The increasing need for ultrasonic sensors from manufacturing industries is one of the biggest factors propelling the demand for these sensors across the world. In manufacturing industries, the ultrasonic sensors are used in a plethora of applications such as diameter measurement of roll, tank water level measurement, loop control, distance measurement, and height measurement. Owing to the soaring industrial production in developing nations, the demand for ultrasonic sensors will rise significantly especially in level measurement applications. For instance, it was recorded in September, 2019 that the industrial production in Turkey registered a year-on-year (YoY) growth rate of 3.4%.
The burgeoning utilization of ultrasonic sensors in automobiles is another factor pushing their demand across the world. These sensors are used in a wide array of applications in automobiles such as in object detection and identification, park assistant systems, and level sensing in fuel tanks.
Due to the above-mentioned factors, the ultrasonic sensor market is expected to increase its value from $4.1 billion in 2019 to $12.1 billion by 2030, demonstrating a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period (2020—2030). Ultrasonic sensors are widely used in industrial, automotive, healthcare, food & beverage, and agricultural sectors. Amongst these, the automotive sector is expected to observe the fastest growth in the adoption of ultrasonic sensors during the forecast period, primarily due to the rising demand for these sensors for use in self-driving cars for obstacle detection.
