Evolution of Industry 4.0 Drives Europe Temperature Sensor Market
The introduction of Industry 4.0 brings several advances in the efficiency and productivity of industrial processes. Several industries use temperature sensors for generating real-time data based on temperature variation. Industries use this data for process optimization, predictive maintenance, and quality control, which further leads to a reduction in downtime, creating opportunities in the market. Temperature sensors are deployed to monitor complex industrial instruments and machines for monitoring their temperature range to maintain operational efficiency. The evolution of Industry 4.0 encourages technological advancements in nations, which creates opportunities for market growth.
Temperature sensors are crucial for smart factories and Industry 4.0 for enabling advanced automation, smart manufacturing, and data-driven decision-making activities. Temperature sensors are essential for measuring the temperature of various components, including motors, engines, and machines in smart factories. Temperature sensor enables continuous monitoring, which allows smart factories to identify deviations or inefficiencies in the processes by allowing real-time adjustments to improve productivity and reduce energy consumption. Temperature sensors are primarily used in Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing. It helps in detecting overheating and abnormal temperature in the machinery and equipment by ensuing efficient operations and automation within modern industrial facilities. Thus, the growth in the smart manufacturing process is creating opportunities in the market.
Rising investment in smart city projects and growing city management initiatives further generate opportunities for market growth. For instance, in May 2022, the European Commission announced the participation of 100 climate-neutral and smart cities in the Cities Mission by 2030. The Cities Mission will receive funding of US$ 378.2 million to start research and innovation paths toward climate neutrality by 2030. These research and innovation actions are projected to address clean mobility, green urban planning, and energy efficiency and offer the possibility of collaborations in synergies with other EU programs. Temperature sensors are deployed in smart city projects for collecting real-time temperature variation data. This data helps urban planners in the designing of green roofs, reflective pavement, and urban forests to combat rising temperatures, which is expected to create opportunities in the market during the forecast period.
Europe Temperature Sensor Market Overview
The aerospace & defense sector in Europe is a crucial contributor to the region's economy. According to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, the overall 2023 general aviation shipments and billings, when compared to 2022, saw an increment in all aircraft segments, in shipments, and preliminary aircraft deliveries which were valued at US$ 27.8 billion, an increase of 3.6%. As almost all aircraft require temperature sensors to perform flawlessly and to monitor the temperatures of turbine blades and other critical components, the increase in aircraft deliveries simultaneously drives the market for temperature sensors. The demand for these sensors is also increasing in military applications, such as in military ground vehicles, where temperature sensors are employed to monitor engine and transmission temperatures, ensuring optimal performance in diverse operational environments. Further, a consistent growth in military spending has been observed for seven consecutive years. According to the European Defense Agency, European military spending was US$ 231 billion in 2021, a 6% increase from 2020.
Various companies in Europe are taking initiatives in the temperature sensor market to expand their portfolio, such as partnerships and product launches. For instance, in August 2023, Greece's prime minister announced the launch of forest temperature sensors to improve preventive firefighting after criticism from climate activists over a devastating wildfire burning for almost two weeks. Similarly, in January 2024, Monnit announced that its ALTA Wireless Standard Enterprise and industrial temperature sensors are certified for Europe's EN12830 cold chain traceability standard. Hence, the growth of the aerospace & defense industry and new launches of temperature sensors are boosting the temperature sensor market growth in Europe.
