A microelectronic residual chlorine sensor is a compact electronic device designed to detect and quantify residual chlorine levels in water and other fluids. By leveraging microelectronic components and sensing technology, it provides accurate, real-time monitoring of chlorine concentrations, helping ensure water quality and safety in applications such as water treatment, environmental monitoring, and industrial processes. The sensor converts chemical information into electrical signals for analysis and control.
The primary types of microelectronic residual chlorine sensors are amperometric and potentiometric sensors. Amperometric sensors detect chlorine by measuring the current generated during its electrochemical oxidation or reduction in a solution. These sensors use technologies such as electrochemical and optical sensing. Applications span smart homes, the food and medical industries, agriculture, and more. End users include municipal water treatment facilities, industrial and commercial sectors, and residential users.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have impacted the microelectronic residual chlorine sensor market by increasing import costs for specialized sensing components and manufacturing equipment, particularly affecting electrochemical and optical sensor segments. Regions such as Asia-Pacific and Europe, which rely heavily on cross-border supply chains for high-precision sensors, are most affected. While tariffs may increase production costs, they also encourage local manufacturing and innovation in sensor technologies, driving development of cost-efficient and locally produced solutions.

It will grow from $1.42 billion in 2025 to $1.56 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising urbanization, increasing waterborne diseases, adoption of electrochemical sensors, regulatory mandates for water quality, growth in municipal water treatment.
The microelectronic residual chlorine sensor market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.25 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to demand for smart water monitoring, integration with iot and cloud platforms, innovations in optical sensing technology, expansion of industrial water treatment, growth in agriculture and food industry water safety. Major trends in the forecast period include miniaturization and high-precision sensing, real-time water quality monitoring, integration with industrial automation systems, advanced electrochemical and optical sensing, remote monitoring and data analytics.
The rising demand for safer drinking water is expected to drive the growth of the microelectronic residual chlorine sensor market in the future. Safer drinking water means water that is free from harmful contaminants and complies with health and safety standards for human consumption. This demand is growing as consumers become more health-conscious, with increased awareness of waterborne illnesses and the importance of clean, reliable water supplies. Microelectronic residual chlorine sensors improve water safety systems by offering precise, real-time monitoring of chlorine levels from treatment facilities to distribution networks. For instance, in April 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a US-based government agency, reported that by the end of March 2023, the FY 2023 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) had awarded over US $5.1 billion to states, territories, and tribes under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's water-infrastructure program, marking an increase compared to the previous year. Thus, the increasing demand for safer drinking water is boosting the growth of the microelectronic residual chlorine sensor market.
Leading companies in the microelectronic residual chlorine sensor market are advancing technologies such as amperometric sensing to improve the accuracy and efficiency of chlorine detection. Amperometric sensing is a technique that measures the concentration of a chemical by monitoring the electric current generated when the substance undergoes oxidation or reduction at an electrode under a fixed voltage. For instance, in April 2025, ABB Ltd., a Switzerland-based industrial technology firm, introduced the ChloroStar series of analyzers, designed for accurate and continuous monitoring of residual chlorine in water treatment and industrial processes. These analyzers use a direct-contact electrode cell with continuous sample flow cleaning, making them ideal for challenging environments such as wastewater and industrial effluents. Key benefits include enhanced measurement precision, lower maintenance needs, and up to 20% reduction in consumable costs, enabling more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective chlorine monitoring in municipal and industrial settings.
In February 2024, ABB Ltd., a Switzerland-based provider of industrial automation, robotics, electrification, and water management solutions, acquired Real Tech Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition expanded ABB's smart water management offerings by incorporating Real Tech's advanced optical sensors for real-time monitoring of residual chlorine and other water quality metrics, strengthening its position in municipal and industrial water treatment markets. Real Tech Inc. is a US-based company specializing in water quality monitoring and testing technologies.
