An ultrasonic sensor refers to an electronic device that is utilized to measure the distance of a particular target object by emitting ultrasonic sound waves. These high-frequency sound waves are reflected from boundaries to produce a distinct echo pattern, which is further converted into an electrical signal. It utilizes a transducer to send and receive ultrasonic pulses that assist in offering information about an object’s proximity. As a result, these instruments are widely utilized for numerous applications across the automotive, healthcare, and food and beverages sector.
The global market is majorly driven by the increasing requirement for efficient object detection and distance measurement solutions from multiple end use sectors. Moreover, ultrasonic sensors are widely utilized in the food and beverages sector for material handling and hygiene detection. With the shifting dietary preferences of the masses and the growing awareness regarding food safety, there has been considerable growth in the food and beverages sector, which, in turn, has provided an impetus to the market growth. Apart from this, the escalating product demand in the manufacturing sector for liquid level control, box sorting scheme, robotic sensing and high-speed counting of objects on a conveyor belt is also acting as a major growth-inducing factor. The market is further driven by the increasing integration of advanced features, such as collision detection and parking assistance, with driverless cars. These sensors are extensively utilized for detecting the distance to a nearby obstacle in a precise manner, thereby avoiding the chances of collision or accidents. Besides this, the widespread usage of ultrasonic sensors for echocardiograms and echo graphs across the healthcare segment is also positively influencing the market growth.
