Ultrasonic Sensors Industry is estimated to grow considerably through 2032 due to the increasing penetration of industrial automation and robots in the manufacturing industry. Besides, ultrasonic sensors are used as proximity sensors and deployed in automobile self-parking technology, anti-collision safety systems, robotic obstacle detection systems, and manufacturing technology.
In addition, product attributes such as the compact size that enables easy integrability with any controller, high frequency, sensitivity, power, and higher accuracy are projected to have impeccable impact on the market prospects by 2032 end.
Overall, the ultrasonic sensors industry is segmented in terms of type, structure, application, industry vertical, and region.
Based on type, the others segment is anticipated to register noticeable gains through 2032. The segmental growth will be largely attributed to the increasing application of ultrasonic proximity sensors in the manufacturing and automotive sectors. The increasing use of proximity sensors in the automotive sector for building autonomous vehicles will escalate the product demand over the foreseeable period.
By structure, the closed-type ultrasonic sensor segment will grow considerably during the estimated timeframe, as these sensors are widely used in automobile rear detection and liquid level meters. The closed-type sensors help make the sensor waterproof and durable. Increasing demand for liquid-level detection and autonomous vehicles will offer several growth prospects to the industry.
Considering the application, the level measurement segment held over 35% market share in 2022. Ultrasonic sensors are one of the most preferred choices for many liquid-level applications. They are used for measurement of fluids during the transport of liquids such as milk, oil, and chemical products.
By industry vertical, the automotive segment accounted for over 20% in 2022 and is expected to surge notably during the estimated timeframe owing to the increasing demand for ADAS and autonomous vehicles. Ultrasonic sensors have been a common feature in automobiles for many years. These sensors have mostly been employed for parking assistance and blind spot detection.
Regionally, the Europe ultrasonic sensors market is expected to hold over 20% market share by 2032. The regional market growth will be primarily driven by the government regulations imposed for mandatory integration of advanced safety systems in vehicles. Besides, the key players in the region are constantly investing in new product launches and undertaking acquisitions and mergers to strengthen their position in the industry.
