A pressure sensor is a device comprising a pressure-sensitive element designed to ascertain the actual pressure applied to the sensor, employing diverse working principles and additional components to convert this information into an output signal. Its primary function is to measure the pressure of gases or liquids.
The principal categories of pressure sensors encompass absolute pressure sensors, gauge pressure sensors, differential pressure sensors, and others. An absolute pressure sensor employs absolute zero as its reference pressure, measured in relation to a full vacuum. Irrespective of fluctuations in ambient or process temperature, absolute pressure remains precise and accurate, making it suitable for testing against a consistent baseline. Various technologies employed in pressure sensors include piezoresistive, capacitive, resonant solid-state, electromagnetic, optical, piezoelectric, and others. Pressure sensors are available in wired or wireless formats, offering output in either analog or digital. These sensors find application in diverse industries such as automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, healthcare, oil and gas, aerospace and defense, among others.
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 on semiconductor components, sensor assemblies, and raw materials have increased production and import costs for pressure sensors, particularly affecting applications in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics across Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe. These tariffs disrupt supplier networks and delay manufacturing cycles, slowing adoption in cost-sensitive sectors. However, tariffs have also encouraged localized production, stimulated investment in advanced sensor technologies, and reduced dependency on imported components, creating long-term opportunities for regional manufacturing ecosystems.

The pressure sensor market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $15.91 billion in 2025 to $17.38 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in industrial process automation, rising adoption of automotive pressure monitoring, early use in aerospace pressure measurement, increasing demand for consumer electronic sensors, expansion of oil and gas field monitoring.
The pressure sensor market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $24.66 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising need for smart wireless pressure sensors, growth in medical device instrumentation, increasing automation in manufacturing, demand for high precision differential sensors, integration of pressure sensors in connected devices. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of pressure sensors in automotive safety systems, growing adoption in industrial automation equipment, rising demand in consumer electronics devices, expansion of pressure monitoring in medical equipment, increasing deployment in oil and gas monitoring systems.
The growth of the pressure sensor market has been driven by increasing military spending. Pressure sensors are essential in the production of drones and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), which the military utilizes for border defense and offensive operations as needed. For example, in April 2025, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), a Sweden-based think tank, reported that military expenditure increased by 9.4% in 2024, reaching USD 2.718 trillion, the largest annual rise since the end of the Cold War. This rise in military spending has led to heightened demand for drones and UAVs, subsequently boosting the pressure sensor market.
Leading companies in the pressure sensors market are creating innovative products utilizing advanced technologies, such as high-performance barrier coating technology, to improve sensor durability and accuracy in challenging environments. This technology safeguards sensitive components of pressure sensors from harsh environmental factors, including extreme temperatures, moisture, and chemicals, thereby enhancing durability and measurement precision. For example, in September 2023, Baker Hughes, an India-based oil and natural gas company, launched its Druck hydrogen-rated pressure sensors, designed to advance pressure measurement technology specifically for hydrogen applications. These sensors incorporate high-performance barrier coating technology, which protects sensor elements from the harmful effects of prolonged hydrogen exposure, ensuring a minimum lifespan of five years across various pressure ranges, making them suitable for demanding conditions.
In November 2023, Millar Inc., a US-based medical equipment manufacturer, acquired Sentron for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to enhance Millar's capabilities in the MEMS pressure sensor sector, enabling a broader range of solutions in medical technology. Sentron's advanced manufacturing capabilities and technologies will complement Millar's existing products, positioning the combined entity as a comprehensive provider of sensor solutions. Sentron is a US-based company specializing in the development and manufacturing of various sensors, including MEMS pressure sensors.
