Global Automotive Temperature And Humidity Sensors Market

Temperature sensing and humidity sensing are among the most important and well-established functions in automobile electronics. They are helpful in climate control and power-train applications. Automotive temperature sensors are used to measure the temperature at many places in an automobile: to measure engine temperature, engine oil temperature, exhaust gas temperature, fuel temperature, cabin temperature, etc. Humidity sensor senses, measure, and reports the moisture level in the air, the relative humidity is a vital factor in maintaining cabin comfort.

These sensors are becoming increasingly important as there is growing consciousness about environmental cost, carbon foot print, and more energy efficient systems.

The sensor market is mostly high volume, though the technology is vital, it is often not about making a great sensor rather making 10 million sensors cheaply. So operations and cost reduction play a major role in the strategy of the temperature and humidity sensor manufacturing companies.

Market Dynamics

As the role of electronics in automobiles has grown over the last decade, the market for these sensors have grown concomitantly. Demand is rising for temperature and humidity sensors in new cars which are more oriented towards convenience and environmental features. Moreover, the automobile market will grow rapidly especially in the emerging markets like India, China, Brazil, Southeast Asia and North Africa. The automotive market will be the fastest growing electronic systems market and its sales will have a CAGR of 5.4% from 2016 to 2021.

The original equipment manufacturers of vehicles do not generally make or develop the sensors they use. The system suppliers to the OEMs do much of the coordination on development themselves. There is much opportunity for in small companies to make breakthrough in automotive vehicle sensors, there is ample room for creativity and clever application of existing technology.

Market Segmentation

The market for automotive temperature sensor can be segmented based on application - to measure engine temperature, engine oil temperature, exhaust gas temperature, fuel temperature, cabin temperature. Another possible segmentation is the technology used in the temperature or humidity sensor. For instance, there are thermistor based temperature sensors, thermocouple based temperature sensors, infrared devices, etc.,

Regional/Geographic Analysis

Many automobile makers are setting up their factories in the emerging markets due to low labour cost, attractive investment climate, and availability of a large market. So the demand for automotive temperature sensors will be regardless of geography. However, since there is price competition, it is strategically prudent to locate the sensor manufacturing industries close to the target market.
