Market Overview

Smart sensors are smart devices that are created using a combination of sensing elements and an embedded processing chip and communication capabilities. Unlike traditional sensors, they do not require external processing units in order to interpret, transmit, or act upon the data they generate. The smart sensor market in China consists of the usage and sale of sophisticated smart sensors that, in addition to traditional sensing elements, incorporate a microprocessor for autonomous collection, processing, and communication of data. In many sectors of the economy, smart sensors in China are facilitating automation, machine-to-machine communication, and data analytics. Therefore, smart sensors play an important role in the movement toward digital transformation as they offer contextual awareness, self-calibration, and the ability to be operated remotely. Applications for smart sensors include environmental sensing, biometric monitoring, automotive safety, and diagnostic monitoring of industrial equipment.

The rapid adoption of Industry 4.0, the development of the Internet of Things, and an increasing demand for autonomous vehicles and smart consumer electronics are all contributing to the expansion of the China Smart Sensor market. The Chinese government supports this growth by investing heavily in smart city initiatives, manufacturing (through the Made in China 2025 initiative), energy efficiency and localisation of the smart sensor industry. To encourage this growth, it has provided both financial and policy assistance to companies manufacturing these types of sensors, particularly artificial intelligence (AI) and edge-computing based sensors, to reduce foreign dependence on advanced micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), and to maintain national technological leadership in quantum sensing and automotive sensors.
