Description

The global vibration sensor market was valued at USD 4,081.1 million in 2020 to USD 6,682.9 million by 2027, at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2021 to 2027. In an increasingly competitive industrial market, new features are required to produce more smart machines. Monitoring a machine's condition has become a fundamental need, which is expected to boost demand for vibration sensors over the forecast period. There is an increasing need for high-performing operational products due to the growing significance of industrial hubs worldwide. This has increased the demand for vibration sensors, as they are an integral part of defining the product's efficiency.

Monitoring and analyzing machines or other critical equipment in various industrial sectors have become crucial for the predictive maintenance program. Typical applications demand vibration measurements in the horizontal, vertical, and axial direction on both the inboard and outboard motor bearings. In the industrial sector, vibration levels captured from these sensors can analyze the machinery's state. If corrections are needed, sensors can give remedial procedures that need to be performed.

Further, companies focus on deploying technologies that identify when, why, and how assets will fail. Companies also focus on quickly identifying and prioritizing common mechanical issues such as bearing defects, gear wear, under lubrication, and pump cavitation, enabling them to focus more on operations-critical tasks. With the increasing energy demand, there is a growing need for energy efficiency, which can only be obtained from the electricity supply machinery's optimal maintenance. Ensuring that all equipment is functioning optimally remains an essential priority for manufacturers, many of whom turn to predictive maintenance, enabling technology and solutions on their production floor.

Global Vibration Sensor Market Dynamics

Drivers: Increasing Need for Machine Condition Monitoring and Maintenance

The advent of various approaches in diagnosing machinery and bearings health has revolutionized machine maintenance activities globally. With the focus on low-cost mass production, the current maintenance professionals turn toward condition monitoring to succeed in this intensely competitive environment. Globally, environmental regulations on emissions are increasing. The rules often require control and continuous measurement of pollutant gases, dust, and other toxic materials. It is necessary to secure the availability of data needed by environmental regulatory agencies to ensure continual operations. Else, fines and penalties up to and including plant shutdown could occur.

Stimulated by its success in a wide range of applications, right from turbine protection to monitoring bearings in paper-making machines, monitoring techniques enhance products' characteristics with a clear eye toward the future and compete in the global arena. The increasing utilization of wireless communication technology and HVAC systems' growth are significant factors influencing the market. The expanding awareness among organizations has led to increased adoption of condition monitoring techniques for optimizing asset health, which has also driven the market's growth.

Restraints: Volatility in Demand

The major limitation in the market is the fluctuating demand from end-user verticals. The demand is not fixed among the end-user sector that acts as a challenge for its manufacturing plans. The rejection rate in manufacturing facilities is either due to damage or low sensitivity, reducing overall production capacity. Additionally, rapidly changing requirements across the automotive, medical, and aerospace sectors create the need for more precise measurement. For instance, ensuring the end product's quality is always the top priority in the automotive and healthcare industries. Hence strict standards are specified for this purpose. Especially if many individual components are assembled to form one product, the suppliers must test each component, which is the only way to guarantee the end product's quality. In many such cases, the only solution is to integrate monitoring systems into the production process. Moreover, demanding industries such as aerospace and aviation are operating in highly challenging and expensive environments.

Non-contact displacement transducers are estimated to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period

Based on the product, the global vibration sensor market has been segmented into accelerometers, velocity sensors, non-contact displacement transducers, and other products. Non-contact displacement transducers accounted for the fastest-growing segment with a CAGR of 8.5% in the global vibration sensor market forecast for 2021-2027.

Displacement Sensors or Proximity Sensors, also known as non-contact displacement sensors, measures shaft position or movement (vibration) without physical contact to determine the internal movement and clearance on bearings. This type of sensor measures a frequency range of 1 to 1500 Hz and low amplitudes, typical for sleeve bearing applications. A non-contact proximity sensor consists of three parts: a probe, an extension cable, and a driver, which jointly create a tuned oscillation frequency, which is disturbed by the metal surface of the target. Displacement sensors convert the movement or vibration into electromagnetic, electrostatic, or magnetoelectric signals that can be read and converted into data and a readable format.

Asia Pacific accounts for the highest CAGR during the forecast period in the vibration sensor market

Based on region, the global vibration sensor market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East & Africa.
