Sensor Hub Global Market Report 2026

A sensor hub serves as a specialized processor that collects and manages data from multiple sensors, reducing the workload on the main processor and improving efficiency. Its purpose is to handle sensor data processing independently from the device's primary CPU, thereby conserving battery life and enhancing overall performance.

There are several types of main processors for sensor hubs, including application sensor processors, discrete sensor processors, sensor-integrated microcontrollers, and others. Application sensor processors typically include biochips that integrate sensors for detecting specific biological elements and processors for analyzing and processing the signals. These sensor hubs are utilized across various devices such as smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, IoT, and connected devices, serving different applications such as positioning, health monitoring, augmented reality, gaming, voice control, gesture navigation, and more. End-users of sensor hubs span across consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, military, healthcare, telecommunications, and other sectors.

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 sensor hub market by increasing costs for imported semiconductors, microcontrollers, and advanced packaging components used in sensor processing units.

The rising popularity of digitalization is expected to drive the growth of the sensor hub market going forward. Digitalization refers to the adoption of digital technologies across business operations and daily activities to transform workflows and improve efficiency. The increasing embrace of digitalization is primarily fueled by the expansion of smart devices and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, as both businesses and consumers increasingly depend on interconnected systems for automation, data gathering, and real-time decision-making. Growing digitalization enhances the demand for sensor hubs, as these components function as central processors that consolidate multiple sensors, regulate data flow, and facilitate seamless communication among connected devices within digital ecosystems. For example, in August 2024, Eurostat, the Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union, reported that in 2023, 59% of enterprises in the EU had achieved at least a basic level of digital intensity. This included 58% of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and 91% of large enterprises. Therefore, the increase in digitalization is propelling the growth of the sensor hub market.

Leading companies in the sensor hub market are innovating with IoT sensor engineering kits utilizing printed electronics technologies. These kits provide tools and components to facilitate the creation and prototyping of IoT sensors. Henkel, for instance, launched the Sensor INKxperience Kit in February 2023, showcasing innovative inks for smart product applications. The kit includes technologies such as leak detection sensors, non-contact liquid level sensors, PTC heaters, and force-sensitive resistors (FSR), pre-configured with hardware and software for rapid data readout. This facilitates easier design, prototyping, and engineering of next-generation IoT sensors, supporting the advancement of digitalization initiatives across various industries.
