Temperature Sensor Market, A Study of major Sensor types (ICs, Thermostat, Thermistor, Resistive Temperature Detectors (RTDs), Thermocouple) & Applications, Global Forecast & Analysis 2011 - 2016
Temperature sensors are expected to witness tremendous growth as they are
widely used across different application segments. Currently, the market is
dominated by contact type sensors like thermocouples and RTDs but we predict
strong competition between contact and noncontact temperature sensing
technologies in future. Noncontact temperature sensors are dominated by IR
temperature sensors and increasingly used for use in high-temperature
applications. IR sensing is highly recommended in the food and beverage
industry, plastic industry, metal industry, etc.
Due to improved sensitivity, temperature sensors are used for loads of
applications such as petrochemicals, automotive segments, consumer
electronics, computer peripherals, space applications, and industrial segment.
There is rise in demand for consumer electronic devices, which uses
microprocessors such as smart phones, media players, cameras and gaming
devices that use temperature sensors ICs to a greater extent. Acceptance of
non contact temperature in many application segments will add on to the
consumption of temperature sensors in future. Safety related mandates in
regions like North America and Europe are acting as a driver to the growth of
temperature sensors.
Technological advancement is opening new doors to the temperature sensors with
regards to aerospace & defense application. They are holding very small market
share but bright future is expected. Temperature sensor ICs and IR sensors are
expected to play a lead role in the overall sensors market in the future.
Sensors like RTD and certain thermocouples used for industrial and process
applications are costlier than sensors that are used in the consumer and
automotive segment. This allows technologies like IR to evolve in terms of
technology and provide cost effective solution.
The market size of temperature sensors in the year 2010 was $3.27 billion and
is expected to reach $4.51 billion units by 2016, at an estimated CAGR of
5.6%. In terms of volume, the unit shipment for temperature sensors was 2.02
billion units in the year 2010 and is expected to reach 3.54 billion units by
2016, at an estimated CAGR of 10%from 2011 to 2016.
Temperature sensor market is triggered due to a lot of factors. For the
temperature sensor market, vehicle production in emerging markets, increasing
government intervention, availability of strong aftermarket, and continuous
demand from consumer electronics and computing peripherals are acting as
drivers. Competition within the technologies, pricing, and maturity of
critical end-user segments are acting as restraints. Technological advancement
and emergence of MEMS in temperature sensing are the future opportunities for
temperature sensors.

Sumarry
The largest application segment for temperature sensors is the petrochemical
segment, together with related process applications. The electronics segment
follows as the second largest application segment for temperature sensors. The
petrochemical and related process market is comparatively mature industry but
the consumption of temperature sensors is expected to continue to grow in
automotive segment as car manufacturers find more ways to integrate
sensor-related features on their production vehicles. In the automotive
industry the temperature sensors are improving passengers comfort, engine's
efficiency and performance. New temperature sensors such as the IR temperature
sensor offer several key advantages. They allow contactless and consequently
corrosion-free measurement of temperature. These devices have gained immense
popularity in food and beverage industry and chemical segment.
A thermocouple (type of temperature sensor) is a device consisting of two
different conductors (usually metal alloys) that produce a voltage,
proportional to the temperature difference, between either end of the two
conductors. Thermocouples are a widely used type of temperature sensor for
measurement and control and can also be used to convert a temperature gradient
into electricity. They are inexpensive, interchangeable, are supplied with
standard connectors, and can measure a wide range of temperatures. In contrast
to most other methods of temperature measurement, thermocouples are self
powered and require no external form of excitation. The main limitation with
thermocouples is accuracy and system errors of less than one degree Celsius C
can be difficult to achieve.
Currently market is dominated by contact type sensors like thermocouples and
RTDs but we predict strong competition between contact and noncontact
temperature sensing technologies in future. Noncontact temperature sensors are
dominated by IR temperature sensors and they are increasingly used for use in
high-temperature applications. IR sensing is highly recommended in the food
and beverage industry, plastic industry, metal industry and many more. Many
tier one companies are investing in research and development to improve the
existing noncontact IR temperature sensing technologies and to develop newer
ones.
Companies such as Texas Instruments (U.S.), Maxim Integrated Products (U.S.),
Analog Devices (U.S.), Sensata Technologies (U.S.), STMicroelectronics NV
(Europe), Micron Technology (U.S.), CTS Corporation (U.S.) & Microchip
Technology (U.S.) are few of the key players in the market. Texas Instruments
(U.S.) has recently acquired National Semiconductors which has solidified
their analog business which includes temperature sensor.
