IoT Sensors Market Size, Share & Growth

The study involved four major activities in estimating the size of the IoT sensors market. Exhaustive secondary research has been done to collect information on the market, peer market, and parent market. Validation of these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research has been the next step. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been employed to estimate the global market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation have been used to estimate the market sizes of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

Secondary sources that were referred to for this research study include corporate filings (such as annual reports, investor presentations, and financial statements); trade, business, and professional associations; white papers; certified publications; articles from recognized authors; directories; and databases. Secondary data was collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall market size, further validated by primary research.

Primary Research

Extensive primary research was conducted after understanding and analyzing the IoT sensors market size scenario through the secondary research process. Several primary interviews were conducted with key opinion leaders from both the demand- and supply-side vendors across four major regions—North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and RoW (including the Middle East & Africa and South America).

After interacting with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primary. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report.

Market Definition

IoT sensors refer to sensors used in smart applications, which require uninterrupted connectivity to carry out real-time data analytics. They require common connecting platforms for collecting and analyzing data. IoT sensors are based on the computing concept that considers every physical object to be connected to the Internet to communicate with each other. Sensors are the most important component in the IoT ecosystem. They gather required data from their surroundings and communicate it to the concerned operators. Image, temperature, pressure, ultrasonic, light, and position sensors, accelerometers, and gyroscopes are the key sensors in the IoT ecosystem.
