The vigorous development of the industrial Internet has brought huge development opportunities for smart sensors, and this article will refer to more than 30 sensor companies involved in the industrial field selected by CCID consultants from different countries and regions, and sort out more than 600 product varieties to analyze the global product and application market.
The development status of global industrial intelligent sensors
The global industrial smart sensor industry is experiencing rapid development and technological innovation. The industry competition pattern shows that large enterprises occupy a dominant position in the market due to their strong R&D capabilities and brand influence. In terms of technology, the sensor industry is moving towards higher accuracy, higher reliability, and lower costs. The application of new technologies such as MEMS sensors and wireless sensor networks will further expand the range of applications of sensors in various fields. In addition, the intelligence of sensors is also an important trend, through the built-in microprocessor, the sensor can achieve automatic detection, automatic compensation, data storage and other functions. Driven by the continuous demand of intelligent and digital markets in the fields of automobiles, industrial automation, medical insurance, environmental protection, and consumption, the global sensor market will maintain steady growth in 2020, laying a product foundation for the development of industrial intelligent sensors. In 2020, the smart sensor market reached $35.81 billion, accounting for 22.3% of the total size. Among them, the output value of smart sensors in United States accounted for the highest proportion, reaching 43.3%, followed by Europe, accounting for 29.7%, Europe and the United States have become the main production bases of global smart sensors, accounting for more than 70%, while the Asia-Pacific region (China, India, etc.) has maintained a rapid growth rate.

The accelerated development of the industrial Internet provides application scenarios for the development of industrial intelligent sensors
In contrast, developed countries have a solid industrial foundation, a strong technological foundation and strong innovation capabilities. The United States, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region are the key regions for the development of the industrial Internet, among which United States enterprises have significant advantages, GE, Microsoft, Rockwell, Amazon and other giants are actively deployed, coupled with various start-ups focusing on cutting-edge innovation, which is expected to help United States maintain its dominant position in the industry. European industrial giants such as Siemens, Bosch, ABB, SAP, etc., have also made rapid progress by virtue of their basic advantages in the manufacturing industry. The vigorous development of the industrial Internet provides an application prospect for the development of industrial intelligent sensors.
