Market Dynamics

Introduction

An IoT sensor is defined as a device that detects or measures physical phenomena surrounding it and sends the information as feedback to the IoT system. These sensors are intended for the acquisition of different sorts of data, which include temperature, humidity, light, movement, noise, etc. They are usually low on power, and size and possess the abilities of sensing and data sending to other connected devices or a cloud. IoT sensors are very important for achieving real-time monitoring, automation, and analytical decision making in many industries and use cases.

Sensors allowed to obtain data in most cases, and now they are used in various fields: industrial, transport, medical and nursing care, logistics and tourism, agriculture and disaster prevention, regions’ economies, and many others.

Newer IoT sensors that are currently being developed in smaller chips fabrication and new techniques are generally being flexible, connected, and less power-consuming. The future has generated a new vision of connected factories that are characterized by low energy consumption, and hence the expectation to compel factories to look for solutions that will help them transform their structures to foster the growth of an Industry 4.0 environment for the demand of such technologies to rise, as individual producers engage in the formulation of complex systems.

Market Drivers

Growing use of sensors in IoT applications due to reduced cost and size, and technological developments

The widespread use of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology has led to a decrease in sensor size, and as a result, sensors are now being used in a variety of industries, including automotive, healthcare, and consumer products. This has been a major driving factor in the growth of the sensors market. In recent years, the deployment of smaller sensors in devices such as smartphones, drones, wearables, and robots has increased at a rapid pace.

RESTRAINT: Data security concerns

The widespread use of IoT devices has raised concerns about data privacy and security. IoT technology is heavily reliant on the data generated by these devices and sensors, which produce large amounts of information in real time. To make informed decisions, organizations and companies analyze this data. However, the authenticity and security of the data and devices must be ensured to prevent cyber-attacks from accessing the network through these decentralized points. Poorly secured IoT devices pose a significant threat, as they can be used as entry points for malware and cause harm to other devices in the network.

OPPORTUNITIES: Government initiatives for IoT projects

Governments around the world are showing support and providing funding for advancements in IoT, as they are expected to be among the biggest potential clients of IoT. Governments are seeking advancements in areas such as smart traffic management, energy conservation through smart meters, and enhanced security systems through smart cameras. Additionally, government funding is being provided for research projects aimed at developing smart cities. This support is expected to play a crucial role in driving the growth of IoT in the coming years.

CHALLENGES: Supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic

To curb the spread of COVID-19, social distancing is being rigorously implemented as a preventive measure. At the start of the pandemic, manufacturers also limited the number of employees on the production line to comply with social distancing protocols. This led to a decrease in production output and a halt in operations for some companies, causing disruptions in the supply chain. The restrictions on workers and the adherence to social distancing measures impacted the capacity of the manufacturing sector.

The implementation of social distancing to combat the spread of COVID-19 impacted the manufacturing sector, including the transportation of necessary components and raw materials. With lockdowns in place, delivering essential items to manufacturers became challenging and brought commerce to a halt, resulting in a negative impact on market growth, particularly in the manufacturing industry.
