Technical Development and Application Fields of Pressure Sensors

Pressure sensors, as key components in industrial automation, automotive electronics, medical devices, and consumer electronics, have seen continued growth in recent years as demand for intelligent devices increases. The following analyzes the current state of the industry from three perspectives: technology, application, and trends.

Technological Development
Currently, mainstream technologies include MEMS (microelectromechanical systems), piezoresistive, and capacitive sensors. MEMS holds a significant market share due to its miniaturization and low cost. Technological advancements focus on high precision, low power consumption, and adaptability to harsh environments. For example, the development of ceramic capacitive sensors for high-temperature and high-pressure applications has accelerated. The integration of wireless transmission and self-calibration functions has further expanded IoT application scenarios.

Application Areas
Demand in the industrial sector (process control and hydraulic systems) remains stable, accounting for over 40% of the total market share. The automotive sector (tire pressure monitoring and new energy battery management) has seen significant growth driven by electrification. Medical equipment (ventilators and disposable consumables) continues to grow due to normalized demand after the pandemic. Demand for miniaturized sensors in consumer electronics (wearables and home appliances) is also gradually increasing.
