Automotive Pressure Sensors Industry Outlook - By Technology

Capacitive sensors dominated the market with a share of 21.2% in 2021. Capacitive pressure sensors have several advantages over piezoresistive pressure sensors such as relatively high-pressure sensitivity and low temperature sensitivity. Other advantages of these sensors include design simplicity, non-requirement for exotic materials, lower power consumption and low cost. Pressure sensors are basically an electronic device used to detect the pressure of an element state. When a pressure is applied to the sensor, the elements inside the sensor, for example a diaphragm, undergo a deformation or change in shape. This mechanical movement produces an electrical signal that can be easily recognized, detected and measured by other electrical devices. This electrical signal can either be current, resistance, capacitance or voltage. Many different types of pressure sensors are being implemented these days and can be classified based according to their applications, type of measurement and their sensing elements.
