New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/20/2016 -- Non-optical semiconductor sensors include magnetic sensors, inertial sensors, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors, among others. Inertial sensors comprise accelerometers and gyroscopes. Key end-user segments include automotive, consumer electronics, industrial, chemical, oil and gas, defense, among others. Accelerometers are dominant product type in inertial sensors category and are expected to register robust growth over the coming years. Accelerometers find major application in automotive sector; however, their application in other applications including gaming peripherals such as golf and tennis swing simulators, and as rotational sensors in mobile phones and GPS navigational aids has been experiencing significant growth. Demand for magnetic sensors is driven by growing use of mobile phones. Non-optical pressure sensors include piezo-resistive, electromagnetic, resonant solid state and capacitive sensors. These sensors are finding increased application across different sectors including automotive, petrochemicals, consumer electronics, industrial and utilities.

However, these pressure sensors are increasingly facing competition from optical pressure sensors. It is anticipated that non-optical temperature sensors would find increasing demand across different application segments driven by the strong emergence of aftermarket sales and government regulations. Currently, the temperature sensors market is being dominated by contact type sensors such as RTDs (resistance temperature detectors) and thermocouples but non-contact temperature sensing technologies such as infrared (IR) temperature sensors are also expected to find increasing demand in coming future. IR sensors growth is anticipated to be driven by increasing demand in the plastic, food and beverage, and metal industry, among others. In the recent years, emergence of MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) sensors has been a major growth driver for non-optic semiconductor sensors. The growing demand of MEMS sensors is driven by increasing demand for miniaturization of sensors among end-users. A major future opportunity in non-optic semiconductor sensors market is wearable electronics.
