The market size of temperature sensors is expected to grow from 6.3 billion US dollars in 2020 to 8.8 billion US dollars in 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.8%. The growth of the temperature sensor industry is mainly due to the increasing popularity of temperature sensors in advanced and portable medical devices, the growing demand for temperature sensors in the automotive industry, and the increasing adoption of home and building automation systems.
A temperature sensor refers to a sensor that can sense temperature and convert it into a usable output signal. Temperature sensors are the core part of temperature measuring instruments, with a wide variety of types. According to the measurement method, it can be divided into two categories: contact and non-contact. According to the characteristics of sensor materials and electronic components, it can be divided into two categories: thermistor and thermocouple.
