Global Pressure Sensor Market Research Report

Pressure sensing was one of the first reported uses of acoustic wave (especially SAW) Technology. SAW velocities are highly affected by stress or pressure applied to the piezoelectric substrate on which the wave is propagating, thereby making it more suitable for pressure sensing applications. SAW pressure sensors require no power. They are wireless, low cost, rugged, extremely small, and lightweight, thus rendering themselves perfect for measuring pressure in moving objects, such as machine tool status monitoring or car and truck tires.

The global acoustic wave pressure sensor market, mainly driven by advent of micro-systems and wireless technologies for use in sensors in both medical & automotive applications, was valued at $65.16 million in 2013 and is projected to reach $171.40 million by 2018, at a CAGR of 21.34% between 2013 and 2018.

Being wireless and low-cost, acoustic wave pressure sensors are preferred over capacitive and piezoresistive sensors, which require operating power and are not wireless. Current applications of SAW pressure sensors include tire pressure monitoring or industrial process control with instrumented valves as well as implantable blood pressure sensor for medical usage. A SAW pressure sensor weighing less than 1 g with a resolution of 0.73 psi is can be integrated into a car tire.
