In the secondary research process, various sources were used to identify and collect information important for this study. These include annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, white papers, technology journals, certified publications, articles by recognized authors, directories, and databases.
Secondary research was mainly used to obtain key information about the industry's supply chain, the total pool of market players, the classification of the market according to industry trends to the bottom-most level, regional markets, and key developments from the market and technology-oriented perspectives.
Primary Research
Primary research was also conducted to identify the segmentation types, key players, competitive landscape, and key market dynamics, such as drivers, restraints, opportunities, challenges, and industry trends, along with key strategies adopted by players operating in the industrial sensor market. Extensive qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed on the complete market engineering process to list key information and insights throughout the report.
Extensive primary research has been conducted after acquiring knowledge about the industrial sensor market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with experts from both demand (end users) and supply side (industrial sensor manufacturers/providers) across four major geographic regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and RoW. Approximately 80% and 20% of the primary interviews were conducted from the supply and demand side, respectively. These primary data have been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews.

Market Definition
Industrial sensors are tiny devices that detect and measure physical changes in their environment, such as temperature, pressure, movement, and levels of liquids and solids. This information is then sent to computers or other systems, where it is used to control machines, monitor processes, and ensure safety and quality. These are specifically designed for industrial applications in several end-use industries such as manufacturing, oil & gas, chemicals, mining, and energy & power. A sensor is a device that detects and responds to specific inputs, e.g., pressure, position, level, gas, temperature, image humidity, flow, motion, and force, received from the physical environment.
