Market Drivers & Key Challenges 
The market for force sensor market is proliferating for the factors such as mounting adoption of 
force sensors that is being done in automotive sector. The factor is one major factor fueling the 
growth of force sensor market. At present, force sensors are gaining a lot of traction due to the 
rising adoption of these in consumer electronics. The growth is accredited to the growing 
popularity of touch interface devices among population across the world, which could, in other way, 
take the market to spur during the forecast period. 
At the same time, the major giants such as Honeywell International, TE Connectivity, and General 
Electric are speedily investing into the force sensor market. The reason comes forward is in the 
support of rising demand from various industry verticals such as automotive, retail, consumer 
electronics, and medical. These factors are rapidly forcing the market to gain traction during the 
forecast period, which would encourage the market to expand its size constructively.  
Segmentation: 
As per the study, the force sensor market trends have been conducted through segmental analysis, 
where the market has been segmented by the elements of type, application and vertical.   
In terms of type: Optical force sensor, piezo-resistive force sensor, capacitive force sensor, magnetic 
force sensor, ultrasonic force sensor, electrochemical force sensor, strain gauges and load cell 
sensor are the segments. Among which, piezo resistive force sensor type is likely to witness steady 
growth during the forecast period after magneto elastic force sensor. Whereas, the piezo electric 
force sensor type is also expected to own the largest market share of the overall force sensor 
market. 
In terms of vertical: Aerospace & defense, manufacturing, medical & pharmaceuticals, agriculture, 
printing & packaging, industrial, automotive and more are the segments. Among which, the 
automotive segment owns the largest market share the market during the assessment period. Such 
a rapid expansion is due to the rising demand for sensors per vehicle. Even the rising fuel efficiency 
standard is yet another factor responsible for fueling the growth of force sensor market. 
Regional Outlook 
Regionally, the global market for force sensor market has been studies for the key regions of North 
America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World. 
As per the study, the North America region occupies the largest market share of global Force sensor 
market as the growth is mainly led by U.S. and Canada and attributed to the rising demand for cloud 
computing applications. The region also has also a well-established infrastructure, which allows 
implementation of advanced technologies. Therefore, mounting adoption of internet of things is one 
foremost factor responsible for driving the growth of force sensor market. 
Asia Pacific is also likely to observe relatively faster adoption and is expected to expand its size at 
the highest CAGR during the assessment period. Within Asia Pacific, force sensor market is 
projected to contribute faster to the growth of revenue as the region is backed by growing demand 
for force sensors from automotive industry. In addition, the growing popularity of touch interfaces 
devices in countries such as Japan, China, South Korea and India are also motivating the market to 
expand substantially.
