Automotive sensors are essential components which can be used to process and control the pressure of temperature, oil, coolant and level of emissions etc. There are many different types of sensors used in automobiles such as mass air flow sensor, engine speed sensor, oxygen sensor, manifold absolute pressure sensor. Main function of sensor is to measure and monitor a huge range of vehicle parameters such as fuel consumption and airbag deployment. These sensors ensure effective and safe operation of vehicle by analyzing, controlling and detecting the performance of external and internal atmosphere of the vehicle. Sensors are implemented in vehicles to fasten the reliability of the vehicles and the safety concerns of the passengers. The growth of the automobile sensor market is anticipated due to increased demand of safety features in the vehicles and strict emission standards.

Automotive Sensors Market Dynamics

Growing demand and adoption of advanced technologies is fueling up the growth of the automotive sensor market. Automotive manufacturers are encouraging the replacement of optical systems or potentiometers that make use of conventional position sensing mechanisms with non-contact 3D magnetic sensors. These sensors help in reducing errors by a considerable margin owing to wear or contamination, ensure stable measurements and save space in high temperature environment. Growing demand of pressure sensors is anticipated to augment the market growth at a significant pace. The pressure sensors are integrated in side car doors to deliver digital crash signals to the central airbag unit to avoid any accidents. Furthermore, in diesel engines and gasolines, air pressure sensors are used to control engine effectiveness by efficiently controlling spark advancements. Furthermore, increasing growth of autonomous vehicles is another key factor which is fueling up the demand for automotive sensors in the market. However, high cost of implementation and various limitations which are applied under severe weather conditions hampers the market growth. Number of sensors which are used in automobiles have restricted bandwidth signal and range of measurement which further creates problem in differentiating between signals i.e., road obstacles and system noise.

COVID 19 Impact on Automotive Sensors Market 

COVID-19 pandemic has spread across 215 countries worldwide affecting various industries worldwide. To effectively control cash flows in this pandemic investors and equipment manufacturers are anticipated to reduce innovation funding to control the movement of day-to-day cash flow. Key players are further expected to reprioritize investment plans and strategic plans. Hence, various pandemic measures taken worldwide may lead to delay in adoption and development of smart technologies such as autonomous driving (AD).
