The global non-optical pressure sensor market is estimated to be valued at US$2.445 billion in 2019 and is projected to grow at a healthy CAGR during the forecast period. Pressure sensors are referred to as devices that are equipped with pressure-sensing elements for the measurement of pressure and finally covert the value into an electronic signal in the form of output. The market is projected to hold strong prospects for growth in the forecast period due to the immense applications of pressure sensors across varied end-use industries. For example, in HVAC systems, pressure systems are utilized for monitoring the condition of air filters.
As filters clog with particulates, the differential pressure across the filter rises and this can be detected. The improved GPS location is offered by the use of pressure sensors. An attitude can be measured through the detection of barometric pressure due to an association between the barometric pressure and altitude in the atmosphere. Furthermore, pressure sensors are utilized in wearables for the monitoring of patients and the elderly in assisted living environments. In the case of an event, like a fall, the sensors bring it to the notice of medical staff or a family member. The mechanism lies in the measurement of small changes in air pressure by the pressure sensor.
In the present COVID-19 scenario, the use of pressure sensors in medical ventilators is fueling the market demand in 2020 owing to the surging demand for ventilators for the treatment of patients suffering from the deadly disease. However, in other industries, the market is projected to experience a slight decline in 2020 owing to the shutting down of manufacturing operations due to labor shortages, work-from-home, and lockdown initiatives. Also, with the advent of optical pressure sensors and their better performance compared to the traditional pressure sensors, the market growth is projected to hamper in the forecast period.
By Geography, the market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific regions. Out of them, Asia Pacific region is predicted to hold a significant market share in the global non-optical pressure sensor market owing to the growth of industrial manufacturing companies in the region along with the growing industrialization.
The growing utilization of automated drug delivery systems is fueling the market growth during the course of the forecast period.
It has been observed that pressure sensors are placed in automated drug delivery systems to deliver proper dosage to the patients. Hence, the market is projected to grow at a significant pace over the next five years. The major factors supporting the growth of the utilization of drug delivery systems include a growing number of chronic diseases like diabetes and respiratory diseases. In addition, the growing geriatric population suffering from age-associated diseases is further propelling the market demand. It has been predicted by the National Institutes of Health that the diabetes prevalence in America is predicted to rise by 54% affecting over 54.9 million Americans between 2015-2030. Also, annual deaths due to diabetes are predicted to surge by 38% to 385,800. The total annual medical and societal costs linked to diabetes are predicted to rise around 53% to over USD622 billion by the end of 2030. Significant efforts are being made towards effective diabetes management. The emergence of advanced insulin delivery systems with automated dispensing systems is providing relief for many patients suffering from this disease. According to the USFDA news release in December 2019, the organization announced the authorization of the first interoperable automated glycemic controller device that is capable of automatically adjusting the insulin delivery to a diabetic patient. The automated insulin dosing (AID) system consists of a pump, a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), and software for controlling the system of compatible devices. With automated dispensing devices increasingly present in varied healthcare organizations, the market is propelled to grow during the forecast period. In addition, the shift to direct patient care, changes in healthcare systems, and cost-reduction pressures is further offering high growth prospects for automated drug delivery systems to proliferate, further contributing to surging the market growth during the course of the forecast period. The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists approved the use of automated drug dispensing system distribution as this has contributed to releasing the pharmacists from labor-intensive drug distribution functions.
