The internet of things, or IoT, is a collection of interconnected smart devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals, or people supplied with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transmit data across a network without needing human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. IoT sensors are used in healthcare, automotive, transportation, manufacturing, and other industrial sectors.
The main type of IOT sensors are temperature sensors, pressure sensors, humidity sensors, flow sensors, accelerometers, magnetometers, gyroscopes, inertial sensors, image sensors and others. Temperature sensors help in monitoring the temperature of a ship to log it automatically. The IOT sensors are applied across various areas such as building automation, industrial application, automotive application, healthcare application, retailing & logistics application, security application, agriculture application, other applications and used in healthcare, automotive and transportation, manufacturing/ industrial, others.
The global IoT sensors market is segmented -
1) By Product Type: Temperature sensors, Pressure sensors, Humidity sensors, Flow sensors, Accelerometers, Magnetometers, Gyroscopes, Inertial sensors, Image sensors, Other Product Types
2) By Application: Building Automation, Industrial Application, Automotive Application, Healthcare Application, Retailing & Logistics Application, Security Application, Agriculture Application, Other Applications

The global IoT sensors market will grow from $6.2 billion in 2022 to $6.64 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size in global IoT sensors market is expected to grow to $8.67 billion in 2027 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%.
The application of IoT in automotive and transport sectors is a key factor driving the growth of the IoT sensors market. The introduction of IoT in the automotive industry has opened up new opportunities for carmakers and consumers worldwide. With industrial and commercial use, IoT has become a popular hotspot for varied multifunctional applications in the automotive sector. IoT offers enhanced communication, control, and data delivery at any transportation point. For instance, the companies like Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Volvo, Toyota and Google Inc. are increasingly investing in developing smart cars with rich features that offer healthier, more convenient and more enjoyable driving experiences. The driverless vehicles are likely to dominate the industry by 2030 according to NASDAQ estimates. Therefore, the application of IoT in automotive and transport industries is expected to drive the growth of the IoT sensors market.
Major players in the IoT sensors market are Texas Instruments, TE Connectivity, NXP Semiconductors, STMicroelectronics, TDK Corporation, Infineon Technologies, Omron, Honeywell, Sensata Technologies, and Broadcom.
The data security concerns are a key factor hampering the growth of the IoT sensors market. The rate of data intrusions is also increasingly growing with the rising technology. IoT systems are being newly built, and safety requirements are lacking, this serves as a major obstacle to the growth of the market for IoT sensors, since enterprise data protection is of great importance when designing analytical solutions for many vertical applications. For instance, a group of researchers from Ruhr University Bochum in Germany identified a security problem in the common messaging apps WhatsApp which could allow hackers to spy on private group chats. According to Forbes, in 2021, 97% of the firms are impacted by a cybersecurity breach in their supply chain and 93% of them suffered a direct cybersecurity breach. Therefore, the data security concerns are expected to limit the growth of the IoT sensors market.
The artificial intelligence is a key trend in the IoT sensors market. Artificial intelligence is the basic ingredient required to process the huge amount of data gathered these days, and to maximize its value for the company. AI will assist IoT data analysis in the following areas, such as data accuracy in time series, predictive and advanced analytics, data preparation, geospatial and location real-time (logistic data). In 2020, based on their AI capabilities, the major cloud vendors, including Amazon, Microsoft and Google, are increasingly looking to succeed. Various companies hope to expand their market share with AI algorithms capable of exploiting machine learning and deep learning, allowing businesses to derive more value from their ever-increasing data volumes.
In July 2021, Taoglas, an Ireland-based provider of advanced antennas and next-generation IoT solutions, acquired Smartsensor Technologies for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Taoglas to expand their industrial and enterprise-level IoT services and accelerates their connected smart services growth objectives. Smartsensor Technologies is an Australia-based full-service Internet of Things company.
