Global Markets and Technologies for Wireless Sensors — Focus on Asia-Pacific
REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
- The global market for wireless sensor devices used in end vertical applications totaled $532 million in 2010 and $790 million in 2011. This market is expected to increase at a 43.1% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and reach an estimated $4.7 billion by 2016.
- The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is unsurprisingly the fastest growing market for wireless sensors. This region was worth $225 million in 2011 and is projected to reach $1.6 billion by 2016, a CAGR of 48.6% between 2011 and 2016.
- Japan has a top market for wireless sensors in the APAC region. This segment was worth $77 million in 2011 and is expected to reach $392 million by 2016, a CAGR of 38.5% between 2011 and 2016.
REPORT SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Wireless sensor devices connect sensors wirelessly among each other as well as to monitoring and management setups. While the sensing principles are consistent with that of wireline sensors, wireless sensors have the challenge of operating with an attractive form and with robust power management.
The payout is spectacular. In most cases, wireless sensors beat their wireline counterparts hands down in the following aspects:
- Physical reach
- Time to roll out and install
- Pricing
- Suitability in harsh operating environments
Wireless sensor devices are the actual sensing elements that are present in the wireless sensor networks. They do not include gateways or management software.
This report deals exclusively with wireless technologies employed in the personal area network (PAN) and local area network (LAN) topologies. It does not cover wide area networks (e.g., commercial cellular networks).
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
Wireless sensor networks are the drivers of the grand scheme of the Internet of Things. This scheme visualizes the networking and connection of practically any device that can embed a communicating modem. While this premise is no doubt exciting, there are very few drivers in the near future than can pave the path for its realization. Wireless sensor networks are one of these few drivers. They are arguably the most tangible, realizable, and commercially viable drivers for the Internet of Things.
However, the fit into this grand scheme is only an aside to the wireless sensor story. The main theme here is the phenomenal amount of use cases that can be engendered by the technology. These include the wireless enablement of existing wireline sensors as well as the spawning of new use cases altogether.
Everything is, however, not all positive. The technology faces compelling technical and business challenges that need to be overcome before it can realize its potential. This report is an effort towards forecasting the market size for wireless sensor devices in the face of these challenges.
