Force sensors are also known as force transducers that converts an input mechanical force into an electrical output signal. It act as a force-sensing resistor in an electric circuit. It has various benefits such as flexibility and ultra-thin sensor construction, which leads to minimal interference in normal action of device and precise response. The global force sensor market will reach 3.12 billion USD by 2025 from 2.16 billion USD in 2018 with a CAGR of 5.41% during the period.
Growth by Region
North America is dominating the market due to technological advancements and increasing adoption among various applications. Asia – Pacific will also grow at significant rate owing to rising investments.
Drivers vs Constraints
Low manufacturing cost, technological development, growing implementation in the medical devices improvement, high growth of industrial robots and increase in demand for reliable products are the major factors for the growth of the market. On the other hand, underdeveloped aftermarket sales channels and instability in demand across various end users are hampering the market growth.
