Pressure Sensors Industry Market Analysis by Mordor Intelligence

The pressure sensors market size is valued at USD 19.93 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 31.18 billion by 2030, advancing at a 9.37% CAGR. Strong demand stems from electrified power-train control, smart-factory retrofits, and disposable medical devices that require precise pressure monitoring for safety and efficiency. Electrification mandates in Asia-Pacific are accelerating adoption of high-accuracy barometric sensors in xEV battery-thermal systems, while Industry 4.0 upgrades across Europe and North America favor wireless nodes that cut installation cost. Medical device miniaturization, especially in cardiovascular catheters, is opening a sizeable opportunity for single-use MEMS designs that meet sterilization standards. At the same time, harsh-environment exploration—such as LNG carrier fleets—creates premium demand for silicon-carbide and optical technologies capable of surviving >175 °C process lines. Competitive intensity is rising: incumbents embed AI engines at the edge to defend margins, whereas Chinese white-label MEMS foundries scale volume and depress average selling prices.

Segment Analysis

By Connectivity: Wired dominance faces wireless disruption

Wired devices retained 72% revenue in 2024 due to deterministic data delivery in power-rich settings such as engine control units and surgical theaters. However, wireless nodes will outpace with a 12.8% CAGR as factories retrofit to Industry 4.0. Smart Control retrofit kits cut installation expense by 40% while enabling predictive shutdowns for pressure vessels. Power-over-Ethernet upgrades are keeping wired sensors relevant by multiplexing power and data on a single line. Wireless nodes leverage energy harvesting and edge compute, allowing placement on rotating shafts or sealed chambers once considered unreachable.

By Product Type: Absolute sensors lead despite differential growth

Absolute designs held 46% share in 2024 because manifold pressure, weather logging, and drone altimetry require vacuum-referenced readings. Differential units will see a 10.4% CAGR thanks to HVAC retrofits and filtration monitoring in cleanrooms. Recent wet-etch silicon fabrication pushed sensitivity to 5.07 mV/V/MPa with 0.67% FS linearity. Gauge units remain staple devices in hydraulics but exhibit only mid-single-digit growth.[3]MDPI, “IEEE 802.15.6 and LoRaWAN for WBAN in Healthcare: A Comparative Study,” mdpi.com

By Technology: Piezoresistive leadership challenged by optical innovation

Piezoresistive chips captured 24% revenue in 2024 through cost-effective CMOS line sharing. Optical devices, growing at 14.2% CAGR, attract subsea and medical OEMs seeking EMI immunity. Leadless silicon-carbide variants now survive from –50 °C to 600 °C while holding 0.18% FSO stability. AI micro-controllers inside piezoresistive MEMS enable on-die calibration, shrinking offset drift and creating self-healing firmware updates.

By Application: Automotive dominance yields to medical innovation

Automotive consumed 21% of 2024 revenue as TPMS, EGR, and battery packs relied on robust sensing. Yet medical devices are set to expand 11.5% each year because single-use catheters reduce infection risk and meet outpatient reimbursement models. Soft 3-D piezoresistive patches paired with Bluetooth modules now monitor blood pressure post-angioplasty from the patient’s home.

Geography Analysis

Asia-Pacific’s 36% leadership stems from China’s MEMS fabs and India’s TPMS mandates. The National Highways expansion and 5,293 EV charging stations catalyze sensor content per vehicle. Local producers are closing the technology gap; Major players notes domestic suppliers are integrating AI into automotive perception stacks. Europe leverages its industrial automation heritage; Infineon’s EUR 5 billion Dresden Smart Power Fab underscores strategic semiconductor self-reliance. North America excels in aerospace and medical segments, with DARPA-funded research pushing sensing frontiers. The Middle East & Africa posts the fastest 12.22% CAGR on LNG projects needing subsea instrumentation, complemented by smart-city infrastructure that seeds wireless deployments.
