Temperature Sensor Market worth $8.0 billion by 2028

According to a new market research report, Temperature Sensor Market With COVID-19 Impact, published by MarketsandMarkets, the market is estimated to be valued at USD 5.9 billion in 2021 and reach USD 8.0 billion by 2028; it is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period (2021–2028).

The continuous demand for temperature sensors, which are integrated into devices like wearable bands, smartphones, and patient monitoring devices, from industries such as consumer electronics and healthcare is driving the temperature sensor market growth.

For the past few years, the demand for reliable, high-performance, and low-cost sensors has been increasing, leading to the development of new technologies like micro and nanotechnology, which provides benefits such as miniaturization, low power consumption, and mass production.

Wireless temperature sensors are expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Industrial automation and demand for miniaturized consumer devices, such as wearables and IoT-connected devices, across regions, are key factors driving the wireless segment of the temperature sensor market.

Contact temperature sensors are expected to account for ~86% share of the overall market by 2028. This segment is likely to continue holding a larger market share than the non-contact temperature sensors segment during the forecast period, due to the use of contact temperature sensors for detecting solid, liquid, or gaseous elements covering a wide range of materials. Contact temperature sensors are widely used in the chemicals, consumer electronics, oil & gas, energy & power, and automotive industries, owing to their low cost, wide temperature range, and high accuracy.
