Drivers -Force Sensors Market
Increasing industrial automation
In recent time automation and robotics are one of the primary factor that is reviving and transforming the industrial sector. Industry 4.0 is enhancing and driving the adoption of automation and robotics solutions at large extent across various industrial verticals. Force and torque sensing enables robotic processes such as grinding, deburring, sanding and polishing. A force torque sensor in machine tending can help a robot locate jig stops when putting a part in a vice on a CNC machine. Force sensing also helps in applications for product inspection, packaging, and robotic assembly. With the drive toward Industry 4.0 trends, the use on the factory floor of robotic, automation and control systems has become commonplace for increasing performance, productivity and profitability.
Improvement of medical devices with force sensor technology will drive the market
Medical industry is increasingly adopting smart technologies and advanced electronic equipment. Force sensors are another important means which make the medical devices smarter and efficient. The force sensors are applied in the medical devices such as surgical grippers to know the force exerted on the patient. This helps surgeons to perform critical surgeries. Global health care spending is expected to rise. The growth in healthcare expenditure will drive up the demand for medical devices which will augment the force sensor market.
Challenges - Force Sensors Market
Difficulty in miniaturization of sensors can restrict the growth
For many end-user industries, especially the medical industry, force sensors are expected to be smaller and thinner. When the electronic devices / equipment are ever more portable, the sensors need to be smaller. However, the process of miniaturizing the sensors presents significant challenges that can potentially limit its adoption in many user industries. There are a lot of elements that need to be made small to bring down the sensor size. There are technological and budgetary problems here that generate significant costs in order to allow multiple functions in a small sensor. The development of compact sensors thus needs significant R&D efforts from stakeholders to aNAress the changing market needs.
