Humidity Sensor Market Size, Historical Analysis, Emerging Technologies, Global Trends and Industry

A humidity sensor, also known as hygrometer or dew sensor, is used to monitor, measure, and detect the percentage of humidity in the air. Additionally, it also measures both moisture and air temperature. By measuring type, the humidity sensor can be categorized as absolute and relative. Relative humidity can be defined as the relationship or ratio of the presence of actual moisture content in the air to the possibility of maximum moisture content that can be sustained at a given temperature. Whereas, absolute humidity calculates the presence of moisture in the air, irrespective of the temperature.

Furthermore, the humidity sensor is extensively used in biomedical, food & beverage, consumer, industrial, agricultural, and environmental applications for detecting, monitoring, and sensing moisture.

Humidity sensors are categorized based on the type of parameters they calculate, into capacitance, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity sensor. Capacitive sensor is developed from an air-filled capacitor. As the humidity in the environment changes, so does the electrical conductivity of the sensor. Additionally, the capacitance-based humidity sensor offers consistent output which ensures the longevity of the sensor. However, the size, cost, and inflexibility of the capacitor-based humidity sensors are the critical areas of concerns.

The Humidity Sensors Market offer more advantages than conventional sensors due to low power consumption for their operation, the convenience of installation. It also enhances the transducer operation that includes structure design, sensing elements, fabrication technologies, and the principle of mechanism. However, the increased competition among market players has led to a decrease in market prices of humidity sensors and are considered a major hindrance to the market.

Global Humidity Sensor Market is expected to reach approximately USD 1.88 billion by 2023 growing at a 15% CAGR over the forecast period 2017-2023
