Ultrasonic sensor market in Asia-Pacific is expected to grow from US$ 1.30 Bn in 2018 to US$ 3.03 Bn by the year 2027. This represents a CAGR of 9.9% from the year 2019 to 2027.
In the recent past, the adoption of automation was low in nonautomotive industries compared to that in the automotive industry. The penetration of industrial automation is now gaining pace in these industries. With the increasing functionality of equipment such as industrial robots, this adoption is further anticipated to accelerate in the years to come. Moreover, developed markets, including the US and Japan, are at the forefront in terms of adopting automation technologies; however, there are still numerous opportunities available for the industrial market to grow further even in the developed markets. The overall growth of the industrial sector is attributed to the growing necessity of modernization and transformation in these markets. The growing popularity of automation across different industry verticals is expected to drive the growth of the ultrasonic sensor market.
The Asia-Pacific manufacturing sector is rapidly expanding, with increasing investments from emerging regions in the adoption of new manufacturing plants. This sector is likely to expand further by embracing technological advancements to enhance plant productivity, maintain the edge with customers, and gain competitive advantage. Developments in this sector are driven by economic growth worldwide. Also, the sector is witnessing a technological renaissance, which is changing the outlook, systems, and processes of the modern factory. For instance, the Government of India started the "Make in India" initiative to boost the growth of various sectors such as automobiles, textiles, and other industries. It has a further plan of launching Make in India 2.0 as the next round of the first round of campaign started in 2014. The initiative focuses on transforming India into a global manufacturing hub. The growing popularity of the ultrasonic sensor in the manufacturing industry is expected to drive the growth of the ultrasonic sensor market.
