Temperature Sensors in Automotive Market Analysis

The Automotive Temperature Sensor Market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.17% during the forecast period.

  • Government organizations in many countries are implementing safety and emission control standards that mandate the installation of sensors. Automotive companies are thereby required to comply with these safety and emission control regulations set by these authorities. This trend is expected to increase the demand for automotive temperature sensors over the forecast period.
  • In line with this trend, companies such as MS Motorservice International GmbH, in 2018, launched aftermarket exhaust gas temperature sensors that feature temperature resistance in the range from - 40° to + 1,000°C and exceptional accuracy. These sensors monitor the hot exhaust gas flow and protect temperature-sensitive components, like turbochargers from overheating. In the case of critical overheating, the control unit responds with suitable actions to reduce the temperature, for example, reducing the performance.
  • Moreover, the growing automotive HVAC market, which is facilitating the broader adoption of temperature sensors, is one of the major trends contributing to the growth of the automotive temperature sensor market. Temperature sensors are the most commonly used sensors for HVAC as they can monitor ambient conditions inside a car.
  • Along with the aforementioned factors, increasing adoption of electric vehicles is also favoring the market growth over the forecast period as these vehicles also require temperature monitoring. Companies such as Sensor Scientific Inc. is developing thermistor temperature sensors for electric cars.

Temperature Sensors in Automotive Industry Overview

The automotive temperature sensor market is competitive and consists of several players. The companies in the market continuously trying to increase their market presence by introducing new products, expanding their operations, or by entering into strategic mergers and acquisitions.

October 2018 - TDK Corporation launched EPCOS NTC temperature sensor designed to measure extended temperature range between -10 °C up – +300 °C. The sensor can be used for many applications in automotive and industrial electronics. As the thermistors sleeves are made of ceramic, the sensor is suitable for use in applications under extreme operating conditions and is also resistant to aggressive media such as acid.

Temperature Sensors in Automotive Industry Segmentation

Temperature sensor in the automotive industry effectively and accurately measure the temperature of a vehicle's oil, coolant, and air to ensure optimum performance. Automotive temperature sensors usually consist of either a thermistor, thermocouple, resistance temperature detector or an infrared device. Thermocouples are mainly used for measuring high temperatures (like exhaust gas temperatures), and infrared sensors are utilized where direct contact with the object being sensed is undesirable.
