current sensor applications in China are in the industrial and automotive fields, and the fastest growing is the automotive electronics and communications electronics application market. In addition, sensors also have broad application space in fields such as smart agriculture, smart transportation, smart buildings, smart environmental protection, smart grids, health care, and smart wearables.
So, in the field of industrial automation, which industries are the key to detonating sensor applications, and which emerging industries will many sensor companies target?
Automobile manufacturing: sensor applications will last forever
After years of development, the Chinese auto market has become one of the fastest growing auto markets in the world. As China's car sales increase, sensor applications have also grown rapidly. Miniaturized, multifunctional, integrated and intelligent sensors will gradually replace traditional sensors and become the mainstream of automotive sensors.
In addition to configuring the sensor system for the car, in the car manufacturing process, the application of the sensor is not new. In the process of automobile production automation, the position detection of parts has become an important part of sensor application, and it is also the link with the highest requirements for sensors. In order to meet high-precision detection, high-precision sensors have been widely used in automotive parts processing, engine manufacturing, and auto factory stamping, painting, welding, assembly and other automated production detection.
