Rising Demand for Smart and IoT-Enabled Sensors
India's sensor industry is witnessing huge growth as the use of smart technologies and Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices gains traction across industries. According to the sources, in August 2024, Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST) created a smartphone-based fluorescence sensor to detect L-dopa levels in Parkinson's patients, allowing for accurate dosage adjustments. The low-cost, portable system improves disease management, particularly in remote locations. Moreover, with increasing digital infrastructure and government programs, such as Smart Cities Mission, demand for sensors in smart home, automated industrial equipment, and connected healthcare applications is on the rise. Advanced sensors like motion, pressure, and temperature sensors are being used in IoT ecosystems to promote automation and efficiency. The spread of 5G technology is also promoting sensor uptake in real-time monitoring uses, such as predictive maintenance and asset tracking. The automotive industry is also embedding IoT-based sensors to facilitate technologies like advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. The greater emphasis on data-driven decision-making is also promoting sensor installation in industries like manufacturing and agriculture. This trend will continue, fueled by growing digital connectivity and technology advances in low-power, miniaturized sensors.
Growing Adoption of MEMS and NEMS Sensors in Consumer Electronics
Increasing consumer electronics demand for small and powerful devices is driving the use of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Nano-Electro-Mechanical Systems (NEMS) sensors in India. MEMS-based accelerometers, gyroscopes, and pressure sensors are becoming more reliant on smartphones, wearables, and smart home appliances to expand their functionality. With boosting health monitoring focus, wearable fitness gadgets and smartwatches are combining biosensors and motion sensors to track heart rate, oxygen levels, and exercise. MEMS and NEMS technologies have the benefits of low power consumption, miniaturization, and enhanced sensitivity, and are hence suited to next-generation consumer products. Besides, cost reductions are being promoted by advances in semiconductor manufacturing, bringing these sensors within reach of makers. As the Indian market moves towards high-tech devices, growing penetration of MEMS and NEMS sensors across gaming, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) applications will propel the market further ahead.
Expansion of Industrial Automation and Smart Manufacturing
The drive towards Industry 4.0 is speeding up the uptake of sensors for industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing in India. For instance, in January 2024, Jeep India teamed up with Bosch to test the ADAS sensors in the for higher safety and automation. The testing vehicle was caught in Bengaluru, indicating leaps in India's sensor technology for cars. Moreover, pressure, temperature, proximity, and optical sensors are used extensively for real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and process optimization. The manufacturing industry is adopting automation to boost efficiency, lower operating costs, and increase quality control. Government initiatives like Make in India and Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) plans are also encouraging investment in automated manufacturing plants, leading to industrial sensors demand. The combination of AI and machine learning with smart factories also improves the capability of sensors, enabling industries to adopt data-driven decision-making for higher productivity. Higher emphasis on workplace safety also leads to the adoption of environmental and gas sensors in harmful environments. As the industrial sector has grown rapidly and is highly adopting interconnected systems, automation through sensors will be key to India's manufacturing revolution.
