Industrial Sensor Technologies and Markets

SUMMARY

Maximizing business opportunities in the sensors arena is a challenging task. Significant changes are taking place in the sensors industry. In the past it was dominated by small-to-medium size companies with a niche technology to address a specific part of the market. The structural shift that is taking place has been driven by many external forces including new developments in semiconductor technology, smart sensors, bus-sensor developments and the proliferation of distributed networks, and demands by sensor users for cheaper yet more complex products.

This BCC study focuses on key sensor technologies and applications, and provides data about the size and growth of numerous sensor markets, company profiles and industry trends. Also, the goal of this report is to provide a detailed and comprehensive multiclient study of the U.S. market for industrial sensors, and potential business opportunities in the future. The objectives include a thorough coverage of the underlying economic issues driving the industrial sensor business, as well as assessments of new and potential products and services that companies are developing. Social, political and regulatory issues also are covered.

This analysis provides the most complete accounting of ongoing industrial sensor developments in the U.S. currently available in a multiclient format. It provides the most thorough and up-to-date assessment that can be found anywhere on the subject. The study also provides extensive quantification of the many important facets of market developments in industrial sensors in the U.S. This, in turn, contributes to the determination of what kind of strategic response companies may adopt to compete in this dynamic market.

SCOPE OF STUDY

The report contains coverage of:

• The industrial sensor industry and its structure, and the many companies involved in providing these products
• The U.S. market for industrial sensors including passive, active, electromechanical and semiconductive
• Sensor applications including temperature, position, pressure, force and load, flow, level and the presence of chemicals
• Corporate strategies and information technologies
• Economic and technological issues regarded as critical to the industrys current state of change
• The competitive position of the main players in the market and the strategic options they face.
