India Industrial Sensors & Transmitters Market Analysis
The India Industrial Sensors and Transmitters Market size is estimated at USD 1.25 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.95 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 9.37% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
- Factory automation and Industry 4.0 rely heavily on industrial sensors. Sensors such as motion, environmental, and vibration sensors are used to monitor the health of equipment, ranging from linear or angular positioning to tilt sensing, leveling, shock, or fall detection. India's industries are well-positioned to expand their operations economically and demographically while supporting domestic interests and export opportunities that are expected to increase soon.
- As part of the 'Make in India' initiative, the Indian government intends to prioritize automobile manufacturing. According to the Auto Mission Plan (AMP) 2016-26, the passenger car market would triple to 9.4 million units by 2026, which is predicted to increase sensor usage in the region. Companies are also expanding their activities to strengthen their positions in the markets in which they operate. For example, Gurgaon-based auto component supplier Minda Industries partnered with two Chinese subsidiaries of US-based Sensata to purchase the wheel speed sensors required to enhance their portfolio.
- Furthermore, the demand for automation is expanding in government-designated essential industries such as food and beverage, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical, due to a lack of labor and the need for remote monitoring and working, which has driven the demand for various sensors.
- Cost and operational concerns are some of India's barriers to market growth. High installation costs may cause disinclination in the adoption of sensor technology. The sensor's specifications vary depending on the application, and the price of the sensors is determined by the quality of raw materials used. For example, as an important part of producing a superior temperature sensor, the producer's high-quality raw materials choice is vital.
- COVID-19 had a negative impact on many industrial sectors. The automotive and process industries were on hold or reduced production during the first quarter of 2020. As a result, the demand for all types of sensors in these industries was significantly impacted. Expansion of industrial and IoT devices for pressure sensors was observed as more and more process industries started investing in automation monitoring devices, owing to safety and stringent government regulations in India.
