Battery-free Sensors Market worth $109 million by 2026

According to the new market research report Battery-free Sensors Market the global Battery-Free Sensors Market size is projected to grow from USD 32 million in 2021 to USD 109 million by 2026; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 27.6% from 2021 to 2026.

With rapid technological advancements, battery-free sensors are increasingly adopted in IoT applications to improve production efficiency and reduce operational and maintenance costs in the wake of COVID-19. Additionally, the ongoing miniaturization of medical and electronic devices and the growing implementation of automated condition monitoring solutions in smart factories are expected to boost the growth of the battery-free sensors market during the forecast period.

Temperature sensors segment held the largest size of the market in 2020. Battery-free sensors are at the initial phase of commercialization. At present, only a few companies are providing battery-free sensors. Among other sensors, temperature sensors are the most common sensors offered by these manufacturers. Temperature sensors account for the largest share due to the high deployment of these sensors by the manufacturing and process industries, such as oil & gas, food & beverages, and automotive industries, in hard-to-reach or remote machinery to monitor the machine condition. The data gathered by these temperature sensors enable effective predictive maintenance programs in industrial plants to avoid costly downtime. These sensors are also maintenance-free, making them preferable for various industrial operations.

Automotive segment is expected to hold the largest share in the battery-free sensors market during the forecast period. Automobile companies across the world are emphasizing on automating and upgrading their assembly lines. Automobile manufacturers adopt battery-free sensors at a significant rate owing to their advantages, such as prediction and prevention of equipment failure by improvising the performance and efficiency of assets and equipment at reduced maintenance costs. Battery-free sensors enable predictive maintenance and help efficient handling of assembly operations in the automotive industry. Hence, the automotive industry is expected to capture the largest market share throughout the forecast period. Automobile original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and players within the mobility industry are among the worst hit by the COVID-19pandemic. Automobile OEMs increasingly rely on just-in-time manufacturing, which is presently affecting their production capabilities and overall exports owing to supply chain disruptions.
